The Prowler

Teachers, Staff, Parents, and Students,

Today we begin week two of the second semester (4th Six Weeks)! Lots of preparation for the upcoming STAAR assessments to be administered beginning in April 2024. Spring tutorials have begun across the grade levels with our major focus on Reading and Math; however, we will also be targeting 5th & 8th grade Science and 8th grade Social Studies. Tutoring occurs Monday-Thursday from 4:00-5:30 p.m. Transportation is available. The RHMS Student Council is sponsoring a Krispy Kreme doughnut sale for $14 a dozen. If interested please see any RHMS Student Council member or Mrs. Angie Walls, sponsor.

RHHS P-TECH invited the RHMS 8th grade students for a CTE Tour and Pathway Presentations on Thursday, January 25, 2024. Students got to experience first hand all the various programs available to them as they begin to decide which career pathway they each want to explore.

Several of our RHMS band students auditioned for the All-Region Band. Fifteen of our RHMS Band members and one alternate earned a chair in the ATSSB All-Region Middle School Band. Below you will see members of the All-Region Band as they rehearsed and prepared for their performance held on Saturday, January 20, 2024. Congratulations to all our participants and kudos to our awesome band directors for their continued dedication to the success of our band program.

Three of our RHMS band students auditioned for the TMEA All Region Jazz Band. Auditioning students included Brian Rayner, Jacob Delgado and Isabella Rocha. Brian Rayner earned 1st chair in the TMEA All Region Jazz Band! This is an especially big accomplishment since our students auditioned up a classification (5A and 6A feeder middle schools). Rio Hondo Middle School is the only A-4A middle school represented in the All Region Jazz Band. Congratulations to all our students for a job well done!

#ThoughtForTheDay...”Ever reached a point where a student’s tardiness, chronic absenteeism, lack of effort, or immature behavior frustrated or upset you, but when you learned their full story it broke your heart? See these behaviors as starting points, not ending points.” @casas_jimmy

“This is what teachers do. We have brief, temporary encounters with hundreds of kids a year, and yet those brief moments have permanent, lasting impacts. You may be a small part of a kid’s story, but the role you play in it is HUGE.” #relationships
