Dear RMS Parents and Families,
I hope everyone is enjoying track out. We’ve finally had some nice weather 😊 I wanted to provide you with a brief update today, but I will be sending more detailed information to you on Monday.
- Updated Master Schedule: On Monday you will receive an updated copy of our master schedule. While you will not see any significant changes, some updates have been made to accommodate the increase in the number of students who are returning for in-person instruction.
VA Families: Please note that Wednesdays will now be a regular, live day of instruction instead of our RAM Wednesdays from 3rd quarter. However, we have adjusted the master schedule to allow for a nice break in the middle of the day, which will also provide teachers with an opportunity for office hours and to work with students individually.
- Return to Campus Document: On Monday I will be providing you a link to our “Return to Campus” document. This document was shared in the beginning of the year, but has been updated to reflect our move to Plan A. It will be critical that you and your child read this to facilitate a smooth return to school.
- Powerschools for 4th Quarter: Please note that PS will not be accurate as we begin 4th Before we can make any schedule updates or changes in PS we must finalize 3rd quarter grades and print report cards. We will keep you informed as to when it will be updated to accurately reflect 4th quarter information.
- 4th Quarter Schedules: When we return on April 14th, 6th and 7th grade students will report to their 2nd period class and a paper copy of their schedule will be provided.
Because 8th graders go to electives or PE for their first class, they should report to the cafeteria to get a paper copy of their schedule.
We will have additional staff and a group of 8th grade student escorts at the main entrance and bus entrance to assist our Virtual Academy students who will be arriving on campus for the first time this year. They will welcome these students and walk them to their first class.
We are still limiting visitors into the school, so we ask parents to remain in their vehicles if you are dropping students off.
- 4th Quarter Material Pick-Up: Students who are Virtual Academy for 4th quarter should make plans to come by school to pick up 4th quarter materials. Dates for this will be Tuesday, April 13th from 9:00 am – 11:00 am or 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm
We will also have another pick up time on Wednesday, April 21st (asynchronous day). The times on that date are still be planned.
Plan A students will receive their materials when they return on April 14th.
6. Bus Transportation for VA Students Moving to Plan A: Eligible bus riders currently in Virtual Academy who are returning to in-person learning must apply for bus service, if needed. The student must meet all transportation eligibility requirements. Students must also submit the health attestation form. Bus assignments will not be provided until the attestation form is received. If your child requires transportation it is imperative that you go here to sign up. You should go here to submit the attestation form. Requests made for transportation will be closed after three days if the attestation form is not received, and the parent will be notified. Students will be assigned to a bus as quickly as possible after the attestation form is received.
Sincerely,
Thaddeus Sherman
Principal
Rolesville Middle School
