Estimados padres,
Our school does its best to offer opportunities to involve parents not only in school activities but also as partners in the educational process of their children. Please complete this parent survey to assist us in determining what kinds of activities have worked well, what activities need to be improved, and what additional activities should be included. Please complete this survey by March 28, 2025.
Nuestro colegio hace todo lo posible para ofrecer oportunidades para involucrar a los padres no solo en las actividades escolares, sino también como socios en el proceso educativo de sus hijos. Complete esta encuesta para padres para ayudarnos a determinar qué tipo de actividades han funcionado bien, qué actividades deben mejorarse y qué actividades adicionales deben incluirse. Por favor, devuelva esta encuesta al maestro de su hijo o a la oficina de la escuela antes de 28 de marzo.
Tomorrow, Wednesday, March 5, there is a threat of severe weather with wind gusts in the morning forecasted to exceed 40 mph. This wind speed exceeds the threshold allowed for school buses to be on roadways. This wind event will result in a need to shift to e-learning tomorrow.
Employees should plan to report to their work location on a two-hour delayed start, with no building or office opening before 10 a.m.
Afterschool extracurricular practices, games, and events will continue tomorrow as scheduled. There will be no QuestZone tomorrow.
We apologize for the challenges that this will cause our families and appreciate your continued cooperation and support!

Jeff Vaughn, visiting artist from the South Carolina Governor's School for the Arts and Humanities, visited RSM on January 24 to lead the Junior Beta and Student Council Clubs in a session of facilitated group drumming.
As we discussed during the session, group drumming has been shown to improve focus, increase social connection, and release endorphins. Most of all, both clubs made a lot of noise and had fun!
