Empowering Leaders to Grow and Serve

Good afternoon RMS families,

I want to begin by celebrating that we have had a wildly successful 13 weeks of uninterrupted seated classes. This celebration is due in part to our amazing teachers, paraprofessionals, nurses, custodians, food service, transportation, substitutes, and entire staff for their dedication to making school happen!

Our RMS students also make up this amazing group of individuals and have shown us they are resilient and remind us of our "why". We have overcome many obstacles thus far, and find ourselves with one more challenge with learning from home, but WE CAN DO THIS TOGETHER! Our school family has worked hard to develop a schedule and a plan so that our students continue to receive live instruction and support. This plan provides us with the following:

The ability for students to be engaged throughout the day
The ability for students to receive immediate feedback from teachers in a remote setting
The ability for teachers to collaborate to ensure curriculum is effectively implemented and paced
Flexibility for families

The information you will find in this newsletter includes the daily student schedule, student information, and a student video describing both. RMS is an wonderful place with caring and student-focused people. We will continue to learn together while considering the positive possibilities.

In it together,

Allison Dishman

RMS Principal

How RMS has set students up for success...

Yesterday and today, teachers have been preparing students to access the tools they will be using while learning from home. Students have had the opportunity to practice and ask questions about these tools while live in the classroom with each teacher.

During the day today, students were able to hear from Mrs. Dishman who explained the virtual learning schedule and additional student information they will need. Students have received a paper copy of the virtual learning schedule to physically post in an area for quick reference.

The RMS virtual learning schedule, student information document, and explanation video with Mrs. Dishman have been placed in Canvas for students and families to access.

If students are experiencing technical difficulties and are unsure of what to do, click on the SUPPORT GUIDES button in any Canvas course, then select RMS under "technology help". This will help troubleshoot many of the issues that may arise.
