Dear students, parents and guardians:
Welcome back! Thank you for all of your help in making these first two weeks a success.
As we have done each year, we will be practicing evacuation drills and lockdown drills over the next several weeks.
Below are a few of the upcoming events:
Tomorrow, August 16th, Photogenius will be taking fall pictures of all of the students for the yearbook and for personal purchase. Packets for picture orders should be available soon.
The deadline for applications to be turned in for 7th and/or 8th grade students interested in being a member of the RMS Robotics Team Fuzion is Friday, August 30th Applications are available in the office. All completed applications are to be given to Mrs. Fields in room C219.
The sixth grade students will be attending the annual Groundwater Festival on Friday, August 30th. More information will be sent home with the students prior to that event.
The middle school volleyball team have home games scheduled for Monday, August 26th, against Twin Springs, Monday, September 16th, against Norton, Wednesday, September 25th against Central and Monday, September 30th against Union.
Three reminders: First, the two normal methods for RMS students being picked up after school are either by parents driving around the bus lane after the buses come through and meeting their children at the nearest available cone, or by parents or siblings walking across the bus lane street and escorting their children across the road to their car. Middle school students are not to cross the bus lane road or walk through the parking lot unless accompanied by an adult or high school sibling.
Second, all students coming to watch home middle school, JV or varsity ballgames have to either ride the bus home or be picked up by the parent and then brought back later to the school for those games. Supervision is not provided for student spectators after school, so students are not allowed to stay after school.
Third, due to medical concerns and health risks for students under age 16 who drink energy drinks such as Monster, Rockstar, Red Bull and NOS, and because of disruptions at school that have occurred by students who have consumed those drinks, energy drinks are not allowed at Ridgeview Middle School during the school day.
Schools will be closed on Monday, September 2nd, due to the Labor Day holiday. Students will return on Tuesday, September 3rd.
Thanks go out to everyone who participated in last year’s Food City School Bucks Program. We are asking everyone to help us again by either going online to https://foodcity.com and log in to your account to link Ridgeview Middle School with your value card, or present your Value Card at the register and ask the cashier to link your card to Ridgeview Middle School bar code 40975. Reminder: everyone has to re-register their Food City Value Card every year.
With sincere thanks,
