Oehlert Alert 09/11/23
Hi Everyone,
We have a saying in schools that sometimes the short weeks can feel the longest. This means that sometimes the entire week's worth of stuff still happens, just across a shorter time frame. As a parent of three school aged kiddos myself, I know that last week was disjointed for them too.
Tuesday Professional Learning
I am happy to report that staff spent the day on Tuesday of last week really digging into data and thinking about how we can best support our students. We introduced a writing template that was developed by our Language Arts teachers and will be used across content areas to simplify writing for our students.
Here's a few pictures of our teachers and staff as students from our time together last week.
Fundraiser
Please keep an eye out for an email from me later this week on our school wide fundraiser. It's pretty painless and is a great way for the school to get extra funding for things we need.
Spirit Week
Spirit Week for the Fall will be September 18-22 and we have dress up days scheduled.
Monday 9/18 - Crazy Hair Day
Tuesday 9/19 - Dress Like a Teacher Day
Wednesday 9/20 - RAM Pride - 6th wear purple, 7th wear white, 8th wear black
Thursday 9/21 - Decades Day - 6th 2000s, 7th 1990s, 8th 1980s
Friday 9/22 - Fall Carnival & Carnival Dress Up Day
Girls Basketball
Girls basketball will start up in late October. If your student is interested, start scheduling that physical (if yours will expire during the season or you do not have one). More details to come soon.
School Accountability Committee
Our first SAC meeting of the year will be in the Library at SRMS on Tuesday September 12 at 5:30 pm. We will discuss ways that we can all partner to better serve our students.
Parent Teacher Conferences
Save the date: Parent Teacher Conferences will be held at SRMS on October 4 and 5 from 4:30 - 7:30 pm each night.
As always, please reach out with any questions or concerns and thanks for sharing your children with us.
