Welcome to RealityU - our annual student finance experience! RealityU brings a bit of "reality" to students through a 75-minute interactive and engaging personal life simulation. RHMS will be holding this year's sessions on Friday, May 2, for the 8th grade class. We are looking for volunteers to help our students learn about "real life." Sessions will be from 9:00-10:30 and 10:30-12:00. We will need help at the various stations students visit. Please look at the sign-ups below and volunteer for one or more times if you're interested. Thank you for your support!

Site Council Meeting - Wednesday, April 9
Next Wednesday we will have our district site council meeting accompanied by the Middle School Site meeting at the HS Auditorium starting at 6:30. I would like to invite all MS parents to attend that meeting for two reasons: 1) Mr. Lambert and Dr. McPherron will talk about District related information and then during the individual school breakouts we have the opportunity to discuss the Parent Engagement Survey that many of you completed before PT Conferences. I would like the opportunity to discuss the survey results pertaining to the MS. 2) I would like to use this meeting to springboard into next school year and get as many of you involved in Site Council as possible. There are no prior qualifications other than an interest in making the MS the best school that it can be. I hope that you will consider attending this meeting. It shouldn't last more than an hour. I hope to see you next Wednesday, April 9 at 6:30.
Due to scheduling conflicts, the RHMS pops concert has been moved from Tuesday, May 13 to Friday, May 9 at 7 pm at the high school. This concert will showcase the talent of 6th-8th grade choir students!
Just a reminder that 7th and 8th graders begin state testing tomorrow. Please make sure your students get plenty of sleep tonight, eat a good breakfast, and bring their charged Chromebooks to school. See you in the morning!
Change of time: RHMS soccer at El Dorado on Monday, March 31 will start at 5 pm.
