March Middle School Newsletter
Greetings RC Middle School Community,
Last week, we hosted our first Middle Matters dialogue session. Community collaboration, parent partnerships, and direct communication are essential elements for our school. I look forward to reporting out updates about the middle school as well as hearing comments, suggestions and questions from you. Middle Matters meets on the last Friday of the month at 9:15 in the teacher workroom. If you are unable to attend, a follow up video recording is posted on the RCS website within a week of the meeting. Look for the Middle Matters tab on the Middle School page of our website.
Congratulations to our directors and cast of “Suessical”. I encourage you to go on line and purchase your tickets for the remaining three shows this weekend March 4, 5, and 6 at 7 p.m. You will be amazed at the transformation of our auditorium and the incredible set that has been designed. You will be blessed by this combined middle and high school production. The choreography, vocals, and witty dialogue make for a delightful show for all ages.
On Friday, February 27, 3 middle school music groups performed in the ACSI Music Festival in Denver. Our 7th grade band and our 8th grade band both received the highest rating of Superior. Our 7th grade choir earned an Excellent rating on their performance. Congratulations to our Cougar Choir, Band members, and directors Mrs. McCormick and Mr. Brown.
We are entering our final two weeks of third quarter. Please continue to communicate directly with your child’s teachers if you have any questions or need clarification for any assignments or your child’s progress. Our second semester parent/teacher conferences will be held on Thursday, March 12, from 4-8 p.m. If you are not able to attend on 3/12, please contact your child’s teachers and schedule another time to meet.
I am pleased to announce that our middle school team has recently added a new member. Many of you know Mr. Carson Blair, RCS 5th grade teacher. Mr. Blair will be teaching 6th and 7th grade History next year. Later this spring, we will be interviewing for 2 additional staff positions in Science. Please keep our school in your prayers as the Lord continues to bless our community with families who are applying for their children to attend, and leading Christ centered, inspirational and talented teachers to our school.
As we enter into this season of change, renewal, springtime in Colorado….let’s do our best to renew our commitment to grow closer to our Lord and to be the light that guides others to salvation. I look forward to seeing you at our upcoming events at school.
With gratitude,
Rick Ramirez
