Good Morning RMS Families,

As part of our NELMS Whole School Assessment process, we are asking parents and guardians to take a few minutes to complete a survey about your experiences and perspectives on Rochester Middle School.

Your feedback is an important part of this process. As you read each statement, please think about your own experiences, what you have observed, and your overall perception of our school. You may not have direct knowledge of every area, and that is okay. Simply select the response that best reflects what you know or believe to be true.

There are no right or wrong answers. We value your honest feedback and appreciate your willingness to share your perspective as a member of the RMS community.

Please complete the survey by Friday, November 20th.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and for being an important part of our school community!

Good Afternoon RMS Families,

I wanted to take a moment to share how proud I was of our students at this week’s Veterans Day Assembly. Every student represented Rochester Middle School beautifully and showed our veterans the respect, kindness, and appreciation they deserve.

Our students were attentive, respectful, and truly wonderful throughout the assembly. It was a meaningful opportunity to honor those who have served our country, and our Timberwolves made us proud!

Thank you for continuing to support and encourage our students to be kind, respectful, and responsible members of our community.

Have a wonderful evening!

A reminder that our annual Veterans Day Celebration Assembly is next week! The event is open to any local veterans interested in joining us. We know family members would like to come see their students perform in the band or chorus, and there will be many more opportunities for that later in the year. This event is for veterans and their caregivers only. We hope to see you there!

Dear RMS Families,

This morning, we held grade-level assemblies to review our schoolwide expectations and talk about the importance of creating a positive school community. The RMS community is working hard to foster an environment where all students feel welcomed, supported, and included while demonstrating kindness, safety, responsibility, and respect toward one another.

Throughout the month of November, we will be rolling out a special Kindness Initiative to encourage students to make kindness part of their everyday actions. We want our students to understand that even the smallest acts of kindness can make a big difference. Whether it is including someone, offering a helping hand, using encouraging words, or simply being a good friend, each action helps make RMS a place where everyone belongs.

We are excited to see our Timberwolves embrace this initiative and work together to spread kindness throughout our school!

Thank you for your continued support in helping us build a strong, positive RMS community.

Good Afternoon, RMS Families! 🐺

This is a friendly reminder that RMS Conferences will take place on Tuesday, November 3rd!

Our teams have sent out sign-up information, and we encourage all families to sign up for a time to connect with their student’s advisory teacher.

This year, we are trying something a little different! These conferences are an opportunity to review student goal-setting sheets, celebrate progress, and discuss how your child has been doing since the start of the school year. Our goal is to strengthen the partnership between home and school so we can continue supporting every Timberwolf’s success.

We look forward to connecting with you! If you have any questions or need additional information, please reach out to us.

Thank you for being part of our RMS community. Together, we are unstoppable! 🐺
