How can I keep up-tp-date on my child's progress?
There are several ways to keep informed!
1. Ask you child how he is doing on a regular basis.
2. Check your child's graded papers. (In math and Language Arts,
those papers should be in their repsective binders. In science and social
studies classes, students could use a binder or folder to keep papers.) No
papers should be thrown out until the end of each grading period.
3. Check parent portal to find an update of assignments and how your child scored.
4. Report cards go home with all students at the end of each grading
period.
5. Send a note with your child, call the school, or e-mail the
teacher to get an update at any time.
What is the 8th grade late work policy?
In 8th grade, a student is expected to have his/her homewrok done on
time, and with him /her when it is due.
If a daily assignment is not turned in on time, points will be deducted.
If the assignment in question is a long-term project, as determined by
the teacher, 10% will be taken off the grade for every day that it is
late - again, by the end of the unit.

What is the absent work policy for RMS?
When a student has missed two consecutive days as an excused absence, a
request can be made for work to be sent home for the school days missed.
For each day of an excused absence, the student is allowed one make-up day.
So, if a student had three excused absent days, he/she would have three days
to make-up all absent work for those days.
If a student is gone for an extended period of time (week +) a timeline is
at
the teacher's discression for the work missed.
If a request is made for homework prior to days known days being missed, the
student is to turn in all work given to him/her upon on the first day of
returning to school.
Are students allowed to chew gum in school?
Gum chewing is not allowed at RMS. Students caught chewing gum will receive
a demerit.
