We are feeling like the pot of gold right now and are so excited for the start of the year. We know the first day brings jitters. We are ready to help and are going to have the best year ever. Let's Go Rockets!

Rocket Virtual families, see the images attached regarding a soft start/acclimation process to the 2020-2021 school year.
Face To Face Schedule are open in Powerschool! Also, please check your e-mail for some answers to common scheduling questions. Mrs. Mitchelson (mitchelj@reeths-puffer.org) can answer specific questions or address errors. We honored elective selections to build our schedule and can't make changes at this time. There were many puzzle pieces to put together with many new obstacles this year so some things look a little different.
Often one of the first things that happens when students and parents see their schedule is to post to social media and start discussing courses and staff. Please remember that each student's experience in a class in unique (successes and challenges), each student has different learning preferences, and one of the best gifts we can give our students is an open mind. We are all working hard to make this the best year ever.
If you selected Rocket Virtual there is an orientation on September 3rd from 4-4:45 (https://edmentum.zoom.us/j/95103134483)
You and your student will receive an e-mail tomorrow outlining what to expect on the first day, but the most important point we want to convey is not in the details. We want you to know we are here to help and have carefully designed our first days together. We want you to know that we care about your students, we know there are first day nerves (we have them too), we know they didn’t get a tour like normal, we know masks are weird, and WE ARE GOING TO BE HERE TO HELP.
Rocjet Virtual Students- Be sure to check your email for information about an orientation. Mr. Hernandez sent the email last Friday.
We are getting closer. THANK YOU! Just under 60% of RPMS families have completed their on-line registration. The deadline is tomorrow at midnight. If you need help, please call or e-mail and we can assist you in the process. Go Rockets!
Thank you to all that have completed on-line registration including making a choice for Face to Face or Rocket Virtual. We are a little over 40% complete. Please complete before Wednesday, August 26th at 11:59 p.m. Contact our office 744-4721 or e-mail pittss@reeths-puffer.org if you need help with your parents portal account.
The burning question of the day...what school supplies will be needed? We have a list of Face to Face SUGGESTED supplies linked below. Remember, students will take two core and an elective each semester. Detailed schedules will be available September 2nd (after we balance based on decisions for Face to Face and Virtual), but we know all 7th graders will have Math, Science, and an elective and all 8th will start with ELA, Social Studies, and an elective. If you elected Rocket Virtual, more details about supplies will be provided at a later time, but I would prepare for many of the basics such as paper, pencils, organizing folders, and colored pencils.
