We are excited to see our students' faces when they see Mrs. Tankersley in our halls this year! Mrs. Tankersley is new to RMS this year, but she is not new to our district! She previously taught at Oakland Heights. We are excited that she decided to join our 6th grade ELA Team this year!

You may recognize our new RMS PE/Health teacher! Coach Troy Norton will be joining us at RMS this year in our PE/Health department.

We were so excited to Allison visited our students to share her second children’s book "The Fairest Day of All", promote literacy, and talk about the excitement of the Arkansas State Fair. Our students loved hearing her read aloud and learning more about the importance of reading, creativity, and following your goals. Thank you, Allison, for taking the time to invest in our students and encourage a love of literacy in such a fun and meaningful way!

What a fun way to celebrate our students’ hard work during ATLAS testing! Today’s Teacher vs. Student Basketball Game was full of energy, laughter, school spirit, and plenty of friendly competition. 🏀 Our students and staff worked incredibly hard throughout testing season, and it was amazing to see everyone come together to celebrate their efforts. Thank you to our staff and students for making today such a memorable event! Now the big question is… who really won?

Our students had an amazing time celebrating their hard work during ATLAS testing with a trip to Urban Air! We are so proud of the effort, determination, and positive attitudes they showed throughout testing season. This reward day was well deserved, and it was so much fun watching our students laugh, play, and enjoy time together outside the classroom. Thank you to everyone who helped make this special experience possible for our students! 🎉

Hey RMS! We have several unclaimed glasses. Please stop by the office and get them.
