RMS Students - This week, on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, we will be taking the IAR ELA test. Remember to get a good night's sleep before each test day and eat a healthy breakfast to fuel your mind. Don't forget to bring your charged Chromebook, earbuds, and a book to read. Try to arrive early, stay positive, and follow all test instructions carefully. Use your time wisely and review your answers before submitting the test. Good luck, and do your best! #BePurple

The Mobile Museum of Tolerance will be making a stop at RMS on March 3rd-4th and then to Dixon High School on March 5th-7th. RMS students will visit this mobile museum during their Language Arts classes. This workshop explores civil rights using historic and contemporary lenses. The MMOT educator will begin the lesson with a facilitated dialogue to help students explore the concepts of identity and commonality before launching into a short documentary featuring American civil rights heroes and their struggle for equality during the Civil 1950’s and 1960’s Civil Rights Movement. Students will reflect on other fights for civil rights throughout US history. Major topics of discussion include discrimination, racism, segregation, equality, nonviolent protest, stereotypes, and dehumanization.
