Each month, RCMS celebrates our students that exemplify a specific Cub Character Trait. This month is all about CUB PRIDE. Our students are taking part in SEL lessons this month that help them identify things they are proud of about themselves, their school, and their community. We would love for you to join the conversation with us! Ask your kids what they are proud of... their answers might just surprise you!

Parents and Guardians
If you need to relay a message to your student or notify them of their after school transportation, please contact our office by 2:45PM.
Students are called to the office at the end of the day on afternoon announcements and given the message.
Please know that if the student is aware of their transportation (ex: you want them to be a car rider instead of the bus and you told them that before they came to school) you do not have to notify us. As long as you and your student know what the plan is, all bases are covered!! However, if it gives you peace of mind to call us and have us remind them at the end of the day, we are more than happy to do so!
If you have any questions, please feel free to call the office at 618-395-4372
