Good Morning RMS Families,

Just a few friendly reminders for the first week of school at RMS….

• We have received many new registrations this past week, if you did not receive an email from your child’s homeroom teacher last week indicating their homeroom, please contact the school at (506) 856-3449 on Tuesday.
• Please make sure we have your most up to date email, phone number and other contact information.
• Morning supervision begins at 7:45 am.
• First bus arrives at 7:45 am.
• Walkers and Bikers may start to arrive at 7:45 am.
• Kiss & Drop is located off Pine Glen Road, students may be dropped off beginning at 7:45am. Please do not drop off on Cleveland, Devere Road, or the sides streets leading to the school.
• Late arrivals-should a student arrive after 8:10am, they are asked to enter through the main entrance on Devere and sign in at the office.
• The first few weeks of school we tend to see long lines at the Kiss & Drop, please be patient and model kindness, as students and parents are adjusting to new routines and new schools.
