Materials Still Needed
 

Thanks to a very generous grant from the Friends of Hanover/Norwich schools we are in the process of supplementing our woodworking tool supply.  Lumber, however, remains difficult to come by.  We are searching for “clean” (no nails please) kiln or air dried hardwood.  We can use almost anything.  Check out the decorative piece his classes are creating for RMS, using a combination of Math, design, and woodworking skills.  (look at the back of the picture)

 

Yearbook Photos

Please submit unmasked photos of your students (and baby pictures of the 8th graders) to Kate Bates before May 1st. 

 

Volunteer News

Students - Need a tutor?  Would your student benefit from on-line tutoring from your peers?  

 

Tutoring - Can you help?  Is your student interested in tutoring virtually? I will match all peer-tutoring requests individually and will connect them as soon as there is a suitable match.

If the answer is yes to either of the above, please contact me. Please be advised that all tutoring will be remote at this time, and that all minors, either their parent or legal guardian, are required to complete the Parent Consent Form for on-line tutoring. 

 

Thank you

RMS CAFE

Please remind students that due to COVID restrictions they are not allowed to serve themselves food in the Cafe.  Lately student touching of food has increased our spoilage (we cannot serve food if it has been touched by a student).  The cafe is amazing, but runs on a small margin, and waste is a real problem.  Going forward, students who touch food in line will be required to buy that food item...Please, let’s do our part to help Chef Austin and the awesome crew.
 

Price List - April Menu is here.

If you have any questions, please contact Austin Jacobs
 

RMS does offer a lunch program for families who may need assistance or special needs.  Please contact Robin Morley-Ploof in the office for more information.

 

 

 

Prescription Medications

Does your child need to take a prescription medication during school hours? Students must keep all prescription medications in the health office and have a signed medication form as well. The medication form and additional information can be found here: Health Office Website
