A Message from Our Principal
To All of Our Rams Families,

The beginning of June is upon us, which means the school year is almost at its end, and the summer is very close. Before we close out the school year, I want to thank you all for your participation in the many ‘virtual’ school-wide events that we’ve had such as our Spirit Days and Hero Appreciation Week, which we just closed out. The first week of June, our Physical Education Teachers have planned a Virtual Field Week, creating some fun and easy activities that you can do with your family, using household items. The link to this information is in this newsletter, will be posted on our Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and on the Distance Learning Plans. 
For our 8th Grade families, we are still putting together our Virtual Graduation. The update letter from May 22nd is attached to this newsletter for your reference. If your child still has yet to email his/her audio file and personal statement (they may do both), please have them email these to Mr. Waxman ( dwaxman@rockboro.org ) right away so we can get them in the video. Please refer to the attached memo for details. 
Thanks again for another great week. Have a nice weekend and continue to practice those social distancing measures so that we, as a community, state and nation can recover safely and securely. 

Stay safe and be well. Thank you for your partnership,

David Waxman
