Principal

Thank you to students, staff and students who took part in our annual Walk A Thon last week.    A very special thank you to our PTSA volunteers and Christi McEldowney for her tireless work in our cafeteria and main foyer collecting, motivating and making it all happen.  PTSA volunteers worked for weeks to do this incredible fundraiser.  To date, the RLMS Walk A Thon raised over $30,000 at the time of writing this letter to support student activities, special events and school related items this year.  We are looking to find ways to directly impact students in the classroom and special events with these funds! 

I frequently hear from parents “my child tells me very little about their day”. In an effort to support parents in school conversations, we are continuing a monthly Curriculum Corner link in the PTSA Blast, Twitter (@RLMSBulldogs) and on the RLMS webpage under the “Parent Link”.

I am looking forward to the upcoming year at Roger Ludlowe Middle School and I anticipate some exciting opportunities for all of our students.

I would like to thank our amazing PTSA, RLMS staff members, retirees, students and guest that were able to attend the RLMS celebration on May 29th.

I wanted to thank all of you for supporting my dress code memo. I appreciate your efforts in making sure that our students are wearing appropriate attire to school.

We take pride in all RLMS students and believe that your dress reflects the way you feel about yourself and the quality of the school. At no time should clothing detract from a student’s attention to the academic process.

I’d like to give a sincere thanks to the RLMS PTSA for their nomination of me to be the 2019 PTA Middle School Principal of the year. While I’m not big on the “spotlight”, I’m honored to represent RLMS and the students, staff and parents of our amazing school.

I am hoping that many of you were able to attend our 6th , 7 th and 8th grade concerts this past week. Our orchestra, band, chorus and chamber orchestra put on an amazing show.

We would like to invite you to attend a meeting regarding our Chromebook distribution. The meeting will be held on Thursday, September 27th at 6:15 pm in the RLMS auditorium. This informational meeting is being held prior to our Open House Night.

As you know, grades 6-12 are moving to a cumulative grading process. Students will be scored on all assessments and each will contribute to an ongoing, cumulative grade in-progress throughout the school year.

This year’s Open House is planned for Thursday evening, September 27, 2018, from 7:00 to approximately 9:00 p.m. Open House will be a full-school event, and to ensure we begin on time, we ask that you try to arrive no later than 6:45 p.m. since parking will be at a premium. Please note that this is a parent only event.

All RLMS families received our Parent Info Packet this summer via Infinite Campus messenger. I realize that all of this information can be very overwhelming. I am going to attempt to break down some of the “Frequently Asked Questions” as the year begins.

Welcome to RLMS Grade 6 Students and Parents. I wanted to drop you a note to remind you that we will be hosting our 6th grade orientation at RLMS on Wednesday, August 29, 2018. Students should be brought to the main entrance of RLMS at 9:00 am.

Please mark your calendar that opening day for all students is Thursday, August 30, 2018. Orientation will be held for grade 6 students on Wednesday, August 29th from 9am-11am. Busing is not provided on the 29th. Parents/guardians should park in the main parking lot and escort your child to the front door.
