Dear Parents and Students:

Welcome Back! I hope you are as excited for the new school year to begin as I am! As we begin another school year, I want to share my appreciation to all the parents for supporting our students in their education. Please excuse our dust as we are still in the middle of the construction!

Construction update: Our new main office is almost completed. It is located in the 100 building (the building closest to Caswell Ave. Parents and visitors can access the building and main office through the west entrance facing Wendell Street. There will be three visitor parking spaces right in front of the 100 building to have closer access to the front office. The new front entrance should be completed in the next few months.

Registration: Registration will be held in the cafeteria. Parents and students should use the gym entrance by the electronic RSMS reader board to get to the cafeteria.
