What's New at RAMS!

RAMS Therapy Dog Announcement & Opt Out

We are very excited to announce that we will have regular visits from therapy dogs available to ALL students at the beginning of the new year. During their visits, the therapy dogs will be available for individual kids and small groups who may need a social or calming visit as recommended by our school counselors or classroom teachers. .

 

We acknowledge that all students may not want to visit with a therapy dog, and are providing you the opportunity to opt your child out of any visits either individually or when they visit the whole class.
