RAMS Safe and Supportive Lessons - Pride MonthRAMS Safe & Supportive School: Pride Month As you are aware, we are working incredibly hard this year to educate our, students, around what it means to be a safe and supportive school. In doing so, our Peer Leadership, GSA Clubs have been working hard at providing information, activities, lessons, and visibility of inclusivity each day. June is LGBTQ Pride Month, celebrated in classrooms and communities around the world. It's a great time to include LGBTQ themes and history into our community learning and helping LGBTQ students feel safer and more affirmed. In doing this we feel that all of our students will benefit from a better understanding of history and the groups within our community. What are we doing to demonstrate support?

REMINDER: Cell Phone UseWe wanted to give families notice that following the break we are going to be following our cell phone policy per the handbook with all students. Student’s cell phones should be kept in their lockers during the school day. If a student has their phone during the school day, it will be confiscated and a parent/guardian will need to pick it up. It is incredibly important that students are focused and not accessing their phones during the day.
Should you need to get a hold of your child during the day, please contact our main office and we can get them your message. We appreciate your support and conversation reminders with your student’s about this.
