Message from the Principal

Dear Ron Russell Families,

There’s so much happening on campus right now! 

Battle of the Books is in full swing with groups meeting weekly, while our Student Equity Group “SEG” comes together monthly to build community and connection. Currently the SEG group is working on a board presentation for February 12th. You should support our students who will be presenting!

Athletics are buzzing too—be sure to come out and cheer on our girls basketball and wrestling teams as they compete this season. 

Our Safety Committee will meet on February 18th from 6-7pm, and we’re grateful for families who continue to support this important work. We will be reviewing behavior data and getting family feedback around the bell schedule survey. We hope you will attend!

Thank you for being such an engaged and supportive school community!

Warmly,

Amber Cowgill
Principal, Ron Russell Middle School
