Dear Ron Russell Families,
Welcome to Quarter 3! I am so excited to kick off the second half of the year! In order to keep the lines of communication open regarding what is going on at Ron Russell Middle School, please read below for information on student grades, reminders to ensure student safety, and dates for a few of our upcoming events.
Student Grades: Your child’s Quarter 2 Report Card will be arriving in the mail during the first week of February. You can view your student’s grades, test scores, assignment score, and attendance on ParentVUE. If you are not already registered to use ParentVUE, stop by or call the office and we would be happy to get you set up.
As you review your student’s performance for the first half of the academic year, speak with your student and ask the following questions: Are you satisfied with your academic performance? Did you complete all the work that was assigned to you such as classwork and homework? Have you sought assistance from a classmate, parent, or teacher? Have you availed yourself of the help offered by your teachers such as tutorial, opportunities to make up work, and opportunities to retake tests? If you are not satisfied, what do you plan to do differently this semester?
Spring Parent-Teacher Conferences February 27-28: Also accompanying the Report Card is your Spring Conference Reservation Form. Please complete and send back with your child no later than Feb. 11; they will receive a reward for turning it in. We will be serving snacks, raffling prizes, and giving away books at conferences too!
Positive Behavior Intervention Support (PBIS): We want to provide students with a safe environment that allows them to concentrate on learning. This month’s PBIS focus is Responsibility. We will be teaching a school-wide extended Advisory lesson on how to contribute to non-violent solutions when there is conflict and how to to be an upstander rather than a bystander. Please have a conversation with your student about the harmful effects of being a bystander. Furthermore, talk with them about how they could safely help a situation by reporting it to an adult.
Student Safety: SafeOregon is a way for students and parents to use email, text, call, or Safeoregon.com to report a serious danger or threat to a student or the school. Do not use this if the incident has already been reported to the school or in lieu of contacting the school first during school hours.
Tips can be submitted 24/7/365 through the www.SafeOregon.com web portal, by e-mail to tip@safeoregon.com, through the SafeOregon mobile application (available for android or iOS device), or by calling/texting 844-472-3367. Please give enough information such as names and locations to allow for follow-up. Tips are promptly analyzed for the most appropriate follow up and urgency. This may be to school officials, law enforcement, community mental health programs, or other appropriate local or state agencies.
Grades 6, 7, & 8 Valentine’s Day Dance on February 15: Tickets will soon be on sale for $5 in The Commons before school. Please call the office if you need assistance. The dance is from 3:15-4:30PM and students will need a ride home.
