Message from the Principal

Our VOICE is Our POWER!

Dear Ron Russell Families,

Welcome to Ron Russell Middle School and the 2024-2025 school year!  I hope you are having a great summer with your family and friends.  If you are new to Ron Russell this year, welcome to the Timberwolf Pack.  If you are a returning family, welcome back.  We look forward to serving you and making Ron Russell the best school possible.

Our theme this year is Empowering Hearts, Igniting Minds.   At Ron Russell this year, we will build students’ hearts and minds. Our Timberwolves will engage in rigorous coursework, treat everyone respectfully, and build a strong community.  We will respect the whole child and ask them to represent their school and families with honor. We will be united in the pursuit because we know our students are ready to take on these challenges.  

Again this year, we will have a “rolling” start with each grade level having their own orientation day. 8th Grade – Wednesday, September 4; 7th Grade – Thursday, September 5; 6th Grade – Friday, September 6.  On those days, students should not bring any school supplies or their backpack.  They should bring their materials on the first day for all students Monday, September 9th.  

Again, welcome to the 2024 – 2025 school year at Ron Russell!  By working together as a community, we can ensure our students’ success.  Remember, Always, No Matter What . . .  Go Timberwolves!

GO TIMBERWOLVES!
