Message from the Principal

Learning Today. Leading Tomorrow. Always a Timberwolf!
Dear Ron Russell Families,
Track season is officially underway! We’re excited to host our first home meet this Thursday vs. Oliver. We will have a Kona Ice Truck on-site selling shaved ice, and all proceeds will go directly toward supporting our students and funding end-of-year events. I am so excited to watch our students compete and showcase their athletic skills!
Conferences are coming up next week, and we are looking forward to connecting with familes to review Quarter 3 grades and Key Performance Indicator (KPI) reports. This is a great opportunity to celebrate progress, identify areas for growth, and partner together to support your student’s success. It’s also a perfect time to check in with teachers about how to finish the year strong and begin conversations around course forecasting for next year.
I also want to take a moment to recognize the tremendous growth we have seen in our students this year. Across classrooms, students have shown increased perseverance, stronger engagement in their learning, and meaningful academic progress. It has been exciting to watch their confidence build as they take on challenges and continue to develop both academically and socially.
As we head into the final stretch of the school year, we appreciate your support in helping your child stay focused and finish strong academically.
Mark your calendars May 4th – May 8th → State Testing Week!
Thank you for your continued support of our school community!
Go Timberwolves!
Warmly,
Amber Cowgill
Principal, Ron Russell Middle School
