Good
afternoon RMS Families,



 

I am
sending this information for your planning purposes. We will be having a
staggered start for all RMS students the week of Sept. 8-11, 2020. Please read
below carefully to ensure your child/ren arrive at school on the right day/time
the first week back. 

 

THE
FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL:

 

A
staggered entry for each grade level is planned for the first week of school.

 

Drop off
time is 8:30am at the Main Entrance traffic circle. Walkers should arrive no
earlier than 9am. Buses will arrive between 8:35-9:15am.

 

Tuesday,
September 8 – all grade 8 students (English and FI)

 

Wednesday,
September 9 – all grade 7 students (English and FI)

 

Thursday,
September 10 – all grade 6 students (English and FI)

 

Friday,
September 11 - ALL RMS students

 

All
students in grades 6, 7, and 8 will attend school on Friday, September 11. This scheduled
orientation day allows teachers to spend time reviewing our school operational
plan with students. In addition, students will spend time getting to know the
students in their class bubble, meet their other subject teachers, and practice
movement around the building with the new procedures and expectations. All students must
have a clean mask to wear daily at school.

 

On the
first day of school, students may enter the building through the Main Entrance
(drop off students/walkers), Grade 6, 7, and all FI (bus students) will
enter through the Breezeway door and Grade 8 EP (bus students) will enter
through the Healthy Living door. Students will consult the posted class lists
in these three areas to determine their homeroom class location. Staff will be
there to direct students to their homeroom.  

 

Please have your
afterschool, travel arrangements made in advance, and ensure your child knows
what bus to take home afterschool if needed (357-4256 Oromocto Education Centre
- Transportation).

 

Please
note new school hours for 2020-2021:

 

School
Start time: 9:20am  

 

Buses
will arrive from 8:35am-9:15am. 

 

Walking
students should not arrive at school prior to 9:00am.

 

Students
may be dropped off no earlier than 8:30am. The school is locked and
there is no supervision for students until this time.

Walkers
will be dismissed at 3:40pm daily to reduce traffic in the hallways, followed
by students being picked up. We will begin calling buses as they arrive by
number over the intercom. All buses are scheduled to depart RMS by

We
ask for your cooperation is being prompt for pick up and respecting the hours

We look
forward to seeing you in the fall.

 

Kind
regards,

 

RMS Staff
