Walk to School Event is tomorrow Friday, May 26. Buses will be dropping off students with wristbands at River Oaks Park entrance. Parents can drop off kids starting at 7:15. Parents and family are invited to walk with the students. We will leave for the school by 7:40
G-A Families,
As you may have heard, today there was an incident in which one of our G-A buses was rear-ended by another, while trying to exit our MS parking lot to drive students home at the end of the day.
Unfortunately, a parent vehicle did not yield for the bus, and our driver had to slam on its brakes to avoid hitting the parent vehicle. That caused the bus behind it to run into the rear end of the other bus.
First responders did arrive. All students were removed from the buses and taken into our gym where students could be checked out for any injuries.
Five students were checked for injuries by first responders, but all went home. Only the bus driver of the first bus will seek medical attention.
We appreciate the middle school staff, our drivers, and our local responders for being so quick and efficient in ensuring everyone's safety prior to taking our children home for the day.
This years Field Day will be on Friday, June 2. Parent volunteers are needed. Please return gold sign up sheets if you can volunteer. Thank you

Hello Ram Fam!
Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to respond to our anonymous Parents & Residents Community Survey. We've received hundreds of completed surveys so far. But, we're not satisfied! The more input we receive, the better the data analysis to help guide our new strategic plan.
If you have not yet completed the survey, please do so. Here's the link to the survey:
