Good afternoon, Royal Families! This is Mrs. Murphy, Principal of RRMS. Please make sure to read and carefully look over this week’s Royal Update – Knight News for 9/19-9/23, which has been emailed to all families and is also located on the RRMS Website and Social Media accounts.
We are asking families to please discuss the importance of students keeping their hands, feet and other objects to themselves. We are seeing a rise in “hands on” behavior with students such as but not limited to “slap boxing,” jumping on each other’s shoulders, tripping, backpack pulling, etc. This type of behavior or “horseplay” is not appropriate or accepted behaviors at RRMS as it negatively affects our safe learning environment. Students who continue to participate in these inappropriate behaviors will be given a disciplinary consequence and law enforcement may be involved. I’m confident with the partnership between our families and the school staff and education of our students, we can stop these disruptive behaviors.
We will celebrate Start with Hello week this week with dress up days, acts of kindness, and a new student social.
Last week, we successfully launched the RRMS STEP IT UP SCHOOL-WIDE DONATION DRIVE which runs from 9/14-9/27! The funds raised will benefit all our students and staff in the way of Student and Teacher Resources, Student and Staff Recognition, and Technology. There is still time to complete the GOLDEN TICKET assignment which is registering at this link: https://app.pop4kids.org/riverridgems34654 and inputting 10 or more email addresses. All students who complete the Golden Ticket assignment will receive fun PRIZES and it does not require any money to register. We will also have some fun drawings for a $250 Amazon Gift Card and four Mini Party Fridges stuffed with CASH! Our goal is to raise $25, 000 and we are so close in only 4 days raising $21,000… we are so grateful to all who have supported our school!
Finally, those students who earn $50 will be able to participate in the RRMS Day of Awesomeness on October 11th. Check out the video of all of the fun to come: https://youtu.be/ecdJlD1OuL4.

We want to highly encourage you to READ CAREFULLY all of the items in the Parent Bill of Rights Consent. During conversations, we are realizing a number of parents were not fully aware of what they were signing when they did so. While parents have full rights to opt out/in of all items – and we realize how many words they have used – it is important to make informed decisions.
One example is the MEDIA RELEASE. Several parents opted out without realizing the last line of a lengthy page listed the fact that any student opting out will not be recognized if they play sports, or achieve any academic success, and will not be in the yearbook, among other restrictions. Again – if this opt out was done fully informed we absolutely respect that, but when the full details have been pointed out parents did reconsider.
Leaving the consent form blank is a NO for CLINIC SERVICES. If you would like your student to utilize the clinic if they are sick, or get hurt please consent to yes to illness care treatment and RN assessment. If you mark NO or DON’T FILL OUT THE FORMS your child can’t be seen in the clinic. Your child will be asked to call you to inform you of the situation. If you do not have internet access at home or a computer, you may come to the school to fill out the consent forms online.
If you have questions about ANY item please do not hesitate to reach out to our administration so that we can clarify the options as much as possible as it is new procedure for everyone.
On Tuesday, October 7th, Health Heroes will be on campus administering Flu Vaccines. If you would like your student to receive a Flu Vaccine, please fill out the consent attached and return it to the clinic or to ljanssen@pasco.k12.fl.us. They were also send out in 1st period classes.
