City of Redmond Closed Through 2020 | Due to the ongoing uncertainty and Governor Inslee’s indefinite pause of the state’s phased approach to reopening, City of Redmond facilities will remain closed through the end of 2020. Redmond Police, Fire and other critical City services are fully operational. City staff are teleworking while facilities are closed. For more information, please visit the City of Redmond COVID-19 website at http://redmond.gov/COVID-19. | Second Laptop Roll-In, August 6 | RMS will be having a specially scheduled date to return all materials that are still outstanding such as laptops, power cords, textbooks, class novels and library books. Laptops need to be returned so that they can be re-imaged, otherwise they will not function in the new year. If you were an 8th grader, not returning your laptop may prevent you from receiving a new one at the high school. If you have found a stylus over the summer, please return it and the assessed fine can be deleted. A separate report listing outstanding materials will be emailed to you.
RMS Materials Return: Thursday, August 6, 7:30 AM - 12:00 PM- Drive-thru only
- Please wear a mask or other necessary PPE
- Be ready to hand over devices from your car

RMS PTSA is looking forward to receiving lots of creative entries!As we prepare for the new school year, one thing is certain. We need to add face masks to our usual Back-to-School kit! We will not have in-person classes right away but when we do, we'll certainly need those masks. So why not use a bit of positivity and creativity to design a mask you would be proud to wear? The winning design will be used on the “official” 2020-21 RMS masks (think RMS Grizzlies T-shirt) for sale. The proceeds will help supplement hygiene kits to be distributed to RMS families in need.
Questions? Email maskcontest@rmsptsa.org for answers! | Volunteers Needed for Spelling Bee | RMS had a successful spelling bee last year with strong participation and we're looking to repeat that success this year. With the ongoing COVID-19 situation, it is possible we will do this online! Online spelling bees have become prevalent in the U.S. this year - there are four online-only spelling bees scheduled between now and September!
Whether we do a bee in person or online, we are looking for volunteers to spread the word, communicate with parents, help conduct the preliminaries and finals (track participant scores, write certificates, etc.) Especially consider volunteering and helping make the school bee a success if your child is interested in spelling bees! Please reach out to spellingbee@rmsptsa.org if you're interested! | The Reflections Program is a National PTA arts competition. Summer break is a great time for students to think about how to present their creations. The theme for the 2020-2021 PTA Reflections Program year is "I Matter Because..." Students may submit completed works of art in one or all available arts categories. See the WaState PTA Reflections website for details. Congratulations to Grizzlies that competed at the state level last school year!
The Reflections Program needs you as Chairperson! The Chairperson promotes the event, collects students' submissions, recruits judges to determine which works of art will pass to the Council level, organizes an event to display artwork, & submits winners to PTSA Council. PTSA offers training and resources available to guide you every step of the way. For more info, contact volunteers@rmsptsa.org. | President Position for 2020-2021 Still Open | Do you want to make a big impact at RMS? Do you want to give input on how PTSA funds are allocated?
