Changes to Season 2 Sports
| Due to the large number of students and to provide a safe and fun experience for students, RMS will shift and create competitions within the school. Students will not be traveling to other schools in the district. RMS will however create teams and have them compete here at Redmond against other Redmond teams. The other change is RMS will be dividing up the athletes into two groupings (Red and Black). Please see the RMS Athletics website for a full schedule to have a clear picture of when your student will have athletics each week. |
As a reminder, the Choice School application process begins on Monday, November 1 and closes on Friday, December 3 for incoming high schoolers. Here is the most up-to-date copy of the flyer (Spanish). Included is information regarding each school choice.
