The last day of middle school brings so many emotions, much like the first day of kindergarten or dropping a child off at college. These three years are filled with growth and change, and we are grateful for every moment we get to be part of our students’ journey. @RBMS_Official

So grateful for our Collaborative Learning Team (CLT) Leads and their focus on student learning. Their commitment to collaboration, reflection, and continuous improvement makes a real difference in student growth. @RBMS_Official

I answered 84 computer science questions correctly… and still didn’t crack the top 5 in a class of 7th graders.

These kids @RBMS_Official are on another level.
