• Parents, as the end of the first quarter is closing in, please take a look at Parentvue to review your student's grades and progress. We're noticing that many of our young scholars are not completing and/or turning in work. Please remind them that, even though we are virtual, school work is "for real" and for a grade. Teachers will be updating grades weekly so that you and your student can stay abreast of academic progress.

• The Virtual Specialty Center Fair will be held October 26 at 6:30pm. The link for the live session will be available on the CCPS Specialty Center website. Click here for all important event dates/deadlines. Specific information regarding Maggie Walker & Appomattox Governor's Schools & CodeRVA can be found on their sites and is also linked through the CCPS Specialty Center website.

• • In addition to this opportunity, RMS school counselors will host a virtual Q & A on October 21 at 5pm to answer questions about the application process specific to Robious Middle School. The google meet information is linked in here and also available on our Raider Report site and our Canvas Page for students.

• Interested in joining Drama Club? Our next virtual meeting will be Wednesday, October 21st from 2:30 until 3:45. Note that Drama Club meets AFTER school so we have enough time to rehearse and perform each time we meet. We meet the third Wednesday of each month. Use this link to join: http://bit.ly/RMSDrama Mrs. DiFazio will use the information students add through the link to add them to the Drama Club Canvas Course where they will find the meeting join code. Come make a scene!
