Greetings Ruby Young Personalized STEAM Academy Families, 

Thank you so much to everyone in attendance during our block party! We loved seeing so many of our Ruby Young families there. 

This is Teacher Appreciation Week! We are so grateful for the amazing staff at Ruby Young. During this week we celebrate all our staff, as they all play an important role on our campus. Please join me in celebrating them this week. I invite you to adopt a staff member during this week. Please sign-up using this link: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/904054FAFA829A0FD0-49460188-ruby    In the sign-up link, you will find a link to the staff favorites. The list can also be found here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1BZzciCvzm-r6ZRzmCTgoq3aZkDvcqL0oV6iHNjX_4xQ/edit?usp=sharing  You can have your student deliver the gift directly to the teacher or you can deliver it to the front office and I will make sure they receive it. Thank you in advance for blessing our staff members this week! 

This week is also End of the Year MAP testing. Please encourage your student to do their best. We are looking forward to seeing how much our students have grown this school year. Tuesday is Science for 2nd-8th graders, Wednesday is Reading for Kinder-8th graders, and Thursday is Math for Kinder-8th graders. Please make sure your student eats a good breakfast, goes to bed early, and arrives to school by 8:00AM. 

Please review the Awards Ceremony schedule below. We hope to see you there. 

Cell Phones - Please help us by reminding your student that cellphones must be turned off and put up during the school day. We are seeing an increase in students using their cellphones. Please refer to the district cell policy attached. 

Please check the Community Resources for job postings, summer activities, and community events.  

Take care, 

Mrs. Torres

School Counselor
