Happy New Year! I hope that all of our Rugby families had a restful break. The coming months are vitally important to your student’s success, so please encourage them and communicate with their teachers in order to keep moving forward.

8th Grade Parents: Mountains to Sea Scholarship applications are due January 12, 2018. Please contact the your student’s teachers or Mrs. Futch with any questions.

2nd Quarter Benchmarks are right around the corner, with Rugby students taking these assessments 1/16/18-1/24/18. Please help your student understand that these assessments are designed and used to measure current understanding, so teachers can adjust their teaching accordingly.
