PTSA Fundraising and Support Update
PTSA Fundraising and Support Update
Thank You for Supporting Our School Community!
We are truly grateful to all the parents, teachers, staff and students who have joined the PTSA and taken part in our fundraising events throughout this school year. Your enthusiasm and commitment help build a stronger, more vibrant school community where our children can thrive.
Staying Connected
To keep everyone in the loop, we’ll be sharing regular updates on our fundraising achievements and how we plan to use these resources in our weekly newsletter. This way, you’ll always know how your incredible support is making a direct impact on our students and classrooms.
Celebrating Fundraising Success
Our most recent read-a-thon fundraiser, held last fall, was a fantastic achievement! Together, we raised about $2,500, which will go directly towards enhancing literacy for our children. We’re excited to be working hand-in-hand with teachers right now to order new book sets for classrooms—giving our students even more reasons to fall in love with reading.
Making a Difference Every Day
Thanks to your contributions, the PTSA was able to purchase a brand new laminator for the school, making it easier for teachers to create engaging materials and displays that support your child’s learning experience.
Bringing Learning to Life
In addition to supplies, PTSA funds help make school assemblies possible in both the fall and spring. This year, students enjoyed Mad Science and will soon participate in Peter and the Wolf—memorable experiences that spark curiosity and joy in learning.
Building for the Future
Looking ahead, we are excited to work with the school and district on long-term projects, such as improving the playground with fresh asphalt. Our goal is to create an even safer and more enjoyable space for your children to play, grow, and connect with friends.

STUDENTS LEAVING EARLY
STUDENTS LEAVING EARLY
Due to the traffic congestion and the busyness of the end of each day, students needing to be picked up from school early, need to be checked out from the front office before 2:00pm (at least 30 minutes prior to dismissal). Please plan accordingly when your student needs to leave school early for appointments.
ARRIVAL & DISMISSAL - Efficiently & Safely
ARRIVAL & DISMISSAL - Efficiently & Safely
Please take a moment to review the protocols below to ensure that we keep all students safe and maintain maximum efficiency.
It is no secret that our parking lot can be a challenge during drop off and pick up times. As we share the campus with our sister school, Mountain Valley Academy, we have strategically timed our RCMS and MVA arrival and dismissal times in order to minimize the traffic as much as possible. Please show extra grace and courtesy during the busiest times in the parking lot and follow these protocols:
The middle row in the parking lot is one way (southbound) only. If you pass through the middle parking row, please exit at the south into the inside lane for flowing traffic.
The inside lane is for flowing traffic only - students may not enter or exit cars from the inside lane, only the outside lane (curbside).
If using the pick up lane, you may only pick up at the curb in one of the 4 marked spaces. There is no loading unless your are in one of these 4 spaces.
Handicapped spaces are for vehicles with handicapped placards only. Please do not idle or park in these spaces unless you have a valid handicapped placard on display.
The school-side curb is for IMMEDIATE loading and unloading ONLY.
Please remain inside your vehicle when picking up at the curb. If your child is not yet able to get in the car and/or buckled on their own, you need to park and then walk up to meet your child.
If your student is not in front of the school ready and waiting for pick up, please park in an available parking space to wait for their arrival.
Please abide by all traffic laws. Do not enter the parking lot using the exit lane, and do not turn left when exiting the parking lot.
Pedestrians, please use the blue crosswalk in the parking lot to enter and exit campus. Do not walk in-between cars in the pick up line. This is not only dangerous for you and drivers, this also slows down the flow of traffic.
If a friend or family member is picking up your student, please make sure they are aware of and follow the parking lot protocols.
Please review the complete Ramona Community Campus Parking Lot Protocols HERE
RCMS Bullying Prevention and Reporting
RCMS Bullying Prevention and Reporting
We encourage our students to be up-standers and if they "See Something, Say Something" to reduce bullying on our campus. We investigate all instances of bullying that are reported to our school site. If there are any concerns please email our counselor, Ms. Bishop or Principal, Mrs. Sawada, and/or complete the bullying reporting form: Online Bullying Reporting Form (If you are a parent assisting your child with completing the form, you must be signed in to their student email.)
