8/14/25 - 6th grade

Welcome to Rippowam Middle School!

We are thrilled to welcome your child to Rippowam Middle School and the start of an exciting new chapter. Sixth grade is full of discovery, growth, and new opportunities—and we are on this journey together, committed to supporting your child every step of the way.

6th Grade Student Orientation – Tuesday, August 26th

All incoming 6th grade students are invited to join us for in-person orientation on Tuesday, August 26th from 7:30 am – 9:30 am. This special morning is for students only, so parents/guardians will not attend. Upon arrival—whether by bus, walking, or drop-off—students should head directly to the Auditorium. Our staff will be stationed at entrances to greet Raptors and help them navigate the building.

During orientation, your child will meet their teachers, learn about their schedule and key school information, and take part in community-building activities to help them feel connected and confident.

Buses will be running for orientation. If your child will be a bus rider, route information will be posted to the Parent Portal on Thursday, August 22nd.

We can’t wait to meet our newest Raptors and help them begin their middle school adventure!

Best,

Kristina Colmenares

Principal, Rippowam Middle School
