On March 11 at 6:30pm, we'll present The Smart Talk, a program in partnership with the National Parent Teacher Association. Join us to learn how you can create technology rules with your student and empower them to make smarter online decisions.
Our leader for this session is Askar Sattar, a technology and cybersecurity professional with over 25 years of experience in the field. Askar's expertise isn't confined to a professional setting – he's also a parent to an RMS student, and will share share firsthand experience on how to empowering youth to use technology while ensuring it's used safely and responsibly. As part of the event, we will host a special dinner with free RMS Spirit Wear for in-person attendees. And thanks to a National PTA grant, we're offering attendees 18 years and older a chance to win an iPad Mini and Amazon gift cards to help put your new technology rules into practice. (See full giveaway rules below.) RSVP today! The Smart Talk Giveaway Rules:
Save the date for an RMS Beautification Event on Saturday, November 4th (9:00am - 12:00pm). There will be various other projects to improve and enhance the classrooms, facilities, and shared spaces of the school. Past projects include bench sanding & staining, furniture assembly, installation of shelves, light cleaning & sanitizing, repairs, painting, mulching, and gardening.
Please use this form to indicate your interest in volunteering and/or willingness to lend equipment (e.g., electric handheld sanders—there are 28+ benches still to be sanded & stained in the yard). Early accounting of available sanders & other equipment will enable pre-event scoping & supply acquisition. All skill levels welcome, no experience required. Bring a friend, family member, and your energy and enthusiasm for improving everyone's experience at RMS! Please join us for our first general meeting of the year on Monday, Sept. 11 from 6:30-8pm. In addition to reviewing the proposed 2023-24 PTSA budget, we will share info on volunteer opportunities and ways to get involved. Join us in person if you can—light refreshments will be provided. Preview the agenda here.
Take our two-minute survey and share your thoughts on your preferred format for PTSA meetings. Do you prefer to meet in person, over Zoom, a combination of the two? We'd love to hear from you to ensure this year's meetings are productive and convenient. Let us know what you think ahead of our first meeting on September 11, 2023. Blog image credit: Imam Fathoni
