Families

You play an important role in your child's education. Regularly checking their grades on Skyward Family Access and monitoring their daily list of assignments can help reinforce structure to your student's academic program. Your child's teachers are available to provide information about your child's learning progress. 

A consistent academic structure at home can also aid your student's academic success. Dedicated time to complete assignments and studying can help your child maintain focus on their school work. This also allows you to assist them with assignments if needed or see the areas they need help with from their teachers. Students can get frustrated with difficult assignments. Providing support and help from teachers' online resources can help ease their frustrations. If you need additional help or family support, please reach out to our office, counseling or social workers. We're all here to support your student's success.

UPDATE: December 2025
As we start the second trimester of the school year, I would like to share some updates regarding our policy to keep student iPads at school. Being that this is a new policy for us, we have learned some things and have had to monitor and adjust throughout the first trimester to establish some concrete protocols for how we will respond in certain situations- specifically around if/when we will allow a student to bring home an iPad. This information is outlined below as well as answers to some other common questions we have gotten this trimester. 
 
If you have questions or believe your student qualifies for an exception, please fill out the iPad Take-Home Request Form to apply. This form will also be posted on our school website. Questions should be directed to your child’s grade level counselor.
 
Thank you for your support and partnership as we make this change at SRRMS. We understand that adjusting to a new policy can be challenging. We appreciate your flexibility and understanding as we work together to create a more structured process and ultimately a more effective learning environment for your child. By reinforcing the importance of using class time and Flex Time effectively, you are helping to instill essential habits of preparation, focus, and responsibility that will serve them well beyond the classroom. 
 
Best regards,
Laura Arndt, Principal
