When is Open House and Parent University?

We have tentatively scheduled these activities for August 9th. More details to come.

 

When will my child receive their schedule?

We know parents and students are anxious and excited to see their schedules for the next school year. Students will still have 7 classes next year, including iLead. RMA Counselors will be working on student schedules throughout the summer and do their very best to get students into their preferred electives. Secondary schools often make changes to their master schedule throughout the summer due to staffing, student enrollment, student test scores, and to balance class sizes. You will receive an official schedule in August to the enrolling parent/guardian's email in Focus. Any schedule that students or parents see before we send the official schedule should NOT be considered final. When you receive your child's schedule, you will receive a link to request a schedule change. We entertain schedule change requests for the first 2 weeks of the new school year.  

 

What are the Uniform Requirements?

24-25 Requirements can be found on page 21-22 of our handbook which can be found here. Our SAC is currently considering amendments so a 25-26 version will be shared once approved.

 

Where can I purchase uniforms?

We work with vendors such as Manatee Apparel or Lands' End (School Number: 900183971). If ordering from Manatee Apparel, you may wish to order 3-4 weeks before the desired receipt of items. You may also purchase your own items via the store of your choice as long as they follow our requirements and have the patches applied as needed. Some outerwear is also available via our school website.

 

I want to purchase patches for polo shirts I've purchased. Can I come to the school office?

Patches are $3 each and may be purchased with cash or a check made payable to Rowlett Middle Academy. Exact change only, please.

 

Where can I purchase arts, music, PE supplies/uniforms for 25-26?

These items can be purchased on our website under the "SHOP" tab. Items will be updated and added over the summer, but we do recommend you wait until you have received your child's schedule so you know which elective materials they might need.

 

How can I connect to Bloomz (School Messaging Application)?

Invites for 25-26 will be sent later this summer. Invites will be sent to the email address of the enrolling parent, so please verify you have the preferred address on file.

 

I want to remove myself from the Bloomz messaging application. How can I do that?

There is a chance we might need to message our 24-25 families via Bloomz over the summer. For that reason, will not be "removing" families until we are ready to upload the 25-26 information. If you wish to remove yourself prior to that date later this summer, you may follow these steps.

 

I'd like to learn more about Parent-Student requirements... How can I learn more?

We invite you to review the 24-25 Parent-Student Handbook. An Updated version for 25-26 will be available this Summer.

 

I want to sign-up for Rowlett Family Association committees. Can I still help out?

Yes! Please complete our online interest form.

 

Are 24-25 Yearbooks still available for purchase?

Please send an email to [email protected] to inquire.
