We enjoyed seeing many of you at today's Parent University! We wanted to provide a few helpful reminders to everyone, whether or not you were able to attend.
Virtual Open House Videos
These helpful videos will remain available for your viewing over the coming weeks:

Schedules
All students will receive copies of their schedule in iLead on Tuesday morning. We will also have lots of staff members stationed in the Bus and Car Loops on Tuesday morning with full lists ready to help your child find their way to their iLead classroom. Schedules are slated to become available in the FOCUS portal on Tuesday morning, but no matter what, we'll make sure your child is directed safely to their classrooms!
Bloomz
As a reminder, we will NOT be connecting you directly to your child's full schedule in the Bloomz messaging app at the beginning of the year, instead, we plan to utilize grade level groups for the first few weeks of school to accommodate any schedule changes. There has been a slight delay in the rollout process, but we anticipate those invitations being sent at the beginning of next week.
Busing
If you have any questions about busing, please reach out directly to School District Services at 941.800.2105. The most current version of the bus schedule is available on our website. That page can be found here: https://www.rowlettmiddleacademy.org/apps/pages/index.jsp?uREC_ID=1264873&type=d&pREC_ID=1483597
Car Rider / SafeDismissal
We use a program called SafeDismissal to expedite parent pick-up. Each student will be assigned a number in the system that will be utilized to direct them to the Car Loop. Students will receive car placards on Tuesday with their assigned number. To help with dismissal on Tuesday (since no one will have their number or placard yet), it would be appreciated if families could write their child’s last name and first name on a piece of paper, and post it in the driver’s side front windshield at pick-up. After Tuesday, please place the SafeDismissal placard in the front windshield. Thank you for helping us expedite the afternoon dismissal process.
We look forward to a successful 21-22 School Year!
