Dear RMS Families,
I want to extend a huge thank you to everyone who took the time to complete the 2025-26 family survey. This year, we had our highest number of family responses ever, and I am so grateful for your engagement and thoughtful feedback.
I’m especially proud to share that 96% of our families said they would recommend RMS to a parent or guardian seeking a school for their child. That is a meaningful reflection of the community we’re building together. We are committed to continuous improvement, and I want to ensure every family feels confident and supported. If you have concerns or experiences to share, please don’t hesitate to reach out so the building team can respond and support.
Your insight helps us grow. We’re reviewing the survey data to identify patterns and areas where we can continue improving. In response to feedback, we’ll continue to send bi-weekly updates from the building, and monthly updates from Park teams to help you stay connected and informed.
We're also continuing to refine our bullying and harassment response process, including supporting students and staff in understanding the difference between conflict and bullying. This is essential work as we build a safe and supportive environment for all students.
We appreciate your continued support,
Erica Barlow, Principal

- The level of follow up and connection to our children from Admin team and the staff has been amazing. I have been contacted with constructive and clear asks for assistance as a parent. The level of response and engagement is the key to supporting as a parent as it ultimately is our job. Thank you and your staff for this commitment and engagement with my child and all children at RMS.
- My daughter is enjoying middle school so much more than I expected. Her teachers are so caring and support her individual needs well.
- The communication has been great! Both from a district and building standpoint. I was worried about having additional apps to track with moving in to middle school. But they have all been great and easy to use.
- Wonderful, supportive, fun teachers! Great class offerings.
- We are impressed with school leadership and the dedication of teachers.
- I've been very grateful for the teachers my kids have at the middle school!
