Good morning Ranchero parents/guardians, Voting is currently underway for candidates for Ranchero Middle School Site Council. If you would like to vote for SSC, please contact the RMS office before the end of the day on Friday 9/18/20 and a ballot will be sent electronically to you. Thank you for your participation.
No School Monday Rattlers!
Rattler Families,
Is your student struggling with any of their classes? RMS has college AVID tutors available to students during distance learning. Your student can visit the RMS Distance Learning website:
https://sites.google.com/hesperiausd.org/rms-distancelearning-20-21/tutoring?authuser=0
They will fill out the form located above and a tutor will contact them to set up a small group tutoring session during intervention times. All teachers also have small group intervention times built into their week. Your student can request (although if they have a D/F intervention is assigned) from their teacher to attend these sessions to get additional help directly from their teacher.
We are here to help please feel free to give us a call with questions. 760-948-0175
Rattler Families,
A few quick updates/reminders:
- Students do not need to log onto live video conferencing each Wednesday, however they DO need to check themselves in for the day on Infinite Campus and complete all assignments on Google Classrooms. There are not regularly scheduled live calls on Wednesdays with teachers but Wednesdays are still regular school days for students and they WILL have assignments to complete.
- Student intervention began this week. If your student is struggling in any class they will start attending mandatory intervention/tutoring time throughout the school day. Teachers are notifying students via email/Google Classroom/and during live video conferencing calls. Intervention blocks are listed on the Distance Learning Schedule that can be found at:

Rattler Parents/Guardians,
Mark your calendar for this Thursday 8/27 for the RMS Virtual Back to School Night beginning at 5:30 pm. Details will be shared later this week. Don't miss out on the chance to get to know your student's teachers and learn a bit about each of their classes.
Hello Rattler parents and Guardians,
We hope that you and your students are settling into the new school. As we are now fully underway, it is time to start organizing our 2020/2021 School Site Council. We currently have open parent/community positions on the SSC team. If you are interested in possibly serving as a parent on SSC, please contact the student support department in the Ranchero office before the end of the day on Friday 8/28. Once we have collected the names of all that are interested, we will add the names to a ballot to be voted on. The candidates with the most votes will be added to the SSC team. Thank you and have a wonderful day!
Parent/Guardians,
Starting tomorrow 8/13/20 students will need to begin checking themselves in daily. Teachers will continue to take attendance based on the daily video conferencing. Teachers will be walking students through this process tomorrow as well as posting the tutorial to their Google Classrooms. To view the step by step process click the link below:

Rattler Parents/Guardian,
A quick reminder, there are NO ZOOM/Google Meets on Wednesdays. Students WILL need to complete their assignments for the day. Please be sure your student checks each of their Google Classrooms tomorrow and completes the assignment(s) for the day. This is how teachers will be verifying attendance on Wednesdays.

Nearly all Google Classroom codes and teacher "how to" videos are now accessible. The final few will be added shortly. Students will follow the posted schedule and log on to live video conferences with their teachers beginning Thursday 8/6.
A few FAQ:
- Student textbooks are online and teachers will walk students through how to access them once they begin the video chats
- If you did not attend a HUSD school last year OR if your Chromebook has broken you can come by RMS tomorrow from 9am-12pm and see Mr. Merced to get it fixed/pick one up
- RMS will be a food service site when school starts. ALL RMS students may receive free food services M-Th 11am-12pm
