Ranchero Middle School

Congratulations to Tammy Namanny for being the Teacher of the Year for Hesperia Unified School District! We appreciate all you do for our students, Tammy!

Rattler Parents/Guardians, School begins on AUGUST 6th! We are posting the schedule that students will follow for Distance Learning to the RMS website as well as our social media pages. In addition, we are mailing home a hard copy of this schedule with additional information tomorrow. Please keep an eye out over the weekend for this letter.

Rattler Families, The Parent Involvement Policy is now available to view: https://drive.google.com/file/d/121R4MDT7uD0dHNPZhMBa11CQwWzlbCK1/view

Rattler Families, As you heard from HUSD Superintendent, Mr. Olney, we will begin the 20-21 school year with distance learning. Our office staff has returned and we are here to answer your questions. Please feel free to give us a call M-Th 8:30am- 3:30pm (760) 948-0175. Our goal is to work together as partners in your student's distance learning experience. We have put together a RMS Distance Learning web site that will include all the information you will need to support your student through this process. We will share the link for the website via the RMS website/social media/texts prior to the first day of school. We are looking forward to another amazing year in Rattler Country! Mrs. Bonnett

The 2020 Drive Through Backpack Giveaway will be held on Thursday, July 30 at the San Bernardino County Fairgrounds in Victorville. At this event, they will be giving away backpacks, food boxes, socks, face masks, books and more!

Rattler Families, I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you all for working together with the RMS staff to bring our students the best possible education under the current circumstance. Although this is not the way anyone planned to end the school year, we are indeed at the end of the year. As the situation unfolds throughout the summer, we will keep you updated for the plan for the upcoming school year. If your student is planning to attend a Hesperia Unified School District school next year, you do not have to return your Chromebook until school resumes in the fall. If your child will not be attending a Hesperia Unified School District school next year, then please contact our school office to arrange for a drop off time for your Chromebook before Wednesday 6/3. Wishing you all a safe and restful summer! Mrs. Bonnett

Good Morning Rattler Families, Today is the LAST day for PE locker pick up and yearbook pick up. All items remaining from student's PE lockers will be donated/discarded after today. You can pick items up between 10am-1pm. Thank you!

Good Morning Rattler Families! Many parents have had questions about Chromebook drop-off. Chromebooks will remain checked out to students over summer break. As students return in the fall, they will check in their old Chromebook and then will be checked out their new Chromebook. If your student is attending another HUSD school next year (ex: Sultana), they can check-in their old Chromebook at their new school. If your student is not returning to Ranchero or an HUSD school, then they will need to return their Chromebook to the school by Thursday, May 28th. School will be open every Tuesday and Thursday from 10 AM to 1 PM via the Chromebook support center in front of the MPR or the PE pickup lane via the bus lane for drop-off. If your student has any other items they would like to return this year, they can return it via either of the options mentioned above. Please do not hesitate to reach out to the school and/or an administrator if you have any follow-up questions.

The HUSD Family Resource Center has shared their monthly newsletter. Check it out here: https://bit.ly/2Lk0Llz

Attention Rattler Families, PE clothes pickup will start on Tuesday, May 12, from 10 AM to 1 PM and will continue on every Tuesday and Thursday until the end of the school year during the same time frame. To maintain proper social distancing, parents will enter the school by taking Oxford Avenue to the back campus and entering the bus lane. Parents will drive on campus to the back of the gym. (There is a map posted to the RMS Instagram and Facebook pages) Please bring a sign to hold that includes the STUDENT NAME and PERIOD to show staff members so that they can quickly get their student's belongings. Staff will get the belongings and put it in the trunk of their car and parents will exit via Ranchero road. All belongings NOT picked up by May 28th will be donated to charity/discarded. Stay safe Rattlers!
