Literacy Week fun in the library with Ms. Polverari 📚❤️
After reading How This Book Got Red (a SSYRA Jr. favorite) about a red panda searching for herself in books, our first graders became authors—creating mini books of their very own. Kindergarten cozy-readers enjoyed storytime alongside Beanie Baby animal friends, proving reading is better with a buddy. And one sharp third grader even found a library book that matched him perfectly.
📚✨ Read My Shirt Day in full effect!
Our staff and students showed up in style—letting their shirts do the talking and reminding everyone that reading matters.
Author and interventionist Sally Brown visited Mrs. Zwemer’s ELA class to share a book she authored as part of Literacy Week.
The Drone Division Kick-Off Classic & Qualifier Event was a huge success! Our students showed incredible teamwork, focus, and technical skill as they took on the challenge and represented our school with pride. From takeoff to landing, they demonstrated exactly what hands-on STEM learning should look like.
Ms. Woodson’s and Ms. Stone’s classes were hard at work practicing for the Special Olympics, with support from Coach Ferrari and some amazing 6th-grade peer mentors. 💪🏽👏 All gearing up for the big event on February 20th—teamwork, determination, and Panther pride on full display! 🐾🏅
So proud of our Panthers representing us at the District Science Fair! Hard work, big thinking, and bright futures on display. 🐾✨
Proudly celebrating our Panthers of the Month for being recognized for their honesty—way to lead with character! 🐾
Celebrating SDIRC’s ⭐️ Stars of the Year tonight! So proud to cheer on our Employee of the Year, Jasmine Jackson, and our Top 5 Teacher of the Year Finalist, Lindsay Zehr. Excellence, dedication, and heart—this is what it looks like. 👏✨
A celebration so big it needed two days—because this much excellence doesn’t fit into one day!
We’ve rolled out the red carpet for our Honor Roll scholars and our Attitude & Effort Roll standouts. Brains, grit, character—this crowd brought the whole package. 📚✨
Two days. Two rolls. One very proud school.
Students in Mrs. Hatcher’s class put pencil to paper as they practiced strong annotating skills during an Amplify Geology lesson.
More SNOTS in action in Ms. Zwemer’s class! 👀📘
Students were actively applying this school-wide strategy—stopping, noticing, organizing, thinking, and sharing their learning with purpose.
Ms. Reed’s class also practiced the SNOTS strategy today as part of our school-wide focus on strong note-taking and close reading. This shared approach helps build consistency across classrooms and sets students up for success at every grade level. Ask your kids to show you what SNOTS is all about—they’ll be proud to teach you! 😊📘
🎉 Celebrating Perfect Attendance – Second Quarter 🎉
We are proud to recognize students who demonstrated commitment and responsibility by achieving perfect attendance during the second quarter. Showing up every day makes a difference—well done!
Mr. Daulby’s class put teamwork to work during today’s lesson on subtracting mixed numbers—students collaborated thoughtfully and explained their thinking to one another!
Fifth graders are putting SNOTS (Small Notes on the Side) to good use following professional learning with our literacy coach. Students are actively annotating texts to track thinking, clarify meaning, and cite evidence—time-tested literacy practices with a modern twist. Teachers are intentionally modeling how to jot purposeful notes that support comprehension, analysis, and discussion, reinforcing that close reading is not a spectator sport. The result? More engaged readers, stronger text-based conversations, and thinking that’s no longer hidden between the lines. Old-school strategy, new-school execution—and it’s working. 📚✏️
Remembering the past. Embracing the future. RMS was proud to represent our school community at the Martin Luther King Jr. Parade.
RTI in action: Our first graders dove into two texts, comparing and contrasting like seasoned scholars!
Ms. Ellis’ first graders reached for the stars as they used the model telescopes they built to explore the constellation The Big Dipper. Learning looks brighter when curiosity leads the way!
