weeks of school before we break for summer.

Year End Activities
Homeroom Teachers are busy planning year-end activities for
their classroom bubbles. All year-end activities must have an approved
operational plan and follow strict guidelines due to Covid-19. Each homeroom
teacher will send home further information as details are finalized.
Code of Conduct
With only a few weeks remaining, it is a great opportunity
for you to review the RMS Code of Conduct with your child. Our school code of
conduct was developed with input from staff, students, and parents. It is very
important that students, staff, and RMS families are familiar with the
expectations at Riverview Middle, so we can ensure a positive and safe learning
environment for all.

Code of Conduct
Digital Citizenship
Many of us are
spending more time on digital platforms. It is extremely important that we
model appropriate digital citizenship for our children. We also encourage you
to monitor your child’s social media activity, frequently, what is happening
outside of school on social media impacts the day-to-day activities within the
school. Being a responsible
digital citizen means having the skills to take part in online community
life in a respectful way.
In recent
weeks, we have been discussing the importance of consent, more specifically
digital consent. At the beginning of each year, students and their parents sign
a media release consent form, many students and their families, have requested
that their photo or videos not be taken while at RMS. Please discuss the
importance of not taking recordings at RMS or sharing videos of other
people, students, or staff without their consent.
Anglophone
East School District and RMS continues to promote an expectation of positive
Digital Citizenship within our organization and that expectation is extended to
our community. We would like to remind our community to engage in responsible,
fair, and positive interactions both in person and online or on social media.
Next Year
Planning for the 2021-2022 school year is well underway. We
have decided that RMS will begin the new school year with a staggered entry,
much like last year. As more information becomes finalized for the fall, we
will share it with you over the course of the summer months.
June Newsletter
Below is the link for the June Newsletter. June is a busy

worked and learned through this experience together.
