RIS Mission: Our mission is to inspire and empower all students to reach their maximum potential: one student, one lesson, one day at a time.
Keep in mind the main points discussed from District Opening Day: Things I CAN Control…
Continue to focus on the RIS four core beliefs: It’s about Kids! —Accountability—Transparency—Communication. Positives across the district……….. Russell Primary School (From the desk of Mr. Cassity) We had very positive week because we have Raised the Praise and Minimized the Criticize (Todd Whitaker). Here are some good things that happened this past week at RPS:
Russell-McDowell Intermediate (From the desk of Mrs. Wright)
Russell Middle School (From the desk of Mr. Moore) From Mr. Vanhoose - After a year full of many successes, our Russell Middle School Academic Team finished strong at the State Finals! This year, 363 middle schools started out at District Governor's Cup, and RMS was 6th overall. Naturally, I would like to see us place higher, especially since we haven't finished first since 2003, but our students, coaches, and school should be proud of their final ranking. It is a testament to the hard work and dedication it takes to achieve such success, and I firmly believe our students will take these experiences with them through high school, college, and to bright futures beyond. At the State Finals, the top ten students in each written assessment event, composition, and FPS, along with the top eight quick recall teams, earn points for their team. Tiebreakers can make a huge difference (look at Math). I am very pleased that 7 of 15 RMS tests taken were scored 40 or above! From Coach Howard - Archery had a good day yesterday at the State Tournament. I was hoping for a higher score but our team score was 3149, which qualifies our team for Nationals. Our team finished 36 out of 62 in all and we beat Elliott County.
Russell High School (From the desk of Mrs. Chaffin)
Russell Area Technology Center (From the desk of Mr. Trimble) Our SkillsUSA members represented us well this past week as they participated in the regional competition at ACTC’s Technology Drive Campus. Our students demonstrated their knowledge and hard work during these events, and were very impressive. We appreciate Mr. Parsons, Mr. Williams, Mr. Runyon, and Ms. Layne who worked so hard with our students in preparation for this event. Our results included:
Russell Preschool (From the desk of Mrs. Staton) Preschoolers had a fun-filled week of Spring and Easter activities. They really enjoyed learning about baby animals that are born in Spring. We wrapped up our week with an Easter egg hunt and Easter treats. Next week we plan to begin growing our own plants and learning about life cycles. What’s happening at central office / district this week?
It’s a great day to be a Red Devil! Have a great week Russell! Sean
