Each week I will highlight some of our opening day themes: Vision Statement #5—Our Technology enables our students to reach beyond the classroom. 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. 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)
Russell-McDowell Intermediate (From the desk of Mrs. Wright) Today was an amazing day at RMIS! Riley Roark, the RMIS spelling champion, competed at Old Fashion Days against Greenup area spelling winners. Riley won! She is the spelling bee champion for the entire county of Greenup! Way to go Riley! Riley will have the opportunity to advance to the next level in Lexington! This week was also very bittersweet as we said goodbye to longtime RMIS secretary Marsi Fullen. We are excited for her to start her retirement but will greatly miss her sweet presence in our front office. Students covered her office with special notes and the staff honored her with a Roadhouse dinner and lots of gifts and well wishes. Good luck to Miss Marsi as she prepares to move south, sit by the ocean, and enjoy life! Russell Middle School (From the desk of Mr. Moore)

Russell Area Technology Center (From the desk of Mr. Trimble) Our FBLA students entered a sheet in the homecoming competition this week. We were very proud of the hard work and collaboration they demonstrated as a team as they created their sheet. It is always fun to see our students share ideas while having fun with these activities. We appreciate all of the teachers and school officials who work so hard to give our students these great opportunities and make the homecoming festivities a lasting memory! Mr. Fields attended training to become an NCCER Certified Instructor this week. By completing this training it will allow his students to complete this industry recognized certification while still students at RATC. In addition to this training, he also became a certified OSHA-10 instructor, which will allow us to provide this certification to over 100 students this school year. We appreciate our teachers constantly putting in work to be able to provide new opportunities for our students! Russell Preschool (From the desk of Mrs. Staton) This week our math standard 1.2.1, recognizes some basic shapes, sparked some great conversations & observations regarding shapes in our world. We read the book, The Shape of Things, & then found shapes in the block center, art center, on our food containers during meal times, in our school building, & on the playground. We read about Spookley the square pumpkin this week! We cut open a pumpkin to see what was inside! We counted seeds, made Spookley using a square graham cracker, icing, eyes and a stem (talking about shapes) made different kinds of pumpkins and painted them! We had so much fun!! 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
