· At last night’s Rockwood School District Board of Education meeting they approved our request for our library to have a name change. It will be renamed as the Gary Ujka Library Media Center. Our PSO will sponsor a dedication reception on Monday, May 14^th. More information will be coming. We shared this recognition with Mr. Ujka this morning at an early morning faculty meeting. He was honored and surprised.

Rockwood South is a happening place this month. We have started the construction on our new fitness center which was approved in the last bond issue. I am very excited about this endeavor because it will be a state-of-the-art facility for our students to use. I have added some of the pictures from the beginning work on the project.

We have also just completed our “Back to the Future” day. We had 74 parents join us for a day of learning with their child. It was awesome to see them sitting in classes taking tests participating in the activities that the students were experiencing. The entire day was a fantastic collaboration between students, parents and teachers! We will have another day second semester, so watch for the information.

MAP Data

MAP scores are in, and RSMS did well. We continue to make gains in all areas. I believe that this is highly impacted by the fact that our attendance average for last year was 97.8%. The table below shows our substantial growth over the past 10 years.

	2002	2003	2004	2005	2006	2007	2008	2009	2010	2011
Communication Arts	38.1	40.9	42.0	40.8	58.9	58.5	59.9	64.7	66.0	65.5
Math	22.8	27.0	25.6	28.8	52.5	53.6	57.0	60.0	64.2	65.5

I am proud of our students and staff! I believe that parent involvement in our middle school and in your child’s life has led to our success. Great learning is taking place at RSMS. Thank you for being part of that process.

Welcome to the 2011-2012 school year at RSMS!

Welcome to the first day of school. I am so excited to begin our new school year. I will be writing blogs this year through the eBackpack link on our website. Look for these to post bi-weekly. I will use these blogs to highlight important information for you. They will be replacing my weekly emails due to the fact that all of the information that I used to put in them is located on the Rockwood South Middle School website.

Thank you to everyone who came to our orientation days. We had a wonderful turnout and spent the time meeting our new sixth grade parents and catching up with our seventh and eighth grade parents and students. Well, we’re off to a great year of learning.
