Greetings Romulus Families,
Welcome to the start of the 2022/2023 School Year! From all of us at RCS, we are excited for what appears now to be the beginning of a normal year. All of us are thankful to be back to planning full in-person instruction and extracurricular activities for students.
We have been made stronger by the events of the last three years. For the opening days of school with staff, our theme will be "Yes We Can". Staff, students, and families should all take pride in knowing "You Can" and together "We Can." Our teachers and administrators have been working continually since 2020 (even during the summers) to improve our curriculum and assessments. Our non-instructional staff continue to work preparing and improving our building to be ready for students on September 6th. Our Board of Education hasn't missed a beat working on policy revisions, or making plans for a capital improvement project for public vote in October, or how best to continue providing a safe, supportive learning atmosphere at RCS. Together as a community, we have been engaging in discussions to make our school a place where every student can be seen, heard, and understood. All of these things have occurred during what many have called the most difficult years schools have experienced in over a century. This is just some of the evidence of what "We Did" that makes me know "We Can".
For the start of the 22-23 year, there will be no mandatory COVID testing or special procedures/restrictions for staff or students, regardless of vaccination status. We will continue to offer testing to those who choose. As always, if you have symptoms of illness like fever or nausea, seek medical advice before attending school with any potentially contagious condition. Contact Mrs. Bennett, our nurse, if you need more information.
I am proud to see the support and investment our staff & community make in our school. As we look forward to this year and many more ahead, we value these partnerships as the core of what makes RCS such a wonderful experience for students. Our motto remains “Children First, Learning Always”. Each year we learn and grow to make RCS better. May the excitement of a new year be with all of you!
