Things to Do

 

School News

Dental Screening at RESMS Health Center

Wednesday, March 15, 10:00 AM- 2:00 PM

Our dental screenings are conducted by our dentists, they are quick (1-2minute) oral checks of the student's mouth and an optional application of fluoride. Dentists assess based on the visual exam whether the student has any follow up needs (i.e., cleanings, sealants, any procedures, etc.). 

This allows us to see a high volume of patients in a day and do a broader level assessment of the community's oral health needs.

If the dentist identifies a follow up need, we will be able to register and schedule them with our dental team or provide resources to community dental clinics for referral if needed.

Ravens Care Closet In Need

One way that Raven families help one another

Thanks to the generosity of our Ravens families, the Ravens Care Closet has been helping provide much-needed items to many of our families. This week we are running low on household basics like household cleaner, laundry soap, hand sanitizer and hand soap.  

An easy way to help is to order from our Amazon Wish List.

Sports

Boys Soccer Tryouts

Coaches Jon and Tom

Your soccer coaches, Jon and Tom, are getting set to kick off the spring soccer season. We are excited to get out there on the field and teach the kids some soccer, but more importantly give them an opportunity to get in shape, learn about teamwork, and meet fellow classmates.

All skill levels are encouraged to tryout!  We do not intend to have cuts.  Last year we had nearly 60 kids, fielding a  Varsity, JV, and JVC team, and we expect to do the same again.

The season runs from April to June:
  • Practices: Mondays and Thursdays
  • Games: Saturdays

Tryout Dates/Times

  • Monday, March 20th from 4:00-5:45 PM (On the RESMS field)
  • Tuesday, March 21st  from 4:00-5:45 PM (On the RESMS field)

We recommend athletic clothing for the tryouts, as well as cleats and shinguards if you have them. Please make sure to complete your FinalForms paperwork before tryouts.  You can find instructions and a link to FinalForms on the RESMS Athletics page. (RESMS website => Student Life => Athletics)

Last year was an absolute blast and we ended our season by making it to the finals after a dramatic penalty kick victory in the semifinals. Fingers crossed we can have as much fun again! Details about timing and how to sign up are below.

See you out on the field!

Go Ravens!
