RMS Staff is excited to get started and meet each and every student! RMS will be distributing student laptops on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday, August 18, 19, & 21. This will be as contact free as possible, using the bus loop behind the building. Please read the instructions carefully for your assigned date and time and where to enter the campus. If you have multiple students at RMS, feel free to bring them all at the same time so to reduce the number of times you come to the building.

Once the committee forms, all the decisions made by the Science Club committee will be final. | If you're new to RMS or haven't yet joined our efforts, we offer a wide variety of opportunities for you to get involved from a little to a lot.
