Message from the Director

Dear Magnet Family, 

Welcome to the 2026–2027 school year! We are excited to partner with you in providing an exceptional academic experience for your child here at RMSST 4–8. Our team is committed to fostering a safe, supportive, and challenging learning environment where every student can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. 

On behalf of the RMSST 4–8 staff, I am honored to welcome you to our inaugural school year filled with promise and possibility. Our theme this year is “Ignite Purpose. Design the Future.” At RMSST, we believe that every student has unique strengths, and it is our mission to nurture those strengths through rigorous instruction, meaningful relationships, and a culture of high expectations. 

We value the partnership between school and home and recognize that your involvement plays a vital role in your child’s success. Connecting with teachers, learning about your child’s academic experience, and becoming familiar with the systems that support student achievement are all ways to strengthen your child’s academic performance and enhance their educational experience. I invite you to scan the QR code below to access the family handbook which provides more detailed information about our day-to-day operations.  

We are proud of the work happening at RMSST 4-8 and look forward to a year of growth, success for all students, and endless possibilities. Together, we can create a strong school community that empowers our students to reach their highest potential. Thank you for trusting us with your child’s education. If we can do anything for you, please do not hesitate to contact us.
