Future RFMS Band Families,
We are excited to officially get our new Band students started next week! On Thursday, October 8, from 1:00 - 4:00 PM, we will be hosting our Band Instrument Petting Zoo & Rental Night at Ruth Fisher Middle School.
Students will have the opportunity to try different band instruments and figure out which instrument is the best fit for them before families make a final decision about renting or purchasing.
Please keep in mind that space on certain instruments may be limited. Just like a sports team needs players in different positions, a successful band needs a balance of different instruments. Students are encouraged to try several options, and instrument placement will be based on student success, interest, and the needs of the ensemble.
I strongly encourage families to attend before renting or purchasing an instrument so we can make sure each student is set up for success.
Please sign up for a time using the link below:

We are very excited to get everyone started and look forward to seeing you on October 8!

Saddle Mountain Unified School District – School Closure Notice
Dear SMUSD Staff and Families,
Due to heavy rain, flooding, and unsafe weather conditions throughout our community, Saddle Mountain Unified School District will be closed today.
The safety and well-being of our students, staff, and families is always our number one priority. Given the current weather and road conditions, we believe cancelling school is the safest decision for our community.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we prioritize the safety of everyone in our district.
Please stay safe, take care of one another, and have a wonderful day.
Sincerely,
Saddle Mountain Unified School District
Due to heavy rain and flooding, Session 1 of developmental preschool at Tartesso and Ruth Fisher will be cancelled. We will continue to provide communication regarding sessions 2 and 3. Thank you for understanding.
Due to flooding we are on a 2 hour late start. Transportation to all schools will be delayed by 2hours this morning.
We will continue to provide updates as needed.
We can't wait to see your school spirit!!

Tomorrow = game on 🎉
Color Games officially start tomorrow, and the vibes are about to be way different around campus.
Over the next two weeks, students will have games at lunch, daily challenges, and work toward a big final event — all while supporting our school.
Don’t blink. It goes fast, and you’re gonna want to be part of it.
