Welcome to seventh grade! We hope you are excited about being a student at Ryan Gloyer Middle School, and we look forward to meeting you soon! Please take note of the upcoming dates and important information below.

• Building Visitation Day: Wednesday, August 14th

We encourage you to visit RGMS for a self-guided tour of the building anytime between 9:00-1:00 or 3:00-6:00. Make sure you bring a paper or electronic copy of your schedule to find your classrooms. Student Council members will be present to distribute maps and help you find classrooms. Your locker number and combination will be provided during the visitation, so you can practice opening your locker. Feel free to bring your school supplies to put inside your locker. There will also be opportunties to meet the building administrators at 9:30, 11:30, and 4:30 in the band room.

 

• First Day of School: Thursday, August 22nd

Please report directly to your homeroom on the first day of school with your team binder. There will be an extended homeroom period in the morning to help with your transition to RGMS. During this time, we will provide you with a copy of your schedule, building map, locker information, and planner. We will review this information and answer any questions you have. You will also have time to practice opening your locker prior to first period. 

 

• Open House: Thursday, September 12th

Please join us to learn about the middle school experience, meet your child's teachers, and see your child's classrooms. This is a parent-only event.

 

To help you with your transition to RGMS, we encourage you to look at the following resources posted on the Tiger Team website. These can be found on the menu to the left.

• Team Supply List 

To help you get organized for seventh grade, we have compiled a list of supplies that you will need for the school year. Additional supplies may need to be purchased for encore classes. If you are unable to purchase any of the required team supplies, please have a parent/guardian email one of the Tiger teachers, so we can help you. Please bring your school supplies during the building visitation or on the first day of school. In addition, we are asking each student to donate tissue boxes to help our classrooms remain stocked throughout the school year. Please give these items directly to your homeroom teacher. We greatly appreciate your generosity and support.

 

• RGMS Map

Most of your classes will be located in the Tiger team hallway. We encourage you to highlight each of your classrooms on the map to help you find your classes.

 

• Bus Dismissal Map (will be posted as soon as it is available)

Please make sure you know your bus number. This is posted on the SV Portal. We will review the map on the first day of school, so you know where to locate your bus.

 

If you have any specific questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to email a Tiger team teacher. We work together as a team and encourage you to communicate with us as needed. We understand this is a big transition for you and are happy to answer any questions that you have.
