Welcome to OUR Rocky Mountain Core! We're so excited to end spring term 2020 with you! Let's do this thing and have this be your BEST year EVER!
Rocky Mountain Families and Kiddos,
We are so {SO!} excited to reconnect with you all and hope this is finding you in good health after a nice long break! We teachers are truly missing the smiles, laughter, jokes, and watching you all grow as students and individuals SO MUCH! If you need absolutely anything at all, don’t forget we are a few clicks of a button away and here to help you and your families.
As we head into this new online learning, we wanted to give you a little bit of information to help you be successful. Please remember that this is a learning curve for us as well; be patient as we navigate this new territory. Again, remember that we are only an email away if you have questions.
As a way to have a daily connect and to start our days off together, Ms. Colston will be hosting a 10-15 minute zoom meeting at 9:39 every morning. All your core teachers will be joining in from time to time as well! We will do our science Earth Pledge, do a small check-in, and perhaps another fun activity (like learn a RM cheer). This is not mandatory. We will start April Fools day (4/1- no joke) and see how it goes. Please be patient with me! :) https://zoom.us/j/2423902654. You don't need the zoom app, just click that link! Our ID# 2423902654.
More than anything we hope you and your families stay healthy and happy!
-Ms. Burdick, Ms. Colston, Ms. Watkins, and Ms. Worosylo

Rocky Mountain Mountaineers! We miss you! I went in 0ur science room the other day and actually shed a couple of tears. Your faces, your 7th grade goofiness, and your smiles, and laughter were all missing. :(
We are off on this new adventure together! The plan is to continue on with genetics for now. It is a very important part of our curriculum and you need genetics for a good foundation in high school. Please be patient with me, this is all new to me as well so we will figure it out together.
Please check the core calendar to the left and Infinite Campus regularly to ensure your child is up to date on assignments. This calendar is subject to change and is based on instruction.
(Infinite Campus is primarily used for grades and attendance purposes, to see what your child is doing daily, check the core calendar.
