Attendance Matters — And the Rewards Are REAL!

Mon, 20 Apr 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Welcome to the month of May!

We are finishing the school year strong, and we need your help to get us there! Our Attendance Matters Campaign is in full swing now through June, and students have a chance to win Beats headphones or an iPad; just for showing up!

Every day your child walks through those doors is another entry toward an incredible prize. Consistent attendance not only keeps students connected to their learning — it could also land them some serious tech. Encourage your scholar to be present, be on time, and stay engaged as we head into the home stretch.

Summer School Registration is Now Open!

We are also excited to share that summer school registration is officially open and it is completely FREE for RRPS students and any student in the River Rouge community!

Summer school is a great option if your child:

Has a high absentee rate and needs to make up learning time
Could benefit from reinforcing skills before the next school year
Thrives with structured learning and extra support over the summer

Spots are limited and filling up quickly, so don't wait — register your student today!

Reading Month Spirit Week 03.16 - 03.26.26

Mon, 02 Mar 2026 05:00:00 GMT

Dear Sabbath Middle School Parents and Families,

March is here, and that means it’s time for one of our favorite celebrations of the year—Spirit Month: Reading Month at Sabbath Middle School!

Throughout the month, our students and staff will be celebrating the joy, power, and importance of reading in fun and engaging ways. From Reading with a Friend Day, to Comfy Socks & Cozy Reading Day, Hats Off to Reading, and even Dress as Your Favorite Book Character Day, our building will be filled with excitement, creativity, and school spirit.

Reading is more than an academic skill—it builds imagination, strengthens critical thinking, and prepares our scholars for success, especially as we move into April and state testing season. Spirit Month is designed to keep our students motivated, confident, and enthusiastic about learning while reinforcing the strong literacy skills they use every day.

We encourage you to join the fun at home by:

Asking your scholar about what they’re reading
Setting aside family reading time
Helping them select a favorite book character costume
Celebrating their reading growth and effort

Together, we can make March a month filled with positive energy, school pride, and a shared love of reading.

Let’s have fun, celebrate literacy, and finish this school year strong!
