Rosemont Ridge Middle School

We look forward to a great year in partnership with you! There is a lot of information on our website. We encourage you to browse the site and take note of the information that is there. You will also find the school calendar link on the home page. We hope that many of your questions about RRMS can be answered by consulting the website. If you can’t find an answer on our website, please feel free to call the school at 503.673.7550 x2. We are happy to help you!

We take your child’s well-being very seriously. It is important that you notify the school should your child be absent or late. The attendance line number is 503.673.7575. Attendance can also be submitted via the parent portal, ParentVue. You can also email Ms. Burton at burtonk@wlwv.k12.or.us and let her know your child’s status. If you need to have your child leave school for any reason, the parent or guardian should call the office to release the student. Office staff will sign out the student on your behalf. Anyone taking a child from school needs to be listed as an emergency contact on the child’s data form, or have a note from a parent. You can add or remove people through ParentVue, our new portal.  You may call the office on the way to the school if you need to sign out your child for an appointment (5-10 minutes of notice is perfect), or send in a note with the pick-up time. Your child can show this in the office and receive a release pass to show their teacher.

We send out a weekly email newsletter to anyone who has signed up to receive the information. A lot of information is imparted to parents through the News from the Ridge email newsletter. If you were signed up with your child’s previous WLWV school, you may need to update your profile to get the RRMS newsletters. 

Your child’s profile/emergency information is all online. At the beginning of the school year you will be asked to log on and verify that all data is correct, including emergency contacts. Parents and guardians will access a portal called ParentVue and students will access StudentVue. ParentVue replaces FamilyLink, our previous portal. Parents and students who are locked out of their portals should contact the RRMS office, we are happy to reset this.

If you have any questions about which bus your child takes or what time they will be picked up/dropped off, everything is posted on the district website (under Community then Bus Routes). Bus information with times and stops is also listed in ParentVue under Bus Information.If a student will take a different mode of transportation home, the office does not need to be looped in. At the middle school level, we trust students to follow their parents’ instructions.

Early Release Days: At the middle school level, we usually have one early release day per month. Excusal time is 1:45 pm. If your middle schooler has primary school siblings, you might notice that the primary school calendar has early release days more frequently than the middle school calendar.

Sports: Rosemont offers Cross Country in the fall and Track in the spring. All students need to have a current physical on file with the school, register online for the sport, and pay a one-time (per year) fee of $75.

The Arts as extracurricular opportunities: Rosemont currently offers Jazz Band. This is an extracurricular program with early morning practices. There may be auditions in order to participate. The director will let families know when practices are scheduled and give details regarding performances and attire. Payments to cover the activity fee can be make online or in the office. Paying for one activity covers participation in all activities in the category (Track, XC, and Jazz Band). In previous years we have offered Nuance (an audition choir) and Chamber Orchestra-we hope to do this again in the future.

Wellness/PE: We ask that students have an RRMS shirt for Wellness. This can be purchased through Hometown Sports in West Linn. Wellness teachers will give details the first week of class; students aren’t expected to bring them the first week of school.

Do you pick up or drop off your student at school? We request that all students being dropped off or picked up use the sheltered island. Parents should follow the parking lot directions posted on the website. Our desire is for all students to be safe in the parking lot, to get students to cars quickly and safely, and avoid creating traffic on Salamo and Rosemont Roads. The outside lane is the ‘still lane’ and the inside lane is the ‘moving lane’ at pickup time.

The Student Handbook is included in the front of the planner that each student will receive the first week of school. It is also accessible on our website. The planner is one of several ways the school communicates with you regarding your child’s schoolwork. It is an indication of their organization and listening skills in class. Please review it each night with your student. Students should write all their assignments in their planner. Assignments are also listed in ParentVue and StudentVue.

Grade level supply lists are posted on the website. They can be found under For Parents and then Supply Lists, and are grade specific. There may be additional items for a certain class that are not included on these lists. Specific requests will be shared with students the first week of school.

Make up work: If your student has missed school due to illness or appointments, we encourage the student to email their teachers and to check Google Classroom. They can also check in with a classmate if possible.

For all information from the school nurse including current required vaccinations, you can visit the For Parents section of the RRMS website, and select Health Services Information. Here you will be able to learn how to handle medication during the school day for students. All medication should be brought to the office by an adult, in its original packaging. It should be non-expired and age-appropriate. If it is a prescription, the label should still be attached. The office staff is happy to help you with medication and its accompanying paperwork. If your student has received a vaccination that should be on file (possibly a tDap booster or Covid-19 vaccination) you can send the information to Ashley Stevenson stevensa@wlwv.k12.or.us and she will update your student’s profile.
