August 24th-28th, 2026: RIM's Edge of Excellence Weekly Kickoff
Dear ROWUSD Students, Families, and Staff,
We are heading into our second full week of school, and while the school year still feels new, we are beginning to settle into our routines, reconnect with one another, and find our rhythms!
So much is already happening across ROWUSD! Our Weekly Kickoff helps everyone stay informed, connected, and involved in the activities, events, athletics, fundraisers, and special opportunities taking place throughout our schools.
We encourage you to take a look at what’s coming up this week, mark your calendars, and join us whenever you can. Whether you are participating, cheering on our students, attending an event, or simply staying informed, your involvement helps strengthen our RIM community.
Here’s to another great week of learning, connection, school spirit, and making the 2026–2027 school year one to remember!
