Rising 7th Grade Curriculum Night
Parents and Guardians of students who will attend Rachel Carson Middle School beginning in the fall of 2019 are cordially invited to RCMS to attend the Rising 7th Grade Curriculum Night on Wednesday, Jan. 30, 2019. This program is designed to provide parents an opportunity to learn about the middle school course selection process, the academic and elective course offerings and requirements, and afterschool programs that are available.
The program for parents participating in special education will begin at 5:30PM in the library.
At 6:15PM, the elective showcase for parents will begin in the cafeteria. Have you ever wondered what goes on in the elective classes? Parents, this is your opportunity to learn more about the different elective options at RCMS and ask teachers questions before you and your child select electives for the next year. Elective teachers will be introducing information on their exciting and engaging classes for school year 2019-2020.
At 7:00PM, the general session for parents will begin. Parents should report directly to RCMS Gymnasium for the general program overview. The Curriculum Night will conclude at 8:15PM.
It is our hope that you will gain valuable information to facilitate conversations with your child as you help them prepare to make appropriate course selections.
For your convenience, overflow parking will be available at Nysmith School.
If Fairfax County Public Schools cancels evening activities for Wednesday, Jan. 30, 2019 this event will be rescheduled for Wednesday, Feb. 6, 2019. If you have any questions, please contact Rachel Carson Middle School Student Services at 703-925-3614.

Box Tops Snowball Contest is Coming!
The Box Tops Snowball contest starts on Tuesday, January 22 and will run through Friday February 15. This contest is an important fundraising opportunity for the Box Tops program, as well as lots of fun for the students!
During the contest, please send in your Box Tops with your children on a Box Tops collection sheet included in the weekly PTO folder or in an envelope/baggie with your teacher’s name on it. We will be counting Box Tops every weekend and reporting to the students on Mondays which class is in the lead.
Two classrooms will win a small party at the end of the contest - the class who has “thrown” the most snowballs (brought in the most Box Tops) and the class who has"caught" the most snowballs.
Last year over 10,000 Box Tops were collected during the Snowball contest and we hope to exceed that number this year!
Please email any questions to Mindy Scardamalia and Stacey Bettarelli at box_tops@crossfieldpto.org.
