C.W. Ruckel Middle School

Continuing the CLIMB! We are proud to announce that Ruckel has earned an A for the 23-24 school year! We continue the tradition of earning an A since school grades began. We are extremely proud of our students and staff that put in the hard work every day on their CLIMB. Adding to our great news, not only were we an A school, but we raised our proficiency scores in ELA (+3), Math (+5), Science (+6), and Social Studies (+6) compared to last years scores AND we were the top traditional public middle school in the district in each of these areas AND overall percent of points earned towards the school grade (75)! We are looking forward seeing everyone on August 9th for Readiness Day and to this coming school year as we continue to develop leaders in academics, arts, and athletics! #RAMSLEAD

Chorus all state prep dates

REQUIRED IMMUNIZATIONS FOR 7TH GRADE STUDENTS The state of Florida mandates that 7th-grade students may not enter school until the Florida Certification of Immunization (Form DH680) has been updated with required immunizations or a medical/religious exemption and turned in to the school office. Students without the required immunization documentation will be excluded from class until we receive the updated FLA 680 form that shows their Tdap shot, the date of shot, and code 8. If your child has received the required (Tdap) tetanus booster for 7th grade, we must have a copy on file at the school. Please come by the office or have your child bring in to drop off the updated Florida Certification of Immunization (Form DH680) If your child has not received the tetanus booster, please contact your child's physician to schedule an appointment as soon as possible. Please ensure the doctor's office or clinic signs and stamps the name and address on the Florida Certification of Immunization (Form DH680). If you have questions, please call Ruckel M.S. at 833-4142 or the Okaloosa County Health Department at 833-9240.
