C.W. Ruckel Middle School

Congratulations ladies

What a successful spirit night last week at Boggy Boys Pizza! Thank you Ruckel families for supporting our event and for Boggy Boys for your generous donation of $323! So thankful for our community!

Thank you to all of our Ram families who donated to our Raise the Roof Fundraiser! Your generosity and support mean so much to Ruckel Middle School.
Thanks to our families, we raised $11,000! These funds help us provide extras for our teachers and staff and support projects that help improve and beautify our campus. We could not do all that we do without the support of our Ruckel families.
The donation site will officially close today. If you would still like to make a donation, there is still time!

If you are interested in PTO and want to help in other ways, and want to know what events are coming up, please see that attached flyer!

Great things are happening in our classrooms! 🖤💛 Ms. McClay had students actively engaged with an interactive card sort, giving them the opportunity to discuss, analyze, make connections, and explain their thinking.
This is a great example of our SPP Tier 1 focus in action. Activities like this move students beyond simply receiving information and require them to use academic vocabulary, justify their choices with evidence, and learn through purposeful student-to-student discussion.
