Current 8th Grade Students- High School Registration News
8th grade students and families – you will be receiving an email mid-March from your assigned high school regarding high school registration.
Registration will be completed virtually. You will find out which courses you have been recommended for and what elective options you have.
4 Day In-Person Learning Request
We are so excited for the opportunity to bring students back to 4 day in-person learning!
As Dr. Turner shared on March 25th, 2021, we will be reconfiguring our classrooms from desks that are spaced 6 feet apart to the new recommendation of 3 feet apart. This transition will take some time from a facilities standpoint and with respect to teacher preparation and instruction.
Under the new 4 day model, students will continue to learn remotely on Mondays and be in-person Tuesdays – Fridays from 8:30 AM – 11:55 AM. On a student's non-hybrid days, he/she may be required to attend one or more class sessions via Zoom in our library if the classroom has reached capacity. Students committing to this model will be expected to attend every day, barring illness or unusual circumstances.
Hybrid A and Hybrid B students may continue with 2 day in-person learning or request the 4 day in-person model. Current online students may request 2 or 4 day in-person learning or remain 100% online.
If you are interested in changing your current learning model, please complete this request form to assist us with planning. We will communicate with families via email when your request has been approved. Due to the need to reconfigure our classrooms, this schedule will begin the week of April 19th. If we are able to safely accommodate your student sooner, we will reach out to you.

Guidance News
RSM is partnering with Western Youth Services (WYS) to provide all our students with social-emotional learning skills using the Zones of Regulation curriculum. Social-emotional learning is about helping students develop a range of skills they need for school and life. Research shows that social and emotional learning is fundamental to academic success.
We are excited at the opportunity to provide this support for our students, especially during these difficult times of distance/hybrid learning. 7th and 8th grade students will be receiving these lessons which will take place via Zoom through elective classes beginning the week of October 5th. Lessons will be conducted once a week for five weeks and each lesson is approximately 30 minutes long.
The purpose of these virtual lessons is to provide an engaging platform to help students strengthen important skills for learning. Students will gain the skills they need to become caring, confident, and capable learners and problem solvers. The lessons will focus on helping all students learn ways to identify and communicate their feelings, develop problem solving skills, and learn strategies to help them build success in school and life.
If you have any questions please contact the counseling office. (949) 459-8253

Engagement & Cameras During Zooms
In an effort to support student engagement, please note that teachers will be encouraging students to have their cameras on during distance learning. While we understand there are some circumstances when this may not be possible, we want families to know this has been encouraged from the onset of distance learning. Please make every effort to promote your student’s full engagement in his/her classes. We believe this will support active learning and offer us the necessary targeted support our students need.

Curious what the numbers mean for your student’s attendance?
3 = Participated in synchronous learning
4 = Participated in asynchronous learning
5 = Participated in both synchronous and asynchronous learning
6 = Absent/Did not participate
What is the purpose of the numbers?
The numbers help our staff understand how many students are able to participate online, who may have internet connection concerns, or need academic support. If a student has a 3 or 5 in attendance we know they have connected online. If a student is marked 4 there may have been an internet issue. If a student is marked with a 6, they are considered absent that day. You may always call our attendance line at 949-459-8253 x243352 for more clarification.
Food Services
RSM, in partnership with SVUSD Food Services, is happy to provide daily drive-thru meal service 5 days per week from 7:00 a.m. - 8:30 a.m. for students who attend Trabuco Canyon, Robinson, Trabuco Mesa, Cielo Vista, and RSM Intermediate. Food Service staff will be set up each morning in the South end of our parking lot. Students do not need to be present in the car to pick up school meals.
When picking up meals you will be asked:
-
Student’s name and grade

Curious what the numbers mean for your student’s attendance?
3 = Participated in synchronous learning
4 = Participated in asynchronous learning
5 = Participated in both synchronous and asynchronous learning
6 = Absent/Did not participate
What is the purpose of the numbers?
The numbers help our staff understand how many students are able to participate online, who may have internet connection concerns, or need academic support. If a student has a 3 or 5 in attendance we know they have connected online. If a student is marked 4 there may have been an internet issue. If a student is marked with a 6, they are considered absent that day. You may always call our attendance line at 949-459-8253 x243352 for more clarification.

Guidance News
RSM is partnering with Western Youth Services (WYS) to provide all our students with social-emotional learning skills using the Zones of Regulation curriculum. Social-emotional learning is about helping students develop a range of skills they need for school and life. Research shows that social and emotional learning is fundamental to academic success.
We are excited at the opportunity to provide this support for our students, especially during these difficult times of distance/hybrid learning. 7th and 8th grade students will be receiving these lessons which will take place via Zoom through elective classes beginning the week of October 5th. Lessons will be conducted once a week for five weeks and each lesson is approximately 30 minutes long.
The purpose of these virtual lessons is to provide an engaging platform to help students strengthen important skills for learning. Students will gain the skills they need to become caring, confident, and capable learners and problem solvers. The lessons will focus on helping all students learn ways to identify and communicate their feelings, develop problem solving skills, and learn strategies to help them build success in school and life.
If you have any questions please contact the counseling office. (949) 459-8253
