It's a great time to stock up on reading material that interests your child.
Reading doesn't seem like practice when the story is about something they love!
If a book is labeled with an age range that includes 12 years old and younger, the book qualifies for the exemption. See the complete list of FAQs HERE
There are more tax holidays scheduled in Florida, including school supplies July 25 to August 7

RUCKEL STUDENT PICK-UP AND DROP OFF PROCEDURESWe have three designated pick up points on Ruckel Property:
• The Car Rider Ramp in front of the school • In front of the Ruckel Gym
• The parking lot on the school side of the street across from the Post Office from 7:20
Please don't use the teacher parking lot behind the Cafeteria or St. Jude's Church parking lot. These are NOT designated pick up/drop off areas for students.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Information about appropriate procedures HERE
Parents, please remember students should not be reporting to school prior to 7:00 am as teachers are not
on duty. If your student arrives between 7:00 and 7:20 am, they are to report to the Cafeteria where a faculty member will be present. This is for the safety of your student.
Campus Arrival Period All students arriving at Ruckel Middle School BEFORE 7:20 am must be dropped off at the FRONT parking lot or the GYM parking lot. The BACK GATE of the school will not open until 7:20 am, at which time students may enter from all three locations. |
Please take a moment to review Ruckel's Attendance Policies here
• No phone call is necessary the day your student is out; however, a written note is required to be sent with your student the day they return to school. • Current Procedure Upon their return to campus, students have five days to supply a note to excuse the absence. They will bring the note to the Front Office and they will verify the note and enter the excused absence in the AS400 and PAWS system, which will be notification that the absence has been excused during the proper time frame. This will eliminate the handling of a note from person to person. They will also mark tardiness and check outs in PAWS. • No absence will be excused without a written note. |

 BECOME A MENTORRuckel needs you! We are looking for mentors to come and spend some time with students. We especially need a bilingual mentor fluent in Spanish. The commitment is once per week during the student's 30-minute lunch time. Studies have shown that students who are mentored develop more positive attitudes, achieve higher grades, improve relationships with adults and peers, are better able to express feelings, are more likely to trust their teachers, and develop higher levels of self-confidence. Please follow the link https://www.okaloosaschools.com/depts/ca/volunteer for instructions on this process. There is an application and background check that must be completed. Contact Guidance at 833-4142 for more information. We look forward to seeing you on campus! |

In our technology-rich world, our students have access to things that we may want to protect them from. Sometimes the thing we need to protect them from is themselves. Sexting is becoming a wide-spread concern among teenagers in the world. Please review the Power Point link found here and have a conversation with your teenager as you see fit to inform them about the dangers of participating in this activity.
