Rocky Mountain Academy of Evergreen

First Grade experienced their first Maker Space of the new school year!  Students explored how to use the cardboard box tools and practiced collaboration and cooperation.  These tools will be used as they enter into the Core Knowledge Science curriculum studying the human body.  Students will create a basic cardboard skeletal system and add the organs as they progress through the unit.

Hello RMAE families,

It is truly an honor and privilege that you have entrusted your child’s education with us.  As such, we take a team approach to best support your child so please don’t hesitate to reach out to our teachers throughout the year.  The staff contact information is on our website under “About RMAE” then “Faculty and Staff.” 

We look forward to seeing you at our Back to School Nights this week.  You will have an opportunity to learn about the core and special classes as well as experience firsthand our staffs’ positive energy, dedication, and nurturing approach in supporting all students. Fifth through eighth grade is on Tuesday and Kinder through 4th grade is on Wednesday, both from 6:00 – 7:30.  Please look for your specific schedule here Schedule.  If you have any questions, contact your child’s teacher.

I wish all you a safe and fun long weekend!

Your Proud Principal,
Dr. Ann Hudson

Link your loyalty card to the organization of your choice and shop with King Soopers. For instructions on how to sign up, download the instruction document: King Soopers Community Rewards Program.

Safeway- Each time you add funds to your re-loadable gift card, 5% will be donated directly to RMAE PTO. For every $100 loaded, ONE HOUR of volunteer time will be credited towards your family's 60 hour volunteer requirement. Order Safeway re-loadable gift cards via www.atozconnect.com. The cost per card is $5 and this amount will be pre-loaded on your card so you will get a full refund the first time you use the card. Questions about the grocery store program, please contact Carrie Wassemiller ([email protected]).
