This a reminder that RMAE does have school on Friday March 17th, unlike some of the neighborhood Jeffco schools. March 17th is a regular school day at RMAE.
A note from Dr Hudson:
 
Dear RMAE families,
With March’s arrival, we have many events coming up. Last year’s book swap was such a success, it is now an annual event. All students are encouraged to donate between 1 and 5 books they have read in exchange for selecting ones they haven’t. The hope is all students go home with at least one new book they can dive into during Spring Break. Students may bring books in good condition and at their level this week. Each student will receive a ticket (up to 5) for each book in good condition donated. They will exchange the ticket for a new to them book next Monday or Tuesday during the Book Swap. Many thanks for our PTO and amazing parent volunteers who are making this event possible.
After Spring Break our students in grades 3-8 will be showing off what they know on the State CMAS assessment. The results are what the state uses for our accreditation. In addition, student academic growth is a priority for RMAE and having this data helps us support that effort. Here is more information.
Your Proud Principal,
Dr. Ann Hudson
- Connect RMAE with a new family! 
- Middle School Dance
- Year end concert dates- required. 
- School Supply kits 2023/2024 now available

Teacher Spotlight- Kelly Riscoe
Hello Everyone! My name is Kelly Riscoe, and I am a new teacher here at Rocky Mountain Academy of Evergreen! I am teaching 5th grade along side one of my great friends Mrs. Watts. This is my 8th year teaching, I have taught kindergarten and 2nd grade. I taught at a STEM school in Westminster and LOVE incorporating STEM into my classroom! I am really excited about the new adventure of 5th grade and a new school!
 I went to University of Northern Colorado for a degree in Sociology. After UNC I went to Metro State in Denver to get my teaching license. 
I am also a mom of two amazing kids! I have an 8 year old boy, who is at RMAE this year in 3rd grade! I also have a 8 month old little girl! My kids and I love being outdoors and being at the pool! We also love going to the lake to paddle board and relax! I love being with my family and going on new adventures!
