NMS Students Honored With Eagle Encourager Awards--Respect Campaign
This is a formal announcement and recognition of the following students who were recognized by their teachers for earning the Eagle Encourager Award during our RESPECT Campaign!
The Eagle Encourager Award recognized students who, during the “Encourage Others” week of the RESPECT campaign, consistently demonstrated our Eagle Expectation of RESPECT in all areas of the school.
This award highlights students who went above and beyond to encourage others, promote a positive school culture, and model respectful behavior every day. Students who were selected showed respect by supporting and uplifting their peers.
These students frequently offer kind words to classmates, include others in group activities, show empathy when someone is struggling, or help maintain a positive learning environment through their actions and attitude. These students not only treat others with kindness and courtesy but also inspire respect among their peers through their consistent, positive example.
**Award Winners received a Pizza Certificate from Boss’ Pizza and Chicken and an Eagle Encourager Award certificate!**

Tomorrow, in recognition of Red Ribbon Week and Halloween, students may wear their costumes to school. Please use your best judgment on keeping things appropriate for school.
- Please come already dressed and ready to learn.
- Anything with adult themes, alcohol/drug references, or inappropriate language is not allowed.
- No masks.
- Please save your face paint or makeup for Friday and do not wear it to school (it gets itchy as the day goes on and then it causes a mess)
- No fake weapons or props.
- Do not use the bathroom to dye your hair.
- Inflatable costumes are fine, but you will need to deflate during class.
Thank you, we are looking forward a great end of the week. Also, just a reminder that there is no school on Friday.
Congratulations to Donivan Long, the incredible custodian at North Middle School and Support Staff of the Month for September!
Donivan was nominated by his coworker, who said:
"Donivan has made a tremendous impact in his first year at North. Stepping into the role, he had big shoes to fill as the previous janitor was known for going above and beyond in many areas outside of cleaning. Donivan has not only met those expectations but has also demonstrated his genuine commitment to fulfilling that role fully. He consistently asks where he can help, takes initiative, and shows a willingness to step in wherever needed. His positive attitude, reliability, and strong work ethic have made a noticeable difference in our school environment. Donivan’s dedication has quickly earned him the respect and appreciation of staff and students alike, making him an invaluable part of our community."
A big thank you to Bickett Insurance Agency & Financial Solutions for sponsoring this recognition and celebrating Donivan’s dedication!
We're so excited to host a booth at The Great Downtown Pumpkin Festival this Saturday! Come find the Rapid City Area Schools booth for free temporary tattoos, cool swag, and a chance to chat with us! We can't wait to see you there!
On Monday, August 18, all Rapid City Area Schools buildings will be closed from 7:30 a.m. to approximately 10:30 a.m. for our annual District Opener event. This is a special tradition where all RCAS staff gather to celebrate the start of the new school year and align for success. We appreciate your understanding as we take this time to connect, inspire, and ring in the new year together.
