Upcoming EF Tour for 2027 - Spain - Message from Social Worker Ida Batiste

Dear families,

I am excited to announce an upcoming student trip to Spain in Summer 2027! This life-changing experience will help students build confidence, independence, and global perspective.

Families interested in learning more are invited to attend a one-time virtual informational meeting on Wed, May 27, 2026 at 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm — spots are limited, so early RSVP is encouraged.

Why attend? Learn how to save $200 with early enrollment. Learn about what we’ll see and do, academic opportunities, trip cost, and more.

I hope to see you there but in the meantime, please visit EF’s website to get answers to common parent questions.

Best,

Ida Batiste, School Social Worker at Rincon Middle School

  • Greetings Rincon Community!

    I need your help in creating another NEW tradition at Rincon, an annual Giving Tree to end our week of appreciation for our TEACHERS.


    How it works:

  • Parents/Guardians purchase $10 gift cards to area businesses (Starbucks, Amazon, Target, Walmart, etc)

  • Turn in your gift card(s) to the front office, not the classroom teacher; feel free to add who it’s from.

  • Drop off $10 gift cards by Thursday, May 14th. All cards will be placed in envelopes and hung from a special tree for teachers to pick.

  • Important reminder:
    Provide 1 or more cards in $10 increments. These are going to be selected blindly, which adds to the surprise. It’s a great way to make our teachers feel extra special.

    This event and our Cookie Walk in December are wonderful traditions we hope to continue, but we need your support. Let’s show them how much we appreciate them.


    Thank you for your support!

Our PE department wants to thank SD adult baseball league for the donation. With the grant money our PE department was able to purchase two ION speakers. This has added music in the weight room and during our cardio activities on campus. This also provided us the ability to do the State Fitness test. This was key to completing the California Physical Fitness Test (PFT) and Fitnessgram. This is a mandatory annual assessment for students in grades 5, 7, and 9. Administered between February 1 and May 31, it evaluates five core areas: aerobic capacity, abdominal strength/endurance, truck strength/flexibility, upper body strength and flexibility. Results are used for student self-assessment and program evaluation. With the ION speakers we were able to provide the student with the cadence and were able to complete our PFT. @SDAdjultbaseballleague
