Rincon Middle School

Today, we celebrated our amazing staff with a wonderful appreciation luncheon at Rincon, and it wouldn't have been possible without the generous support of Marcos Pizza on West Mission! Your delicious pizzas brought smiles and joy to our team, and we are truly grateful for your kindness. A huge shoutout also goes to our incredible Rincon PTSA for their unwavering support this week! Your dedication and commitment to leveling up our events have made a significant impact, and we couldn’t have done this without you. Thank you all for making our staff feel valued and appreciated! Here’s to many more celebrations together!

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

Rincon’s admin assistants celebrated at breakfast

Exciting times at our first ever, Rincon Unleashed! On Friday we welcomed our incoming 5th and 6th graders to a truly unforgettable afternoon that went beyond a typical orientation. Our campus buzzed with energy as our amazing WEB leaders guided personalized tours, making each new Bulldog feel right at home! Special thanks to our PUPS who supported our special population groups and our ASB students for tackling all those burning questions with helpful answers. Our incoming Bulldogs got a taste of adventure during their campus tours and exploring unique After School Explore classes like Color Guard and Skateboarding, and they were in awe of our epic Esports room! This year was particularly special as we bused in over 300 eager students from Reidy Creek, North Broadway, Conway, Lincoln, and Rock Springs — marking inaugural event, known now as RINCON UNLEASHED, as the start of a cherished tradition. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who made this day possible! Here’s to new beginnings and the bright futures of our Rincon Bulldogs!
