Principal's Corner

Conversations between Principal Womack and the PTSA will occur on a regular basis throughout the school year. We know that RGMS families are looking for answers so the PTSA will follow up these exchanges with a summary of important points to share with the community. These will be posted in our "Principal's Corner" on the PTSA website. Contact us if you have any other questions or concerns.

Greetings, Robert Goddard Montessori Community,

I hope you’re all having a wonderful start to the week!

A big thank you to the parents who attended our focus group as well as those who joined us for TAG Night. Your engagement and feedback are invaluable as we work together to support our students' success.

I’m pleased to share that we completed Quarter 1 benchmark testing on Friday. Once all sections have been scored, we will share the results with you. We appreciate your patience as we finalize this important assessment process.

In other exciting news, this week is Fall Spirit Week at RGMS! It’s a fantastic opportunity for students to show their school spirit and have some fun. Be sure to check out the flyer below for all the details on our themed days. We can't wait to see everyone participating!
