.Parent-teacher conferences are a great opportunity for parents to meet with their child's teacher and discuss their progress in school. These meetings can provide valuable insights into a child's academic performance, social skills, and overall well-being. It's important for parents to come prepared with questions and concerns so they can make the most of their time with the teacher. By working together, parents and teachers can help students succeed and reach their full potential. Thursdays Time(3:30pm-6:30pm) Fridays Time(8:30am-11:30am)

Mrs. Gist, the aviation club sponsor, arranged for Captain Devin Fuller, a private pilot with experience working alongside celebrities like Mary J. Blige, Layla Ali, and President Biden, to speak to our students at Rickover Junior High School. The objective was to spark students' interest in aviation careers and provide them with exposure to professionals in the field.

Close to 70 students participated in the Black Science Cafe at the Museum of Science and Industry. Students qualified for the field trip by meeting one or more of the following criteria: perfect attendance, inclusion in the quarter 2 honor roll, and/or demonstrating good behavior.
