For those of you who start shopping early, below is the school supply list.
Good afternoon Ruckel Parents
Just a few reminders before the school year comes to an end.
1. Please make sure all medication is picked up from the front office by 1:00 tomorrow
2. All students entering 7th grade next year need an updated FLA 680 shot record with the Tdap Vaccine. Schedules will be held if not turned in by Orientation day.
3. If you plan on moving this summer, please let Ruckel know so we can update your address or if you moved out of state or district so we can withdrawal your child.
To our 8th graders have an amazing last day of middle school tomorrow. To our 6th and 7th graders, next year holds so much potential for you all.
Have a great summer and as always GO RAMS!
Congratulations to all of our Ram Star students. You all do fabulous things to make Ruckel amazing.

Parents
Mark your calendar for Monday August 7, 2023 for Ruckel Readiness Day!
Have you ever wanted to visit the Land of Fire and Ice (Iceland)? This is an educational, international field trip of a lifetime next summer?
I am one of the leaders organizing the trip this year and it is open to rising 5th through 11th graders (and parents) at Ruckel, Niceville High, and Lewis.
Please see the attached powerpoint with necessary information as well as email me for more information (Neely.Calhoun@okaloosaschools.com).
This is a STEM trip -meaning that the entire trip is based on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics instruction.
We will Land at Reykjavik, Iceland’s cosmopolitan capital city. Students will experience a world, unlike anything they've ever imagined! We will discover explosive geysers, giant volcanoes, towering waterfalls, and black sand beaches where Viking explorers landed over 1,000 years ago. From the historic and cultural centers of Reykjavik to volcanic activity this trip incorporates all elements of STEM learning.
