Andrew Kirk Principal of RMS with students

Welcome to the 2025-26 school year. I cannot begin to tell you how honored I am to be your principal. I truly enjoyed serving our students and stakeholders last year and look forward to strengthening my relationships with this wonderful community for many years. Ramblewood Middle School has a long history of excellence, and I will work diligently to contribute to its continued success.

At Ramblewood Middle School, we are committed to our students. Their academic, as well as social and emotional needs, are our priority. Our faculty focuses on developing lifelong learners while providing a rich educational experience. We are proud to focus on project-based learning activities that challenge our students to solve problems in a real-world setting. Our award-winning elective offerings allow students to become “experts” as they dive deep into the arts, technology, foreign language, and service-based activities. We encourage your child to explore and participate in the various activities offered by Ramblewood Middle School.

Building healthy relationships is key to our students' success. Our kids need us more than ever. I invite you all to be part of the Raider Nation by volunteering and becoming involved in our many programs. Our amazing PTO is like no other. This team of parents is dedicated to making our students’ time here memorable. If you would like to become a member of this amazing group, please get in touch with them at:

Hello 6th Grade Raiders!

Welcome to a brand-new school year! I’m Mr. Matt Dearen, your Assistant Principal, and I couldn’t be more excited to kick off this amazing journey with you. This year, we’re setting the tone with one powerful theme: “Bring Your A-Game!”

What does that mean? It means showing up every day with your Attitude, Action, and Ambition. Whether you're learning in the classroom, working on a project, or making new friends—your A-game is what makes the difference.

🔹 Attitude – Come ready to learn, grow, and support one another.
🔹 Action – Put your best effort into everything you do.
🔹 Ambition – Set goals and believe in your ability to achieve them.

This year will be full of exciting challenges, new friendships, and opportunities to shine. You’re not just students—you’re leaders in the making. Let’s work together to make this the best year yet.

Let’s bring our A-game every day. I believe in you, and I can’t wait to see all the amazing things you’ll accomplish!

I am honored to serve as your 7th-grade Assistant Principal for the 2025–2026 school year, as we begin on this exciting journey of growth, achievement, and excellence.

Just like world-class athletes prepare for their big moment, we are training, striving, and staying focused on reaching our personal best. Our theme this year is:
“GOING FOR THE GOLD: Together We Achieve!”

This school year will bring numerous opportunities for students to overcome challenges, embark on new learning adventures, and celebrate their successes. At Ramblewood Middle School, our mission is to ignite student passion for lifelong learning through the use of advanced technology, rigorous classroom instruction, and meaningful community connections—preparing our students to be civic-minded global citizens.

Like any successful Olympic team, our strength comes from teamwork and unity. We know that educating children takes dedication, commitment, and a strong partnership between school and home. Students are encouraged to demonstrate integrity, responsibility, and perseverance—traits of true champions. Likewise, we invite parents and community members to participate actively in our educational efforts.

We encourage you to monitor your child’s academic progress on FOCUS regularly and to talk with your child about their daily experiences. Your encouragement and involvement will help them stay motivated and focused on their goals. Please also stay in touch with teachers and staff to foster a winning home-school connection.

Assistant Principal - Mrs. Alice Tatoute - 8th Grade

I am Alice Tatoute and am thrilled to introduce myself as your Assistant Principal. It is an honor to be a part of the Raider Nation.

As we embark on a new school year, I am excited about the wonderful opportunities and experiences ahead. Our collective goal is to create a positive, nurturing, and engaging learning environment where every student can thrive academically, emotionally, and socially.

At Ramblewood Middle School, we believe that education is not just about academics; it's about developing well-rounded individuals who are prepared for the future. As Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said, “Intelligence plus character, that is the goal of true education.” Together, we will strive to instill these values in our students, guiding them to reach their highest potential and preparing them to be their best as they soar to the next level.

I am committed to working collaboratively with our exceptional staff, supportive parents, and the entire community to ensure the success and well-being of our students. Your partnership and involvement are invaluable as we work together to provide the best possible educational experience for our children.

Throughout the year, I look forward to getting to know each of you and building strong, lasting relationships. My door is always open, and I encourage you to reach out with any questions, concerns, or ideas you may have. Together, we can make this school year a memorable and successful one for all.

We encourage you to regularly review your child’s grades in FOCUS and engage with them in conversations about their school experiences. Your interest and support in their academic journey will inspire them to achieve their best. Additionally, maintaining open communication with your child’s teachers and staff will help foster a strong and successful home-school partnership.

Let's make this a fantastic year at Ramblewood Middle School!

Warm regards,
