Rubies

Welcome to the Rubies Team at BRMS!

Dear Students and Families,


We would like to welcome you to our team! Your core team of teachers consists of:


Science: Mrs. C. Dube Social Studies: Ms. A. Weeks 

Math: Mrs. P. Harrington ELA: Ms. A. Jakuboski

Special Education:  Mrs. M. Rossi Guidance: Ms. L. Fontaine



Your schedule has the names of your Unified Arts teachers.


We look forward to getting to know all of you.  The students are our priority and we are committed to doing our best. We ask for your patience and support and we promise to do the same. 


Google Classroom (set up by individual teachers, so your child will have many).  Google Classroom Guardian Summaries: You will receive an important invitation to join your student's Google Classroom when school begins. This allows you to receive weekly guardian summaries, which provide a window into your child's upcoming and missing digital assignments (except for missing IXL assignments which will show as a missing assignment in Skyward) , announcements posted by teachers, and streamlines email communication between you and your child's teachers. Visit https://support.google.com/edu/classroom/answer/6388136?hl=en to learn more.  Please note the guardian summary does not allow you to see what your child sees. 



  • Some of us will also be using the Remind app (communication via text messages).  If you’ve used Remind in the past, you may want to delete those classes as they are attached to past years’ teachers.  If you wish to join, we have an individual code below.  

To join by text, the remind phone # is 81010 and in the message field, type “@”and the code.  Each class must be done separately:

  • Science - @dube1133

  • Math - @Math02822


About the Planner: The planner that your child will receive on the first day of school will be used daily to record homework/assignments/due dates. Students are required to copy this information from the board each class.  This valuable habit is taught and reinforced throughout the year. 


It is your child’s responsibility to have the planner at all times (school and home).  The first planner is provided free of charge. A replacement planner must be purchased if a student loses the first planner. It is expected that all pages will remain in the planner until the end of the year.



Grades: Students can access their grades and missing assignments online through Skyward. Parents can also access Skyward (parent last name, first initial and the password is: southkingstown*)



Absences: Students and/or parents are responsible to email the teacher with known absences 

(first initial, last name @sksd-ri.net [email protected]) .  Each teacher will respond directly.
