10/8/20 Admin Kat Sherer, Dean of Students Joined RMS Staff 9/9
10/8/20 Admin Kat Sherer, Dean of Students Joined RMS Staff 9/9/2015 Rainier Community - Greetings! I am starting my 21st year in education but this will be my first year as an administrator. I am a Proud Panther, girls basketball coach and athletic director. My first five years at RMS, I worked as a Special education teacher in the Pathway Program. Prior to coming to the Auburn School District, I spent 15 years teaching P.E./Health/Math/Science in high schools in and around Portland, OR. My favorite part of teaching has always been centered around building relationships with students and providing a positive approach of support. Most importantly - I like to have fun while learning with our students. I grew up in a small town in Idaho and I’m a proud Bronco from Boise State University. I love and live in the outdoors; camping, hiking, backpacking, kayaking, fishing and exploring National Parks. I just bought a home in Bonney Lake, so I guess I’m officially a Washingtonian! Heidi Morris, Vice Principal Joined RMS Staff 10/4/2013 Hello RMS Community! This is my 8th year as Vice Principal at RMS. I love working with the middle school students. The energy level is invigorating and rewarding. Each day brings about new learning for myself and those around me. Thank you for allowing your students to enrich the lives of all who enter the doors at RMS. When I am not at work with your children I am spending the time with my own two kids finding new parks to play in, a new trail to walk or just finding ways to laugh and enjoy time together. -
Fostering a Positive Climate in Our Schools
Fostering a Positive Climate in Our Schools Maya Vengadasalam Reproduced with permission of Kent School District Kent, Washington © 2005 BRYCS is a project of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops/Migration and Refugee Services (USCCB/MRS) 1-888-572-6500/ [email protected]/ www.brycs.org Fostering a Positive Climate in Our Schools by Maya Vengadasalam The African proverb, "It takes a village to raise a child," is an oft-mentioned phrase when addressing our education problems in the U.S. The phrase becomes even more critical to students and families of foreign descent where success is predicated on understanding cultural nuances. The Grand Rapids Public Education Fund in its Grand Rapids Strategic Plan has stated the elimination of discrimination as one of the 25 indicators of "progress and success" for schools and communities.1 At the Kent School District in Kent, Washington, a committee called the Alliance for Diversity and Equity (ADE) has been formed to address curriculum, student learning, staff development, and disproportionality issues by unveiling a model results-based accountability plan. The plan, among other objectives, organizes parent/family/community groups, school administrators, and students of diverse ethnic backgrounds to focus on studying issues of concern to the community and schools, particularly of students who are economically poor, have experienced discrimination, or have performed poorly in the achievement tests. Many of us recognize that lack of education often subverts understanding. At its core, such endeavors as the ADE aim to raise awareness, increase understanding, and support the traditions of various cultures. But what has confounded many in our South Asian community is a growing disconnect in how students, parents and the schools view accountability in the well being and educational achievement of students. -

Not only is the district adding two new schools, it is also repurposing four schools and reassigning staff and students districtwide. Only two schools will have the same principal next year, but both will be in new buildings. Each of the other principals will be at different schools next Assistant Superintendent Lori Cloud, left, and Purchasing Agent Cindy Darcy show a sampling of spreadsheets that are year, as will the majority of the district’s guiding the transition this summer to the school district’s new schools and grade configurations.
