Students at the LA County Fair

Ramona students were excited to be part of La Verne Day at the Fair on Sept 13^th.  Members of ASB and our WEB (Where Everyone Belongs) programs rode floats and showed their school spirit in the city parade.  The Ramona band took the stage in the community performance hall with a wonderful set performing a medley celebrating our armed forces.

Ramona has 9 New Teachers and a New Principal

Ramona welcomed nine new teachers and a new principal in the 2017-18 school year.  The science department has added John Madunich, Matt Pogan, and Jessica Wade. We have two new PE teachers with Rachel Powers and Cynthia Acedo. Our Specialized Services Department welcomes Shan Abkarian, Alma Amado, and Julie McKissick. Cuyler McDonald has taken over the Ramona Band.  We have also had a change in school leadership with James Ellis as the new principal at Ramona, who took over after Anne Neal’s ten-year tenure at RMS when she moved to the Bonita USD District Office as a Director of Curriculum and Instruction.  Congratulations to all of the new Viking Staff!

New Ramona Gym

The month of October will go down in the record books for Ramona Middle School as the PE department and students are moving into our new gymnasium. The gymnasium is a result of Bonita Unified community support of Bond Measure AB that made our 10,000 square foot gym a reality.  The gym boasts seating for nearly 1,400 and has two full-size regulation basketball courts. The gym is scheduled to be completed October 2017 with our volleyball team getting the honor of being our first team to compete!  Go Vikings!

Welcome Sixth Graders

Before the school year began, the Ramona WEB students welcomed our new sixth graders onto campus.  Throughout the year, WEB leaders will work with their sixth-grade buddies to help them acclimate to the middle school campus and connect them to school activities and resources. To kick things off right, sixth graders were invited to campus for fun games and activities that helped them learn more about the school.  Our sixth-grade Vikings are already doing great in class, and we look forward to seeing what they can achieve over the year!
