Dear RCMS Parents and Guardians,
SAFE Club will be running a Summer STEM Camp starting on May 27th. The camp will be held at Pahrump Valley High School due to continued construction at RCMS. It will run from May 27th to June 18th, Monday through Friday, from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM, except for the first and last weeks. The first week will run only from May 27th to May 29th.
This camp is open only to currently enrolled RCMS 6th-, 7th-, and 8th-grade students for the 2024-2025 school year. Students who did not finish the year are not eligible to attend the program.
Breakfast and lunch will be provided. Transportation may be available depending on your home address and approval through NCSD Transportation for the summer program.
The program will be focused on STEM project-based learning activities. Activities that we plan to work on may include flying drones, solar transportation, hydraulic arms, gravity-based activities, hot air balloons, magnetic transportation, bridges, gravity jousting and other activities.
Some of the goals of this grant for the summer program are as follows:
Provide academic support activities
Provide enrichment activities
Reading and math-supporting activities
Reading proficiency
Certified teachers will assist students with assignments and reteach necessary skills. This summer STEM camp will provide students with extended instruction during the summer to help retain prior learning and introduce new concepts.
There will be some buses available to students. New Summer SAFE bus applications will need to be filled out and submitted on time. Transportation limits will not allow all students to be provided with transportation. Summer bus stops may not match regular school bus stops and may be significantly farther away than the regular stops during the school year. Students who are not riding the bus must be picked up in the back parking lot of PVHS, between the baseball fields and the two-story building, no later than 12:05 PM.
The RCMS SAFE Summer STEM Camp will be based at the Pahrump Valley High School campus.
