Dear Rickover Community,

It is with great pride and excitement that I write this letter to you as the Principal of Rickover Junior High School. I am excited and honored to have the opportunity to lead a school with such a rich tradition both in and out of the classroom.

At Rickover we believe that it is important for our students to be connected to school through positive relationships and a strong sense of community. I believe that every student can learn and be successful if provided the right supports and opportunities. Our teachers and staff are committed to providing all students with an appropriate and challenging educational experience in a respectful environment that fosters learning and growth.

A crucial part of success for students is attendance. As a parent or guardian it is essential for you to maintain an attitude that “Every Day Counts” for students to be in school and ready to learn each day. At Rickover, we will assist in helping parents and families understand the importance of instructional time and school attendance. Additionally at Rickover, we recognize that family and community support are integral to our success. This is why we encourage you to join us a volunteer through PTO. Parents/Guardians play the most important roles in a student's success and I invite you to collaborate with us in your students' education.

When we take the time to strategically plan, forge positive relationships, celebrate our achievements, and continue to build on our successful foundation, we can foster a learning environment where our entire Rickover community thrives.

Rickover Junior High School is a place where success awaits. I am truly honored to be a part of the Raider Community.

Have a great school year!

Dr. Kimberly Kimbrough

Principal

Rickover Junior High School
