“Our daughter effortlessly transitioned into her middle school environment. I credit this to her love of learning, respect for others and self-confidence that she acquired during her years at RJA."

PATIO welcomes you

Dear SMDS-RJA Families:

PATIO is YOUR parent-teacher organization. It is run by you...supports the things you care about...and is successful because you care! As a parent at this school, you are a valued PATIO member, and we welcome and encourage your involvement.

We gather as a parent community on the first Friday of each month at 8:30 a.m. While you sip coffee, you'll hear from teachers, from students, from administrators and from PATIO about what's brewing here at RJA. We hope you'll come! Our gatherings won't be the same without you!

We have a great year of community building in store, and in the process, we'll provide a great service to the school. Our fundraisers support RJA's extensive student programming, holiday celebrations and the fine arts curriculum. We provide grants to teachers and support continued education. Our caring committee supports our community in times of crisis and in times of joy. Last year, our gift made it possible for each class to have a day of art immersion.

You can find challah sponsor forms, volunteer sign-up forms and other PATIO materials on this website.

Looking for something you can't find? Want to volunteer? Have an idea? Please contact us! We look forward to a fantastic year!
