Join Us in Building Something Great at Rodgers Middle Magnet!

Dear Stingray Families,

On behalf of the faculty and staff, I wanted to wish you all a wonderful summer! We have accomplished many great things together and we look forward to continuing the progress next year. We also welcome our rising 6th graders! We are so excited to have your child joining us as an incoming 6th grader and becoming part of our Stingray community.

As we begin planning for the 2026–2027 school year, we want to share an important opportunity to get involved and make a lasting impact on our school. At this time, we do not yet have a PTSA Board established for the upcoming school year.

First, we extend a heartfelt thank you to our 2025–2026 PTSA members. Their dedication and support helped create meaningful experiences for our students—from special celebrations throughout the year to supporting what became the largest and most well-attended 8th grade promotion ceremony in our school's history. Their work truly made a difference, and we are eager to continue that tradition.

If you are receiving this message, it means you have a student returning or entering 6th grade—and this is a perfect opportunity to get involved in your child's middle school journey.

Serving on the PTSA Board is a powerful way to:
-Support student celebrations and school events
-Build partnerships between families and the school
-Help shape a positive and engaging school culture
-Stay connected and involved throughout your child's middle school years

To support your consideration, I am attaching to the email version of this message:
-A recruitment flyer PTSA Volunteer Form
-A list of PTSA Board roles and responsibilities PTSA Roles
-A Google Form for interested participants (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeWvtrylD4CUjreOvsyZeABy8fxZo_UPt4WUXum2dAssOXTNg/viewform?usp=publish-editor) Having trouble with the form? Contact the current PTSA board: [email protected]

Please feel free to share this opportunity with other incoming families you may know. We are looking for committed partners who are ready to be part of this dynamic and growing opportunity at Rodgers.

Together, we can ensure that our students continue to have memorable experiences and a thriving school environment.

We look forward to partnering with you and welcoming your family into the Stingray community.

With appreciation,
Miriam Duran
Principal, Rodgers Middle Magnet School

Our talented students were formally recognized at the May 12th Board Meeting for their outstanding achievements—and for good reason! Rodgers Robotics earned an amazing 2nd place in the World Championship at RoboFest in Michigan, competing against teams from around the globe.

This accomplishment reflects our students’ innovation, teamwork, perseverance, and problem‑solving skills, as well as the dedication of their coaches and supporters. What an incredible example of what happens when curiosity meets commitment!
