SPECIAL THANKS TO OUR PTA FOR OUR NEW SIGN!
Welcome to Ralston Middle School A California Distinguished School
Ralston Middle School serves all sixth through eighth grade students in the Belmont/Redwood Shores School District. During the 2009-2010 school year we anticipate an enrollment of approximately 840 students. The Ralston staff provides a strong California standards-based instructional program. Every Ralston student receives instruction in the core subjects of language arts, history/social science, mathematics, science, physical education and health education. All students may select from a wide variety of elective classes.
Ralston students have the opportunity to participate in numerous extra-curricular activities. A comprehensive after-school sports program supported by School-Force provides team sports experiences in golf, basketball, cross-country, volleyball, tennis, and track and field. After school tutorial classes and homework groups are available three days per week for all grades. The PTA sponsors a diverse selection of clubs based on student and teacher interest. The clubs meet after school and are offered for a minimal fee. Our student body has an active student government, which sponsors spirit days, dances and other school wide activities.
Principal's Welcome Letter 2009-2010.
Dear Ralston 8th Grade Parents,
This is an exciting and bittersweet year for our 8th graders. As they move on to High School, they will be saying goodbye to Ralston Middle School. There are many activities planned for the last week of school to top off this memorable year including a trip to Great America, Promotion Ceremony and an 8th Grade Promotion Dance.
In order to enable us to have these events we are asking families to donate. Our PTA only partially funds these events so we need your help to cover the balance.
We are asking $15-$20 per family and gladly accept cash or checks (made out to Ralston PTA). All donations are tax deductible. We will have an envelope in the Ralston Office for you to drop off cash or check donations, or mail it to:
