Mandie was born and raised in Twin Falls. She enjoys playing Pickleball and dreams of one day traveling to Italy!

🔹 Why this career: She loves the school atmosphere, finds working with youth fulfilling (and entertaining!), and appreciates being on the same schedule as her son
🔹 How she wants to be remembered: As kind and thoughtful
🔹 Best day on the job: Any day she can be helpful to a student, teacher, or parent 💛
📣 Principal Note:
Mandie is an invaluable member of the office staff. She consistently demonstrate a willingness to help and maintain a welcoming, positive attitude, even when her workload is demanding, especially with our third secretary out on maternity leave since August. Her patience and kindness with everyone who visits the office create an excellent atmosphere. We are extremely grateful to have Mandie as part of the RSMS family!

🔥🐉 At O’Leary Middle School, Marion Johnston’s 8th grade math classes took on an exciting challenge—transforming How to Train Your Dragon images using dilations!
By applying the scale factor rule (x, y) → (7.2x, 5.2y), students enlarged each shape. ✏️📐
The results? Enlarged versions of the original artwork and a deeper understanding of math in action. The students were so proud to see their hard work come to life! 💡🎨

🚨 Reminder for all drivers:
When a school bus has its stop arm extended and red lights flashing, you must stop — from both directions and stay out of the “Danger Zone”
The school bus loading and unloading area is called the “Danger Zone.” Specifically, this is any side of the bus where the bus driver can’t see the child and, therefore, the child is in the most danger. These areas include:
10 feet in front of the bus, where the driver may be sitting too high to see a child
10 feet on either side of the bus, where a child may be in the driver’s blind spots
Behind the school bus
Those few extra seconds protect our students and save lives. ❤️
Let’s all do our part to keep kids safe during National School Bus Safety Week and every day!

She is always willing to jump in, whether it’s in a classroom, a planning session, or a hallway conversation–bringing a fresh perspective that helps teachers grow and thrive.
