RHS Weekly Newsletter

Good evening Romeo!

It's been a great first week, and we loved having the kids back in school. We're trying a new format for the newsletter this year, so please take a look.

Class of 2024 parents, as you already know (or will learn quickly) there is a lot of information that is special for senior families only. We dedicate a section of our newsletters (at the bottom) just for you all. We have a few things this week, so please scroll down to check it out.

Have a wonderful Labor Day weekend!

-Mr. Osebold

10th Grade Welcome Assemblies

Earlier today, all RHS 10th graders were officially welcomed to RHS via an assembly orchestrated by their 10th grade teacher team. The assembly focused on introducing their respective 10th grade teachers along with other important staff members in the building. Students were also briefed on general policies and ways to stay connected to RHS through various social media platforms. The presentations used in these assemblies can be viewed below:

Romeo Educational Foundation Golf Outing

The Romeo Educational Foundation is holding its first 2023 Kid/Parent Golf Outing. This should be a fun event for parents and kids.

Tutoring

RHS and 9GA offer free student tutoring after school, Monday - Thursday each week. Tutoring is in the RHS media center or 9GA collaborative space. We also provide bussing home after tutoring (3:40PM) on Mondays and Wednesdays. A schedule of teacher tutors will be shared after school starts. Tutoring will begin the week of September 18th.

School Safety

• During school hours, all visitors must check in at the main office. Any visitor going past the main office will have a quick background check done
• Hall passes are required for students, during class time, when students aren't in class
• Report safety concerns a high school staff member

Dress Code

What is appropriate for school is similar to what is appropriate for grandma's house or church:

• No alcohol, drugs, or sexual paraphernalia
  
• No undergarments showing
  
• No low-cut tops
  
• Shirt bottoms must rest below the belly-button (ie. no crop tops)

Attendance & Tardies

Students need to be in school on time, every day (unless there is a legitimate reason for an absence). Additionally, students need to be on time to each class. Here is our tardy policy:

• 5 tardies: Detention
  
• 8 tardies: Meeting with your academy principal and parent
  
• 10 tardies: ISS and loss of parking pass (if applicable)

RHS/9GA are Nut Alert Schools

Foods containing peanuts and tree nuts are highly discouraged. That means you shouldn't be bringing foods with peanuts or tree nuts to school. Additionally, we do not allow food in classrooms.
