Tutoring Next Week

There will be tutoring on Monday at both RHS and 9GA. However, there will not be tutoring on Tuesday at either building as that is the day before Thanksgiving break.

Visit from West Point Academy

Cadet Michael Berlingieri, RHS alumni class of '22, is visiting on Monday November 20th, during all lunches, to represent West Point, the United States Military Academy. He will be set up in the main commons area near the auditorium. On behalf of USMA and the Cadet Public Relations Committee (CPRC) program, Michael will be here spreading the word about the CPRC outreach program, West Point and all that they have to offer. If you've ever had questions about attending West Point he is here to answer them. Make sure to stop by to say hi.

Special Board of Education Meeting

At its regular meeting on November 13, the Romeo Board of Education placed the renewal of two millage proposals on the February 27 presidential primary ballot. The first is a renewal of the current sinking fund millage used for the continuing improvement and repair of school facilities. The second is a renewal of our existing “non-homestead” operating millage that applies only to businesses, second homes, rental properties, and vacant land. Michigan law requires the full levy of this operating millage for school districts to receive their full share of State aid. Read the press release or FAQ for more information or go to the election page on the district website.

SAT Prep for Juniors

Please see the 2023-2024 SAT Prep Flyer from the MISD regarding upcoming SAT prep. If interested, you may wish to register early as sessions fill quickly.

Early College

RHS sophomores are invited to apply to the Early College of Macomb. Early College sent information home to all 10th grade families in early November. This is a program for highly motivated students to attend RHS and Macomb Community College during 11th and 12th grades and then attend Macomb their 13th year. Interested students and families should plan on attending one of Early College's information sessions on November 28th at the Macomb Intermediate School District or November 29th at Macomb Community College's South Campus. Information about the program, eligibility requirements, and the application process will be shared at these meetings. Additional information about the Early College of Macomb program can be found on the Early College website and in their brochure. The application is online through the Early College website. The application window is open December 1, 2023-January 12, 2024.

Finkel Force

As I am sure many of you are aware by now, an Indian Hills student, Ryder Finkel, has been diagnosed with a rare form of inoperable brain cancer. There now is a "Finkel Force" shirt being sold by FAMS with the proceeds going to the Finkel family. Our Romeo Lions Club has purchased a t-shirt for every student and staff member at Indian Hills so that everyone can show their support for Ryder and his family. It would be amazing to see other schools in the district wearing these shirts as well. If interested in getting your own "Finkel Force" shirt for you and your family, please visit: https://stores.inksoft.com/finkel_force/shop/home

If you choose to purchase a shirt, RHS will be collaborating with Indian Hills Elementary to schedule a Finkel Force day (or days) to show support of Ryder. We'll share more information as the date nears (and FAMS knows how many shirts they need to make).

Last Call Before Costs Go Up

Graduation will be here before you know it! Only about half of our Class of 2024 has paid their graduation fee and/or ordered their cap and gown. This is the last call before costs go up. If you’re unsure if you/your child has paid, please contact Mrs. Schornack (sara.schornack@romeok12.org) to check.

• Link to pay graduation fee - This fee provides the student with 2 tickets for the graduation ceremony and helps to pay for graduation itself. This will also let us know how your name should appear on your diploma. Students that don’t pay this will not receive any graduation tickets nor be able to purchase additional tickets

• Link to cap and gown payment - Josten’s will be here Monday, October 23rd during lunch to collect orders or for any additional questions.
