AVID is accepting applications and conducting interviews to fill open spots in our classes for 3rd trimester and the 2024-2025 school year.

Senior Ads
We have a fantastic opportunity for you to celebrate your senior or honor your graduating student with a timeless keepsake—a personalized senior or baby ad in this year's yearbook.
Our yearbook team is working tirelessly to ensure that the yearbook is not just a collection of photos but a reflection of the unique experiences and memories that have shaped this school year. One of the most cherished sections is the senior and baby ads (also known as recognition ads), where families can leave a lasting message for their graduating student.
Why consider a Senior or Baby Ad?
Personal Touch: Your heartfelt message and carefully selected photos will add a personal touch to your student's yearbook, making it a treasured keepsake for years to come.
Celebrate Achievements: Highlight your student's achievements, milestones, and growth throughout their academic journey.
Capture Memories: The yearbook is a time capsule, and a personalized ad allows you to capture and preserve precious memories.
To create your ad, simply visit Jostens Yearbook Ads or https://www.jostens.com/yearbooks/students-and-parents/yearbook-ads. The deadline for submissions is January 20, so don't miss the chance to be a part of this special tradition.
If you have any questions or need assistance with the ad creation process, the Jostens website provides helpful resources. Additionally, feel free to reach out to our yearbook team at christina.owen@isd623.org for any further assistance.
Thank you for your support in making this year's yearbook a memorable one. We look forward to seeing your personalized ad grace the pages of the yearbook.

Senior Party
The next Senior Party planning meeting is Tuesday, January 16, at Lucky's 13 from 7-9pm. Join a committee of parents planning the annual Senior Party for Saturday June 1, 2024! Help us celebrate the class of 2024!! Tip: It's a great idea to volunteer for this committee when your student is in 9th, 10th or 11th grade, so you know what the party is all about. Then, let other parents take the lead when you have a senior! For more information check out our website, our instagram page or contact jamie.crandall@isd623.org
Thank you to Jersey Mike's for the generous donation to support RAHS students and staff! We appreciate your partnership!
The Career & College Center has put together our own website!

Please take a look!

Students and families can learn about all of the programs offered and detailed information about what 916 Career & Tech is by visiting the 916 Career & Tech section of our registration website.
There is also an opportunity to go to 916 Career & Tech on Wednesday, January 17th. Students and families are invited to attend the 916 Career & Tech Showcase between 3:00-5:00 pm. Please see the attached poster for details.

Attendance:
Please report all absences and attendance information to the RAHS Attendance Line (rahs-attendance@isd623.org or 651-604-1465). Regular and on-time attendance is crucial for children's learning!
Students Leaving School During the School Day
Please remember that if your child is not feeling well during the school day, they must go through the Health Office. The Health Office needs to contact you for permission and write your child a pass to leave. If your child needs to leave for a planned appointment, the attendance office will give them a pass. Leaving the building without a pass from the health office or the attendance office will result in an unexcused absence.
Medications:
If there are medications that need to be given at school, please email the nurse for more information, or stop into the Health Office. The Health Office staff needs to confirm health conditions, paperwork, medications, and expiration dates.
COVID Updates
COVID Isolation Guidelines are the same as last school year. If your student tests positive for COVID they must stay home for 5 days (from symptom onset or date of positive test, whichever is first). Please notify the Health Office if your student tests positive. Health Office staff will talk through the dates and confirm the timeline. Students can return to school on day 6 and will be required to wear a mask at school on days 6-10.
There is no quarantine of close contacts; please send your student to school each day that they feel well.
We still have COVID tests. Contact the Health Office if you would like one sent home with your student.
