Congratulations to the River Ridge Air Force JROTC cadets and Instructors for receiving the highest rating of Exceeds Standards on its triennial Headquarters inspection. This distinction ranks the program among the elite top 15 percent of more than 860 Air Force JROTC programs world-wide. The unit has now earned four consecutive Exceeds Standards ratings since the beginning of the program in 2011, an exclusive mark of distinction in CCSD. Cadet Colonel Aijaz Syed and Cadet Lieutenant Colonel Lillian Salmond were awarded the honors of Top Performers for their outstanding leadership and oversight of all preparations and training for the inspection. Major Marlon Ayers and Chief Master Sergeant Rodney Deese lead and oversee all operations of the unit to fulfil their mission of building citizens of character.

RRHS Beta Club has been asked to sponsor a family in Tennessee whose home and belongings were lost in the recent hurricane tragedy. Please help us in collecting donations to help this family of 5 get the essentials they need before the holiday. The family includes two teens, a 7 year old, and their parents who need items like shoes and clothing. Toys can also be donated for the youngest. Items can be dropped off in 2210 until December 12th. If you would like more information on the family or a way to give monetary donations to help with rebuilding their home, visit the following link: https://donorbox.org/cocke-county-tn-geoff-sons

Students - you are doing an amazing job - Keep up the great work. Teachers are thrilled with the increased student engagement!

As described in the many communications from Mr. Miller as well as the Board Briefs sent by Barbara Jacoby, among the changes to the Code of Conduct are consistent standards for appropriate student attire and appropriate student use of cell phones and other personal digital smart devices in schools, classrooms, and on the school bus. More specifics were shared in that communication which is available here, It may also be found here in 2024-2025 Student Code of Conduct or here - Handbook.

Lost and Found can be located in room 1201 and in the box behind the admin table in the cafeteria. Did you know that our special education department picks up the items through out the school? They wash the clothes and the cups every Friday to have them ready to be claimed😊. Items not claimed will be donated.

Please keep the nurse informed if your student has an epi pen or inhaler on their person. It is good to know this information in the event of an emergency. Also, please fill out appropriate forms to carry the medication at school.

PLEASE REVIEW MEDIATION POLICY. DO NOT SEND MEDICATION TO SCHOOL WITH your student prescription or OTC in baggy etc. They cannot carry or self-administer! IT MUST BE IN A NEW SEALED BOTTLE OR BLISTER PACK OR THE ORIGINAL PRESCIPTION BOTTLE, CURRENT AND NOT EXPIRED.

Thank you, Nurse Kim

We have a designated attendance email for any attendance notes and early check-out requests: rrhs.attendance@cherokeek12.net. Please use this email instead of emailing Mrs. Mondello or anyone else directly to ensure timely processing of notes. Sending notes through Canvas or Parent Square will delay the process.

Please be sure to familiarize yourself with the RRHS - Tardy Policy.docx

Especially, if you are a student driver, as parking decals are tied to tardies and attendance.
