Possible Snow/Cold Days

It seems all anyone could talk about this week was the possibility of a snow/cold day next week. As of today's weather forecast, it is unlikely there will be a snow/cold day next week. However, in case that changes, and seeing how next week is exam week, we have made a plan in the event of a snow/cold day.

Our normal protocol in the event of a snow day is to NOT change our red/white schedule. The reason we do this is that there are many events (meetings, field trips, speaker visits, etc.) that are intentionally scheduled on a red or white day. However, since next week is exam week and at the end of the semester, we can make an exception to that rule.

If we have a snow day next week, we would simply "push back" the remainder of the exam schedule. This will ensure students take exams in the same order you are preparing them for and teachers have half days the last two days of the semester for grading. Below is our current exam schedule and a few possible scenarios.

*Please note that a snow day next week WILL CHANGE when we have half days

Students, you should NOT expect a snow/cold day next week and be sure you are prepared for your exams. If a snow/cold day happens, then it will be a happy surprise.

2025-2026 FAFSA Form - UPDATE

The 2025-26 FAFSA is open. All current seniors planning to attend college should be working with their parents/guardians to complete this online application. The FAFSA form connects students to various forms of Federal and State financial aid programs. FAFSA is required for most State of Michigan financial aid programs, including the Michigan Achievement Scholarship. For example, students who complete the FAFSA will have access to free community college tuition through Michigan’s Community College Guarantee, which has no income criteria. Students can complete the FAFSA at StudentAid.gov. For additional information about the FAFSA, please visit our FAFSA resources page. The state of Michigan also offers helpful online presentations that families may register for.

SANP 2025

The Seniors of Romeo Community High School Class of 2025 will be graduating on Thursday, June 5th, 2025. In Romeo, the tradition has been that the proud parents of the graduates plan the Senior All Night Party. For years, this event has provided the seniors with an opportunity to celebrate with their classmates in a safe, alcohol-free environment, as it may be the last time many of them will see each other together as a group. This year's Senior All Night Party will be held on Sunday, June 1st at the Dave and Buster’s in Utica.

The Senior All Night Party committee is currently selling Class of 2025 Lawn signs for $25. The signs are available for pick up at 26 and Van Dyke. Please email Romeo2025SANP@gmail.com to coordinate a pickup. All proceeds go to the Senior All Night Party.

The Senior All Night Party committee is currently asking for donations for the event. All donations are tax deductible. If you have a business that may be interested in sponsoring or donating gift cards for prizes, please email us at Romeo2025SANP@gmail.com. All donations are greatly appreciated.
