Principal Welch's Weekly Update

RUHS administration received a call from a director in the Department of Transportation for the City of Tucson. He informed us that he has received complaints from the Sierra Estates Neighborhood Association, which is just south of our school. He asked that we inform our students/families that the City of Tucson will be doing random checks around that neighborhood to check if vehicles are parked correctly. If they are not, fines ranging from $125-200 will be given to vehicles parked illegally.

To ensure your vehicle is not issued one of these pricey tickets, carefully observe the follow guidelines when parking on neighborhood streets:

• Vehicles cannot park within 50 feet from fire hydrants
• Vehicles cannot park within 20 feet from stop signs
• Vehicles cannot park within 5 feet from driveways

They will also give ticket violations to vehicles parked the wrong way. The city will start doing random checks this week and will continue throughout the school year.

Picture Day for Rincon's underclassmen (grades 9-11) is coming up on 09/11/2024! Students will have their picture taken in their math classes.

Order before Picture Day to receive free shipping to the school. Order online! Rincon's Order Code is 86655PF.

To help reduce lines at lunch, we have reconfigured some of the lunch lines. One of the pizza lines was moved outside. Also, the snack line was separated from the other lines and also moved outside. We are continually stiving to better serve our students and believe that this will give students options while reducing the congestion that comes along with serving so many students at one time.

Three Lines Located Outside

1. Hot lunch line w various meal daily meal options
2. Snack line
3. Pizza Line

Four Lines Located Inside

1. Three hot lunch lines w various meal options
2. One pizza line w two registers

Please give a “shout out” to our amazing food services workers for the great job they do preparing and serving our meals, feeding almost 2000 students, daily. It typically takes them less that 10 minutes to serve the majority of our students, allowing the students time to relax with peers and enjoy their meal.

If you are a student or parent interested in joining the Rincon Site Council, please contact our facilitator, math teacher/site council lead, Marc Zelov for details. Site council will have four meetings throughout the year to discuss the ongoings of the campus, make decisions regarding undesignated funding, and connect as a leadership group.
