💚💛 Kindness Week 💛💚

Dear Open High Family,

It's BSU Spirit Week! Trivia every morning, spirit every day! And let's make kindness the norm at Open by practicing it all week long. Small, collective acts can be revolutionary!

Report cards were distributed last week and mailed home. Please ensure that we have the correct contact information for you and your student by completing this brief form if you haven't already. All students and caregivers should also be connected to Open through Remind text messaging system.Text @openhig to 81010 to receive emergency messages. Winter weather appears to be coming our way so stay tuned.

Respiratory illness is on the rise. Thanks to all the parents and caregivers who call (804-780-4661); email (reldridg@rvaschools.net) and/or provide notes when your student must be out. We also appreciate mask wearing as needed.

PTSA

The Parent Teacher Student Association (PTSA) meets on the 2nd Tuesday of the month at 6:30 PM. Please become a member and make your voice heard. Your dues are an important funding source for our school, supporting field trips, teacher classroom supplies, student clubs, monthly breakfasts, senior scholarships, the fall festival, the end-of-the year picnic, teacher appreciation week, holiday treats, and more! Joining does not obligate you to anything although we are always looking for more help! Extra donations are also very much appreciated. Consider linking your Kroger Shopper's Card to the Open High PTSA.
