RHHS Wildcats News You Can Use

Wildcats!

I hope your week was as exciting for you as it has been for our student body! While homecoming week only comes around once a year, it truly embodies the culture and collective efforts of all to be a part of this week long opportunity of excitement! It certainly takes a village and those efforts were proven this week through decorated halls, activities at lunch, homecoming parade, football game and capped off with a homecoming dance.

As you read the items within the newsletter below, I want to be certain to turn your attention to a few items of interest to include upcoming events and other areas of interest that my directly impact you and/or your student.

As we enter mid-September, I continue to encourage all students, parents and teachers to check in on grades and make any necessary adjustments while there is still plenty of time left in the semester. If you are having issues connecting to PowerSchool for grade reviews please use the form at the bottom of this email to submit your specific request.

I look forward to seeing you at Curriculum Night on 9/25/23!

See Ya, Love Ya, Bye!
