RHS Weekly Newsletter

Good evening Romeo!

It was another great week and a reminder of why we're so blessed to be a part of this community and school. Thank you for all you do to support our district.

There is one request we have for students and parents; please do your best to minimize disruptions to the students' school day. Absenteeism and tardiness have become real problems since the pandemic, and one of our school goals this year is to help our students build back their work ethic and reliability. We understand some appointments can only be scheduled during school hours, but any efforts to prevent students from being late, or leaving early, are greatly appreciated.

-Mr. Osebold
