Hey Gang!!!

Need help setting up and breaking down The Sloop Fair that is held at the Congregational Church downtown. The big white one, blue doors, with the clock and bells. 12 School Street to be exact!

Here is what I have for Community Service Credits this summer:

Friday July 12 Set up tables, bring out items to sell, set up stuff 7:30 am

Friday July 12 Clean up, break down area, whatever they need 2:15pm

Saturday July 13 Same as Friday morning

Saturday July 13 Same as Friday afternoon

Each session will take about an hour depending on how many kids show up BUT for every hour you give me, I will give you 5. Great way to get some hours taken care of.

If you are interested please let me know, share your cell number so I can text you as a reminder when we get closer to fair time.

You can also text me at 978-767-1562 (make sure you identify who you are)

If you check your email daily, I can also email you. Whatever you prefer.

Thanks for your help and the church family is always grateful!!

Community Service is a Graduation Requirement! Class of 2024 needs 35 hours and all other Classes need 50 hours. Forms are available in the RHS Front Office and Outside of Guidance. Opportunities are available on the RHS website under Community Resources. If you have any questions please contact Ann-Marie Luster at aluster@rpk12.org.

Class of 2024:

Time to complete your Graduation Survey! The Guidance office needs some information from you regarding your future plans. Completion of the survey is a requirement in order to receive your cap and gown.

Log into Naviance and complete the Graduation Survey to provide your future plans for after graduation (work, college, military, gap year, etc.). For those attending college, we also need to know your final choice so that we can send them your final transcript in late June.

When you log into Naviance, the survey is listed on your home page as an "Important Task or To-Do". Alternatively, you can access it by clicking on "About Me" > "Surveys from my School".

Class of 2025

The August SAT day is now open to register. We know several of you that would like to change the June 1st date, due to the prom, so now’s the time to make that change and secure a seat for August!

SAT REGISTRATION
