Students should check with their current English teachers for the date of the Counselor visits. Attendance on these days will be most beneficial in the process for students.

Thank you for working with our Counseling team in my absence, and reminder that if you need to speak with your child's counselor the assignments are:

We are all aware that Rincon is tightly situation between major roads and a quiet neighborhood. The neighborhood immediately located south of Rincon has no parking signs posted throughout the area. We continue to receive reports that drivers are not respecting those signs, making it difficult to for homeowners in the area to enter or exit their driveways.

Please represent the Rincon community with pride, respectfully observing traffic laws and signs in the area. Tucson Police will be patrolling the area, citing drivers who are not abiding by traffic/parking laws and signs. Beyond receiving costly citations, we want our community members to see the amazing talent and character that we see in our students. I urge you to demonstrate the same respect and civility you demonstrate to one another while here on campus, outside of our gates with our community members. Show our neighbors the very best of what we are made of in Ranger Nation!

Hello Rangers!

The Rincon Education Foundation was organized to help the teachers and students of Rincon during their time at Rincon. We are here to help find funding for teacher and administration through grants and donations. To this end, the REF initiated the 100 + Rangers for Rincon.

YOU'RE INVITED TO BECOME A RANGER FOR RINCON

THE MISSION

The Rincon Education Foundation was organized to help the teachers and students of Rincon during their time at Rincon. We are here to help find funding for teacher and administration through grants and donations. To this end, the REF initiated the 100 + Rangers for Rincon.

WHAT IS THE 100+ RANGERS FOR RINCON

The 100+ Rangers for Rincon is a Giving Circle created to facilitate meeting larger needs at Rincon High School.

How does a Giving Circle work? A giving circle is a group of people who come together with the common goal to pool money from their contributors to provide funding for specific needed resources identified by the teachers, students and administration that will make their educational experience the best it can be.

The members of the giving circle can continue to raise more money for future identified needs. This pooling allows a person's contributions to make more of an impact than any one person can.

This giving circle will have a meeting 3 times a year.
