Letter to Families and Staff

We are excited to invite you and your family to a meaningful evening on Monday, January 27, 2025, at the Ravena-Coeymans-Selkirk (RCS) High School Library! In partnership with the Town of Coeymans, RCS is hosting a community forum focused on the power of volunteerism and how we can work together to make a positive impact.

This event will take place from 6:30 PM to 7:45 PM and is designed to bring students, families, and community members together to explore volunteer opportunities, build character, contribute to strengthening local organizations, and improve the community as a whole.

This is an exciting opportunity for everyone in our community — students, families, and community members — to share ideas, connect with others, and take action toward building a stronger, more engaged community.

Space is limited, so please be sure to complete the registration form below if you’d like to attend. Once registered, you’ll receive an email confirmation by Thursday, January 23rd.

We look forward to seeing you and working towards uniting and empowering our community!

During this time, our RCS HS students will not be in attendance unless they have a scheduled January Regents and Midterm Exam during the week of January 21 through January 24. Please note: If students are not scheduled for a review class, Regents, or Midterm Exam, they are not allowed to be in the building (excluding BOCES/CTE Students).To view the High School schedule and other important information like transportation during exam week please click here.
