Dear Robert Hunter Families,

Our students continue to grow socially and academically each and every day. This past week, students in grades K-4 finished their NWEA MAP testing. These scores will be available to parents in the Genesis parent portal in the upcoming weeks. If you are not able to log in to Genesis, please let the office know and we will assist you.


Thank you for your ongoing support of our students and the RH community! Together, we can help all students to be successful.


Please note that school is closed on Monday, Jan. 20th in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.


Jessica Braynor and Lindsay Shirvanian
