The Golden Apple

Happy Hispanic Heritage Month RLAS-116! We hope you've had a great first month of school. We have a lot of fun events planned this fall, so please read this newsletter in full to stay up to date on recent changes and important dates.

We are excited to invite you to a special tour of Round Lake High School as part of our Homecoming festivities! Come explore the school, reminisce about your time here or just see the wonderful improvements made over the years.

Date: Saturday, October 5, 2024

Time: 3 sessions available: 1-2pm, 2-3pm, or 3-4pm

Location: Round Lake High School, Main Entrance

We hope you’ll join us to celebrate our school spirit and reconnect with old friends. Anyone attending the tours will register at https://bit.ly/RLHSTours.

If you have a middle or high school student, please make sure you are using our new communication tool, Remind. Middle and high school teachers have already been sending messages home about assignments and reminders. Please make sure you are checking your email for messages from Remind with your teacher's name, and your spam or junk mail if you have not received any. For more information (such as how to change your notification preferences, set your preferred language and more), please visit our website or see the attached document below.

This year, we implemented a new cell phone policy that requires students at our middle and high schools to put their phones away during class. Our school leaders have already noticed in the first month of school that a majority of students are more focused and present during class. We want to say thank you to our families for encouraging your students to be cell phone free during class!

Homecoming festivities are almost underway! We are so excited to show our Panther Pride and hope you will join us in recognizing our district and our incredible students. Homecoming week begins this Saturday with the parade at 10 a.m. on Cedar Lake Road. We hope to see you there!

Please join us in our annual Hispanic Heritage Celebration Friday, Oct. 11 at the Round Beach Cultural and Civic Center starting at 6:30 p.m.

This year's Hispanic Heritage Month Celebration theme is "Our History on Canvas." Join us for performances by students, staff, and special guests as we celebrate iconic and beloved Hispanic artists!
