Excessive Tardies Detentions: Being on time to every class is important!
In an effort to encourage students to be on time to every class, we first warn students with excessive tardies and then if it continues, students are assigned a one hour after school detention.
By students getting to class on time, it decreases the class disruptions and the teacher having to stop instruction to let students enter. Being on time is also a life skill we want our students to learn.
All RHS students need to show their current RHS ID to enter all athletic events.
