RRHS Update - Week of 6/10/2024

On behalf of the faculty and staff of RRHS, we wish to remind our community of the importance of time over the summer to spend time with family, relax, and find opportunities to enjoy the outdoors. We look forward to an exciting return in August!

View the Supporting Mental Health over the Summer attachment from our UMHT for ideas and resources on supporting your student’s mental health during the break.

Parents/guardians,

Please be advised if your child has medication in the Health Office, the medication(s) will need to be picked up on the following dates and times:

June 14th : 4pm-5-pm

June 17th : 8:30am-12pm, 3pm- 4:30pm

Free and Reduced Lunch Benefit 2024-2025 SY

Please note that the portal to complete this application on LINQconnect.com is expected to open in August for 2024 - 2025 SY. All families are required to complete a new application for this benefit every school year. Once the application is processed, and if approved, you will receive an eligibility letter from school nutrition. Families that may not need to reapply are only those who have received updated confirmation of automatic qualification from school nutrition. These directly certified students qualify through programs like McKinney Vento, SNAP, income-eligible Medicaid, and TANF. If you participate in the programs pasted above and do not receive a letter confirming your enrollment in the F.A.R.M program in August, or for any further enquiries, you can also contact School Nutrition Services on 540 751 2690.

McKinney Vento 2024-2025 Application.

Please remember that every student who is currently approved for McKinney-Vento and wants to remain eligible for services next school year must reapply. Parents, guardians and unaccompanied students will need to complete the Permission Click application that is located on the McKinney-Vento website , ensuring that they are choosing the correct school year on the application. For families with multiple students enrolled in LCPS, they must submit one application per student. The application can be translated and completed in the families preferred language. For further questions, you may also contact the McKinney Vento Team at 571-252-6523. McKinney-Vento applications for school year 2024-2025 will not start being reviewed until on or after July 1, 2024 in the order they are received.

Advanced Math Courses - Summer Assignments

Students that will be learning Algebra 2 / Trig, Pre-Calculus, AP Precalculus, AP Calculus AB, AP Calculus BC, or AP Statistics next year have been assigned summer work to ensure they are properly prepared for this advanced level of rigor and pace. Teachers have already provided these printed assignments to students in class, and they are also posted here: https://www.lcps.org/Page/236635

If you have decided to take on one of these challenging math courses next year, please be sure to complete all practice in writing before returning to school in August. Enjoy your summer!
