Principal Welch's Weekly Update

Thank you to all of our families who weathered the rain to attend our Open House!

Don’t forget, if you are interested in signing up to take the PSAT, the deadline is August 16th. There are flyers in the hallways with a QR code you can use or you can stop by the college and career center to sign-up. See attached flyer for more information.

If you are someone who likes to attend Rincon sporting events, whether it’s to support the band, color guard, cheerleaders, or competitions, you can save a lot of money by purchasing a 2024-2025 Sports Pass, which allows you entry to sporting events at Rincon for the entire school year. For families who have students who participate in more than one sport, this is a bargain. Sports passes for the entire school year are $30 and can be purchased in the finance office.

All freshmen will have their hearing and vision tested by our nurses during their English classes on August 15th. If your child wears glasses or contacts, please make sure he/she has them on this date.
