Welcome Back Everyone
 
After missing the first four days of the 2018-2019 school year, we finally get to begin. September 10th is later than usual for us to start the school year at RAHS, but we are so happy to be doing so!

The recent flooding has caused many hardships for our students, their families and our community. It will take some time to get life back to normal for those affected by the flooding. The staff at RAHS stands ready to help in any way we can, please let us know what you need.

We are so proud of the efforts put forth by our students, the staff, and community in working together to help those in need. This community is truly “Reedsburg Strong” and we will rise above these hardships together.

The beginning of any school year is a busy time, and this year will be more so due to the missed days. While the challenges will be many, I am certain our students and staff will overcome any, and every, obstacle in our path. Ultimately, what we’ll remember is how we succeeded in spite of the difficult circumstances that we faced.

Please check our social media and school website for updates on activities and happenings, such as homecoming, at RAHS for the month of September and we look forward to seeing you at school supporting our students.

The high school counselors are  Ms. Abby Imhoff ,   Ms. Ashley Johnson , and  Mrs. Heather Klang ;   Mrs. Renee Moon  is the school counseling secretary. Below are some key topics and reminders as the new school year begins:

  • Before school starts, all RAHS students in grades 10-12 should confirm their 18-19 class schedules on Skyward Family Access; the high school does not provide hard copies of schedules. Recent staff and room changes may have altered student schedules. (Grade 9 students will receive print-outs of their schedules as part of their first-day orientation on September 4.)

  • During the first week of September, school counselors help new students obtain class schedules and current students resolve scheduling issues.

  • Youth Apprenticeship students must obtain their program binder from Mrs. Klang and plan to attend a mandatory meeting on Tuesday, September 11 during Period 3 in the LGI with Shelley Drescher. YA students will receive an email notification and reminder shortly after school resumes.

  • A senior counseling meeting will take place Wednesday, September 12 during English classes. Class of 2019 students will receive personalized resource packets and information about college applications, transcripts, financial aid, career preparation, and more. Seniors are advised to meet individually with a school counselor after this meeting for about 15 minutes in September and October to ensure they are on-track for their future plans.

  • There will be an informational meeting with Ms. Johnson on Thursday, September 13 during RtI for students interested in Concurrent College Courses at UW-Baraboo or MATC during Semester 2. The application deadline for these programs is September 28.

  • There will be a financial aid meeting for senior students and their parents/guardians on Monday, September 24 at 6 p.m. in the RAHS Commons. Information about the FAFSA and scholarships will be presented. Families may begin completing the 2019-2020 FAFSA application beginning October 1.

  • Juniors and seniors who would like to attend the RAHS field trip to the Wisconsin Education Fair at UW-Richland on October 3 must attend a registration meeting during RtI on Tuesday, September 25. Field trip attendees must also submit a signed permission form before the fair. The registration and permission form deadline for the field trip is September 28.

  • Students who would like to be considered for early graduation must submit their signed letters to a School Counselor by Friday, September 28. Meet with a school counselor prior to this deadline for more information.

  • A junior counseling meeting will take place in early October during English classes. Class of 2020 students will receive personalized resource packets and information about educational and career planning, graduation requirements, testing, and more.

  • RAHS students are strongly encouraged to check their school email accounts on a weekly basis to stay on top of important information and reminders. Skyward Family Access, the high school website, and various forms of social media are additional tools and resources available for students and families. Contact Mrs. Moon if you need help accessing these resources, if you have any questions, of if you would like to schedule an appointment with a school counselor.
