Just One More Week of Summer
Except, of course, if your son or daughter is starting AP classes this week! (The schedule is below).
If you are new to us... Welcome! Please know that a Sunday letter like this comes every week and provides your main conduit to information at our two schools.
I invite you all to the Husky Pride Picnic here on campus next Saturday afternoon from 12:30 to 3:00 p.m. Returning families and students, who may be used to our weekday "Orientation Day," should especially note that the Picnic (a new event) this year doubles as that opportunity to sign up for After School Program and buses, as well as purchasing sports- and spirit-wear, etc.
|
Most importantly, the Husky Pride Picnic kicks off the school year by re-connecting with friends and families to begin building our 2017-2018 Husky Family!
Monday, August 28, is therefore Opening Day of School (no longer "Orientation Day"), with new families coming along a little earlier for their orientation before classes begin. Click on the link below to see the schedule.
After a number of years struggling to remain sustainable, RHP's After School Program (ASP) will look rather different this year, running on Monday and Wednesdays only (Wednesdays and Thursdays when Monday is a holiday). The fee for ASP has been cut by almost two-thirds, with a flexible drop-in option added for the first time. We would love to see significantly increased participation in this valuable support program. Further details available at the Husky Pride Picnic.
"Our Vision-The Next Ten Years" has been receiving enthusiastic endorsement from you all this summer. If you were not able to attend one of the summer meetings, you will hear more at September's Back to School Night and Grade-Level Parent Meetings. Find out when your Grade-Level Parent Meeting is by clicking the link below.
Finally, as our school's educational leader, I am compelled to strongly condemn the violence we have seen in Charlottesville this week and to express dismay and sadness at the lives lost. Please join me in reinforcing to our children the Husky Family's total rejection of hate and bigotry and their accompanying words, actions, and symbols. Conversations can go into more depth, and indeed they must, but this unmovable foundation has to be our starting point, then leading to respectful dialog.
Looking forward to seeing you again soon.
