The Student/Parent Handbook is being re-written and will be available the week before school starts. We will let you know when it is posted on the website. Please refer to the dress code reminder in this newsletter as you shop for back-to-school clothing. Other information will be coming soon. Monday announcements will start up again next week.
A more detailed agenda for new student and freshmen orientation will be emailed this week. Please be sure to mark the evening of August 4 beginning at 5:30 p.m. with Mass for students and parents, followed by an information meeting and then sandwiches and ice cream in the cafeteria. We will expect to see the students at 9:00 a.m. on Friday.
I hope that all of you have had a wonderful summer. It has surely been a busy one, but I continue to thank God for the opportunity to serve the students, staff and Memorial community. We have been abundantly blessed, and most especially with the Faith that we share.

The Student Council of Reitz Memorial is currently collecting unwanted uniform clothing for the used uniform sale on August 3. This is a great opportunity to help others in our Memorial community by simply cleaning out your student's closet.
These gently used pants, oxfords, ties, belts, polo shirts, sweaters, sweatshirts, jackets, and other RMHS spirit wear will be sold, $1 per item. All donations can be bagged and brought to the Main Office or Holy Cross Hall. Please join us in this uniform exchange; your efforts support the Reitz Memorial Student Council and the Reitz Memorial community

Our Sophomores were the first class required to bring laptops to school in the 1:1 technology plan. Below you will find the laptop requirements for Freshmen entering Reitz Memorial High School this year. While Juniors and Seniors are not required to bring a laptop to school, Reitz Memorial believes it is beneficial for all students to have laptop capabilities in the classroom.
We are highly recommending the Lenovo ThinkPad 11e from Computers Plus. Literature has been presented to the Class of 2021, but the program is available for all students for the 2017-2018 school year. This laptop meets all school requirements and various purchase and lease options are available. It also has a spill-resistant keyboardmetal hinges for increased durability and low-cost replacement parts.

Dress Code for 2017-2018 School Year:
|
|
|
PANTS: The uniform pants are khaki in color. They are pleated or plain front. Parents need to purchase pants from Lands End or a Dockers brand. Be wary of others that may be marked "uniform approved." Pants must have belt loops and cannot have jeans-like stitching or patch pockets. Pants may not have split seams or frayed legs. Pants must be loose fitting, fit properly, and be worn at the natural waistline with a dress belt.
BLOUSES/SHIRTS: Blouses/shirts must be white or light blue oxford-style with a button down collar. They are to have long or short sleeves (three quarter sleeves are not permitted) and button all the way down the front. The male uniform includes a tie with oxford-style shirts.
During the 1st Quarter and the 4th Quarter, a school uniform monogrammed polo shirt may be substituted for the uniform blouse/shirt. The shirt must be white, royal or navy blue in color. It must be embroidered with the Reitz Memorial High School logo (the new logo and previous "fish" logo are both acceptable.)
