The End Is Near
As our calendar rolls into May we can see the end of another school year coming soon. And what a crazy, virtual end it has been. Our last day with all RAHS students is May 22nd. The 2019-2020 school year will be remembered, and written about in our history books. 

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to our students and staff for their awesome work during these very difficult times. It has been an honor and privilege to be part of the RAHS family these past several months. We were forced into some very uncomfortable situations and I have seen so many students and staff rise above, and do fantastic things. 

We are putting together a virtual program for our annual Senior Honors Night, which will be ready to air in late May. We certainly want our honor students, valedictorians, and salutatorians to be recognized. We also want to share who from our class of 2020 has received scholarships to colleges and universities.

Obviously we will not be having our traditional graduation ceremony in the gym at RAHS on May 22nd, as was scheduled. But we will have a celebration for the class of 2020; we promise you that! We don't yet know whether it'll be virtual - with a diploma drive through, or getting together in July or August with the Governor's approval. We will figure it out and share our plans with you as soon as possible. 

Registration has been completed and the master schedule is being built for the 2020-2021 school year. Student schedules will come out this summer and we will set up times for students to work with counselors for any necessary changes, either virtually, or in person, if allowed in July or August.

This COVID-19 thing has taken us on a wild ride, and I am not entirely confident that we have seen the last of its effects yet. Please stay tuned after school is out, and during summer break for details about our plans for summer school and the 2020-2021 school year.

Take care, be safe and stay healthy!

2020-2021 Student Calendars
The 2020-2021 Student Calendar was approved by the School Board on March 16, 2020. Please note that there are two different year-at-a-glance calendars - one for elementary and middle school students, and one for high school students. 


Monthly
Tips
Standardized Testing:
  • College Board Advanced Placement (AP) Exams will be given to students online this year. Please view an AP webinar for parents recorded on 4/16/2020 for more information. If a RAHS student needs access to a computer or wifi for AP testing, contact Abby Imhoff, RAHS AP Test Coordinator, Mr. Matt Terry or Mr. Rob Taylor. Students who registered for an exam can choose not to take the exam, even the day of the exam, and receive a full refund without any cancellation fees this year. Please contact Abby Imhoff and/or see the College Board AP Updates website for more information.
  • ACT (grade 11): From the March 3rd testing date, several students have started to receive scores at their home addresses. For information on about your scores, please see Ms. Johnson’s website “ACT Resources” for helpful videos. These were also emailed to all junior students.

Class of 2020: Seniors have received monthly email updates and reminders about important matters to consider as graduation approaches. Information and assistance is also available from School Counseling Staff.
  • Senior Honors Night: Mr. Taylor and Mr. Terry are making plans to recognize our senior award recipients and our generous scholarship sponsors virtually sometime in May. Details will be posted on our website soon.
  • At the school board meeting on 4/20/2020, the decision was made to waive the community service graduation requirement for graduating seniors in the Class of 2020 due to the COVID-19 situation. The Educational Milestones in Skyward Family Access were updated accordingly to reflect this waiver.
  • Final High School Transcripts will be uploaded to the Parchment e-transcript service for graduates by mid-June. Students beginning college or technical school this fall are encouraged to submit their transcript order requests online by July 1. It is the student’s responsibility to complete this important step.
  • School Google & Skyward Access will be discontinued soon after graduation. Students should make plans now to save or transfer documents that they want to access later. Parents/Guardians also lose Skyward Family Access for graduates.

2020 Oakdale Electric Cooperative (OEC) Youth Leadership Congress (YLC) & Scholarship Program for Class of 2021 Juniors: The YLC has been canceled for this summer. Historically, OEC tied their scholarship essay contest into attending YLC. However, they still plan to provide students that intended to participate in YLC with a scholarship opportunity. Therefore, eligible juniors must complete and submit the OEC Participant Registration Form to Mrs. Moon by May 29, 2020 in order to participate. Up to 6 RAHS juniors may participate as long as their parents/legal guardians are members of OEC. After the registration form is submitted, Deana Protz with OEC will contact students directly after June 1st with more details.

2020-21 Student Schedules: School Counselors are finalizing next-year schedules for high school students. We anticipate that schedules will be available to view on Skyward Family Access in early June. Please check our website for updates.

Summer School: If RAHS is able to offer summer school, it will likely require a different schedule than past years. Once details have been finalized, we will share registration information with students and families and post updates on our website .

The RAHS Counseling Office hours and staffing are limited during the COVID-19 closure for the remainder of the 2019-2020 school year. Please allow additional time for processing of record requests. Please visit the RAHS Counseling website for more information or contact RAHS Counseling Staff directly with questions or concerns.
