FALL SAT PRACTICE TEST
RHS PTSA sponsors SAT and ACT Practice Tests each year.
These full-length practice tests, administered by The Princeton Review, offer students the opportunity to practice test taking strategies and determine baseline scores prior to taking the official SAT and ACT college entrance exams. Tests results are provided back to the students in the form of a detailed Score Report that identifies individual strengths and areas for improvement.
Registration is open until one day(noon) before the scheduled exam. Registration may be limited based on facility or proctor constraints. So, please register early and/or volunteer to help proctor an exam.
These are open to any local, interested students. (Not just RHS students)

A BUSY YEAR FOR SUSTAINABILITY
The Sustainability team is busy planning for a productive year. Green Team has new members and Sports teams and Clubs are being scheduled to help with beautification around the campus.
There are plenty of opportunities for more parent volunteers on PTSA Sustainability team. If you have a passion for sustainable gardening or sustainability in general, please reach out to us. We have lots to do to bring RHS back to being the Greenest School in the District.
Congratulations are due to Redmond High School and it’s Green Team.
RHS was awarded the Level 3 distinction from King County Green Schools. This means the school maintains Levels 1 (Waste Reduction & Recycling) & 2 (Energy Reduction) as well Level 3 (Water Conservation).

COMING SOON
:
NO IDLE ZONES @ RHS
LWSD is implementing No Idle Zones at all schools this year. Signage has been placed at all Elementary Schools. Over winter break signage at Middle and High Schools will be installed. As the temperature drops the temptation to keep the engine running while waiting for students is high. Please use restraint by turning off your engine while waiting at school or neighborhood bus drop-off/pickup areas. PLEASE bring this topic to the attention of your driving age students. Sitting in a warm car before school is very tempting (and currently observed). Promoting the idea of saving money on gas may be an incentive to turn off the engine.
