Hello Mustangs!
Welcome back everyone after a crazy week! The PNW did not disappoint with yet another snowy January. We hope you all had a safe few extra days to enjoy the snow.
As you know, the three snow days have changed our end of semester schedule slightly, allowing for teachers to provide necessary instruction time.
Please check the link below for the updated end of semester schedule.
We’d also like to thank everyone who attended our Suicide Prevention event on Thursday and would like to thank everyone who made that possible.
Please mark your calendar for two more amazing PTSA events coming up soon:
The Eastlake High School PTSA is sponsoring
Parenting Tool Box For The Teenage Years, with break out sessions on The Teen Brain, Drug and Alcohol Abuse, Social Media, and Building Strong Families.
Wednesday, January 22, 7-9 PM, in the Eastlake Performing Arts Center.
Timberline Middle School is showing the next chapter of the
Screenagers
movie on
Tuesday, January 21st at 6pm at Timberline Middle School. Please use the link below to get your free tickets.
Thanks for supporting our PTSA and remember to get involved wherever you can; we want YOU to be a part of our RHS PTSA!

The RHS PTSA is partnering with the math department to collect donated used graphing calculators to help provide a class set for those in need. The math department can use either the Texas Instruments 84 or the Casio FX9750. Calculators can be dropped off in the front office and no need to have fresh batteries. Thank you so much supporting this program and helping RHS to Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle!
