March came in like a lamb and went out with a fury we've never seen! And we're certain that many of you are wondering: what do we do now?
While we don't have all of the answers to your questions, we'll try to help get you oriented as we enter this new world of virtual learning we now find ourselves in. Please understand that this is new to us too; so we'll make mistakes as we go. But we'll always ask the question, "Is it good for kids?" when making decisions. Please let us know how we're doing, what you and your families need, and what we can do to support you and your children. That includes the teachers, counselors, and the admin team - we're all here to help you navigate this journey.
The governor has closed schools until at least April 24th, so we know that much. Beyond that, our schedule is uncertain. Obviously all RAHS activities until that time are canceled. When we have more to offer in terms of future activities, we'll let you know.
We realize this is especially difficult for our seniors. To the class of 2020: we pledge to do whatever we can to make your last months with us as awesome as possible. We'll keep you updated if anything changes with our plans for things like senior night and graduation.
- The RAHS office will be staffed on Mondays and Wednesdays from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Outside of those hours, please leave us a voicemail, or email us and we'll get back to you as quickly as we can.
- During these same hours, staff will be available to hand out any materials students need to pick up. Teachers will let students know if there is anything waiting for them in the commons to be picked up.
- Breakfast and lunch will be available for curbside pickup on Mondays and Wednesdays from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30pm, in front of the building along with other school locations.
- Please check the RAHS website for updates and important information regularly.
- We will have our scheduled spring break from April 6th to April 10th. Please take this time to step away from school and find some time to relax, refresh and rejuvenate. We'll try to do the same!
As far as school work goes, let's call it virtual days for the time being. Teachers have been asked to deliver lessons online using Google Classroom in each content area that keep our students active and engaged. We also realize how difficult and stressful this new structure is so we're asking teachers not to overwhelm their students. We fully understand that many students have family and work obligations that need to be considered. Our goal is to help our students maintain a connection to school and their educational goals, while helping support their social and emotional needs in the process. Again, please let us know how we're doing as the semester rolls on. We're all in this together, and we value your input and feedback!
Please take care, be safe, and stay healthy!
Rob Taylor, Principal

RAHS Local Scholarship Program & Senior Honors Night
:
While it is our district's hope and intention to hold the 2020 RAHS Local Scholarship Program Senior Honors Night on May 13th, we must realistically consider that the unprecedented situation involving
COVID-19
may require us to rethink our plans to ensure the health and safety of our communities. As our schools practice protective measures per state and federal recommendations, we understand that scholarship organizations and selection committees are restricting contact and group gatherings for their safety and well-being also. Despite these challenges, district staff look forward to working with scholarship sponsors and selection committees to help facilitate the selection and recognition of our Class of 2020 award recipients as originally planned. If and when our scholarship program plans need to be adjusted, we will communicate any changes and updates with students, families and sponsors via email, telephone and/or our website. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any additional questions or concerns.
Summer School:
Watch for more information later this spring regarding summer school options at RAHS. Updates will be posted on the RAHS Counseling
website
