Hello Mustangs!
In case you missed it, this week
Dr. Staven, Lake Washington Superintendent, announced that LWSD has risen to the
2nd largest school district in the state, 2nd to Seattle School District. With
11 continual years of growth, and your ongoing support, RHS PTSA continues to bring many great opportunities to our students through child advocacy and the enrichment of the school experience. Students, parents, and families are our cornerstone and we are grateful for all who help make RHS an outstanding place for learning and broadening the high school experience!
Thank you to all parents and educators who attended our
November PTSA General Membership meeting! If you haven't attended a meeting yet this year, mark your calendar for the next General Membership meeting,
January 8, 2020 (6PM in the RHS Library). It is a great time to hear from your
PTSA, ASB, RHS staff, admintrators and Principal VanderVeer.
With the shorter daylight hours and the cooler temps, it is a great time to focus locally and attend some of the wonderful happenings at RHS!
Please mark your calendars with all of our RHS events and show your support. Every student at our school matters: We make a difference when we are present. Let’s get out and show them!
|
|
There are also wonderful community events featuring speakers, films, expert panels, and brown bag lunch discussions at the district level aimed at issues and concerns that we all face every day.
Please take the time to attend these events, bring your student and get involved with all the resources that are available to you!
|
|
Thank you for your continued support!
GO STANGS!
Sincerely,
Meredith Cain and Michelle Obenaus
RHS PTSA Co-Presidents

SENIOR SENDOFF
JUNE 12th AT 7 PM IN THE REDMOND HIGH SCHOOL GYM
Mark your calendars for this wonderful, family-friendly celebration honoring the Class of 2020! This is an event for ALL seniors and their families; an opportunity to share memories of high school and be together one last time before the official graduation ceremony!
Seniors will have an opportunity to reflect upon their high school years, share talents, inspire peers, or give thanks to those who have made an impact in their lives.
All seniors are encouraged to consider sharing - a song, dance, poem, story, quote, visual arts, a photograph, or any accomplishments - or they can just simply attend and enjoy the evening with friends and family.
To make this annual event amazing,
we are looking for parents to join the committee to assist in the planning and creation of this wonderful evening. We will need help with all aspects of the event to make it a special celebration. If you are interested in helping plan this event, please email us!

ARE YOU READY FOR INCLEMENT WEATHER?
When emergency conditions such as snow and ice or windstorms result in school schedule changes, the district will notify families directly through our SchoolMessenger automated phone system. You can learn how to know when school is delayed or cancelled on the School Closures and Late Starts page of the district website. Families with students who ride the bus should watch their mail in mid-November for a postcard with information about their bad weather bus route. Want to make sure you receive alerts about school closures right away? Sign up on Flash Alert to be notified about the latest school delay and school closure news from LWSD.
