Receive Remind Updates from Mrs. Batista
Our Assistant Principal for IB Magnet Curriculum, Mrs. Batista will send out information and updates to all registered parents via your on-file email and/or phone numbers. She has also set up a text service to help keep students and families up to date using the Remind text messaging app. RHS IB students and parents can opt-in to receive these updates by sending the appropriate code listed below to Remind. Please note the Remind system will only allow a limited number of opt-ins per Remind "class", therefore it is very important that ONLY students opt-in to receive the Student texts (parents please DO NOT opt-in to receive the student messages). She respectively requests that ONLY ONE parent per household opts-in to the parent message so that all families may receive these texts.
To receive the Remind messages: 1) start a new text message; 2) type 81010 in the To: field; type the code listed below in the Message field.

How to Consult with Your School Counselor
School Counselors are still available to help our students and families with academic or social/emotional concerns. Because face to face meetings with school counselors are not possible during this period of social distancing, our RHS School Counselors have created a way for students to contact them to set up a virtual conference that will allow counselors to manage their schedules and to best accommodate everyone's requests. If your son or daughter would like to request a virtual conference, they can find the form on Edsby under My Groups, then Student Services. They just click to open the form, fill it out, and submit. The Counselor will then get in touch with them at their earliest convenience. Parents/guardians are encouraged to contact counselors via Edsby email.
