We Need You – Join the PTSA Board

Our PTSA is still looking for some roles to be filled for next year’s board. Our highest priority is to find a President. Without a president, we don’t have a PTSA. The role of a president may seem huge but if you like being a leader, this may be the role for you. There is training to learn the official PTSA stuff and lots of other board members who will be there for support and guidance. The president position can also be filled with 2 people as Co-Presidents.

If you don’t think president is right for you, we are also looking for a Co-Treasurer, Family and Community Engagement VP, and a Membership Chair. We have a membership meeting in June and we would love to get you elected. If you are interested in joining our PTSA in any of these roles or would like more information, please contact nominations@redmondhsptsa.org.

Please plan to wear your cap and gown and arrive 10 minutes before the start time. As a group, you will walk through the school while the students and teachers cheer you on!

Freshman, Sophomore and Junior parents, we need your help to make our Grad Night Celebration a great success!

When it is your child's turn to celebrate with their graduating class, they may not want you at the party, plus as a senior parent, you'll be ready for a break! So why not volunteer this year on Thursday, June 13 to help RHS's 2024 graduating seniors enjoy a safe, substance-free night to remember. Loads of food, fun activities, and luxury coaches await the seniors, and our parent volunteers make it ALL happen. It is a great way to pay-it-forward and get a sneak peek into what Grad Night Celebration is all about! All volunteers must be LWSD approved.

Sign up here.

Creating compassionate and collaborative conversations with your kids keeps them coming back for more. Whether they are 5 or 15, they ultimately want to be seen, heard and understood. Let’s talk about how to keep the lines of conversation open so you can support and guide them.

Guest Speaker: Sheri Gazitt, M.A. from Teen Wise

Wednesday, June 5, 2024 from 7-8pm, over Zoom.

Congratulations Seniors!!

Seniors! Are you still looking for ways to fund for college? There's still money waiting for you, but you must APPLY! Below is a list of scholarships for you to consider.
