WELCOME TO THE 2020-2021 SCHOOL YEAR!

RHS PTSA welcomes all families, students, and staff to the new school year! Your PTSA Board is diligently working to find ways to build strong relationships with the people we serve, including families, RHS Administrators and staff. Building these relationships gives us the opportunity to learn more about the needs of students and staff. Your PTSA supports students and staff with hospitality, department grants as well as programs such as SAT/ACT practice tests. Membership is the core of PTSA and without it we would not be able to provide support to the school. Please consider becoming a member of RHS PTSA, redmondhsptsa.org. Involvement, however big or small a member chooses, is a personal decision. We welcome your voice and time. RHS librarian, Greg Lawson needs volunteers on September 2nd and 3rd for laptop rollout. Laptop rollout is an important part of beginning the new school year and a great way to start building relationships. Keep reading for more volunteer opportunities. Lastly, plan to join us virtually on Wednesday, October 13th at 6:00 p.m. for our first membership meeting of the year.

ALL VOLUNTEERS at the school must be pre-approved by LWSD. Approval is valid for two years and applies to all schools in the district. Please fill our the application to make sure your approval is current, so you're ready to go!

Aug 29 - DONATE SCHOOL SUPPLIES

The RHS Pantry is a school-community based support system for students which offers pantry, fresh, personal care, school supplies, and snack items to supplement the meals they receive from the school district and to support them through the weekend. On Sunday, August 29th, they will be hosting a school supply drive where they are hoping to collect and fill as many new backpacks as possible with school supplies and snacks to get RHS students off on the right foot and show our support. If you can, please sign up to drop off items.
