Weekend

Thanks to our RWHS Assistant Principals!

The week of April 4 is National Assistant Principals Week. NASSP, the National Association of Elementary School Principals, and the American Federation of School Administrators have designated this week to honor assistant principals and acknowledge their key role in the achievements of schools and students nationwide—particularly in leading our learning communities through the unique challenges created by COVID-19.

NASSP is offering e-cards to that you can arrange to send to our APs as a thanks!

Wednesday is National Paraprofessional Appreciation Day when we celebrate the important work of paraprofessionals in our schools. Be sure to send a free Paraprofessional Appreciation eCard to thank these educators for their hard work and dedication to their students.

Paraprofessional Appreciation Day is observed annually on the first Wednesday of April and honors educators such as teacher’s aides and instructional assistants. Paraprofessionals often provide teachers with administrative support, work with students outside of the classroom, and provide one-on-one support for students who have disabilities or special educational needs.

Today, take the time to recognize these vital work our amazing RWHS paraprofessionals do and thank them for their contributions to our learning community!

Due to building closures before break, we are extending the deadline for the Local Scholarship application.

They are now due April 5 by 4:00 pm.

If you still need a packet, stop by the office ASAP!

This past Monday, the School Board authorized us to run a distance learning day for grades 9-12 on Wednesday, April 6th, 2022. Our 7th and 8th grade students will be in school that day and will be taking the Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments (MCA’s). Since the 7th and 8th grade tests are all day, this structure will allow us to better facilitate the testing and many of the accommodations that go with it.

The expectation for our 9-12 students is that they will attend each class online at its regularly scheduled time according to our Mon-Tues / Thurs-Fri schedule.

Our 7th and 8th grade students will attend in person and their schedule for testing is as follows:

MCA Reading 9:00 - 11:30am

Lunch 11:30 - 12:30pm

MCA Math 12:30 - 2:30

8th grade only: MCA Science 2:45 - 3:45pm

If you have any questions regarding the testing day, please contact the RWPS District Testing Coordinator, Ms. Robin Pagel at rspagel@rwps.org

Thanks to Al and his team for their hard work during and after the fire. You ALWAYS go above-and-beyond and we so appreciate you!

If you are in an elective class that is only 1 quarter long, remember that Monday is the first day of your newest quarter class!

Our RWHS staff would like to do weekly shout-outs to students who deserve some extra recognition. Thanks for showing and sharing your Winger Pride!
