Family Bulletin for August 24, 2023

RAHS Families -

As I sit in my office to write this email there is a long line forming for the state fair bus outside my window, we've just finished our first open house, and the humidity in the air has been high - these are all signs that the start of the school year is right around the corner! All staff return to RAHS on Monday and we'll be busy putting together final preparations for the start of the school year. There is one more opportunity for Open House on Monday, August 28 from 3 to 7 p.m. Enjoy the rest of the summer with your students at home!

Best,

Dr. Jen Wilson

Open house gives students and families the opportunity to tour the building, take their picture, get a locker, etc. Click on this link to see the full plan for open house!

Monday August 28, 2022

• 3:00pm-7:00pm (Dr. Wilson’s presentation at 6:00pm)

• Lifetouch will be taking student pictures - it is important to have students take their pictures for student IDs and yearbooks.

• Most teachers will be present at this Open House so you will be able to tour and meet your teacher!

Technology

Returning students kept their school-issued iPads last summer. If you are in need of repairs, please contact Jamie Crandall. New students can get their school-issued iPads in the Media Center during orientation.

Payments for fines and fees can be done on EduTrakConnect (formerly SmartSchoolK12) at https://lobby.wordwareinc.com/.

Student Health and Emergency Forms- there will be a table to update contact information at orientation.

Students receiving Special Education Services

On your students’ schedule you will see the name and classroom location of your students’ case manager. This is the person who will be your point of contact at RAHS for all your questions regarding their IEP. These teachers will be back at work the week of August 28 and will be reaching out to you that week!

Contact Us

RAHS phone number is 651-635-1660. You will get a menu to select the activities office, counselors office, or the main office. Reach out if you have questions!

If you are looking to contact a specific staff member use their staff email with the following format: firstname.lastname@isd623.org

A comprehensive list of all staff will be available before the start of the school year.

All student passwords were reset on Monday, August 7.

Starting on Monday Aug 7, the format of your password will be:

Your Student ID # + Birth month + birth date (StudentID#MMDD).

Example: 1234561025 (where student ID = 123456 and birthday = Oct 25)

Students may change their default pre-set password once they are back at school on ISD623 wifi using the password reset link at www.isd623.org/students.

Parents/guardians can update information through the Synergy Parentvue portal using these directions. If a parent/guardian has not yet activated their Synergy account, they can request an activation code here.

There is no student supply list. We encourage students to have a planner, writing utensils (pencils or pens), notebooks and folders/binder. Specific required materials will be communicated with your student by individual teachers.

Students Leaving School During the School Day

Please remember that if your child is not feeling well during the school day, they must go through the Health Office. The Health Office needs to contact you for permission and write your child a pass to leave. If your child needs to leave for a planned appointment, the attendance office will give them a pass. Leaving the building without a pass from the health office or the attendance office will result in an unexcused absence.

Absences, Late Arrival, and/or Early Release

When it is impossible for a student to be in class, the school will accept excuses for illness, family emergency, sanctioned school activities and individual needs as determined by the administration. The parent or guardian must notify the school to report an absence the following ways:

• ParentVue: Parents/Guardians can notify the school that their student will be absent through ParentVue for a full day absence only.
• Email: Parents/Guardians can email information regarding absences or early release through our email address: rahs-attendance@isd623.org. Please include your full name, the student’s full name, the date/time student will be absent, and the reason.
• Note or Phone Call: Parents/Guardians may also still send a handwritten note or call the Attendance Hotline (24/7) 651-604-1465
