No Drop Offs - Please remember that we cannot accept items in the office to be dropped-off for students during the school. Our office staff works very hard to monitor and process visitors to the school and it is not feasible to contact and coordinate items being dropped off unless an emergency exists, such as reading glasses or medicine to be kept in the school clinic.

School Fee Payment - See Fee Payment Online Instructions attached
We are asking that all parents pay their child’s fees online if possible. Please contact the front office if you have any questions.

Counseling Information

CURRENT 9TH, 10TH AND 11TH GRADES:

We will begin in Monday RAP on Monday, January 30th. Students will be given this time to put in their request for classes. Students were given this week to ensure that they can access their student portal. The course guide book is available online thru Ryle’s website under Academics- Scheduling information. Please take time to review the coursebook to determine what your student may be interested in taking next year. We are offering several new classes. Current sophomores have been meeting individually with counseling staff to discuss schedules. If your child has not met with someone at this time, this will continue next week.

Juniors who attend ATC will keep their regular schedule by attending ATC the morning of January 30th. Mrs. Schilling will meet with these students individually to discuss their schedule for their senior year.

Dual Enrollment Programs

Parents and Students:

There has been some miscommunication regarding the requirements for each of our dual enrollment programs that we want to clear up.

ANY dual enrollment course that is offered within RYLE's building does NOT require an ACT score to apply. UK Next Gen is included in this.

The district Early College program also does NOT require an ACT score to apply.

Dual enrollment at Gateway, NKU, or Thomas More College - on their campus or through an online course -

Students must meet 2 of the 3 ACT benchmarks and be within 1 point on the third area. ( English 18, Math 19, Reading 20)

Students wishing to apply for one of these programs must have an ACT score by the March deadline. The last national ACT test date to take at this point is the February 11th ACT.

January 20th IS THE LAST DAY TO REGISTER WITH A LATE FEE FOR THE FEBRUARY ACT test! If you are unable to take the February ACT and you have not taken the ACT previously and met benchmark, you will need to choose one of the dual enrollment options offered here at RYLE or through Early College.

We hope this clears up any confusion.

RYLE Guidance

Attention Juniors: The ACT will be administered at Ryle on March 7th. It is imperative that EVERY JUNIOR be at school on this date for testing.

Those students who attend outside programs will need to be in attendance.

The ACT educational Opportunity Service (EOS) is an optional program to help students learn about educational, scholarship and other opportunities. Through the EOS students are also able to send their ACT scores to up to 4 college/universities at no cost. Students who are under the age of 18 must receive parental consent in order to participate in the EOS. Attached you will find the document that needs to be completed by any 11th grade student under the age of 18. A signature is required to participate or not to participate. If this is not completed and returned to school, students will not be able to participate and sending scores to potential colleges and universities will require a fee. The form has been sent thru both students and parents email. We also have hard copies available in the guidance office. This is due to us no later than February 17th.

Mental Health America provides information, resources, and free and confidential mental health screening. For more information or to take a free screening: https://screening.mhanational.org
