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.
We are asking that all parents pay their child’s fees online if possible. Please contact the front office if you have any questions.
Lunch Account
You can deposit money online at myschoolbucks.com. Please call Jill Buckalew in our cafeteria with any questions.
Ryle Gear

Items can be purchased online and shipped to your home. Most items are delivered within a week. A portion of the purchase goes to the school to help buy instructional and other items, unlike gear that is bought at local retailers.
Prom - Saturday, April 27th
Prom tickets are officially on sale! This year Prom will be held from 7-11pm at NKU Truist Arena on Saturday, April 27th. The theme is… Written In the Stars (inspired by the painting, Starry Night)! Dinner will not be provided; however, we will have finger foods. In addition to this change, this year's tickets are being sold a little differently. If your child is planning on attending prom, have your child check their class canvas page periodically to look for updates on tickets and links. To keep this process organized, below are weekly descriptions for when it is appropriate to buy tickets.
· Buying an individual ticket or one for yourself and a RHS Junior/Senior? Purchase your ticket through Monday, March 11th for $65 each.
· Buying an individual ticket, one for yourself and a non-RHS student, or for yourself and an RHS Sophomore/Freshman? Buy your ticket March 25th through April 7th. Ticket will be $70 for each ticket purchased.
· Last days to buy tickets: April 15th and 16th. If tickets remain, these will be in person, but not available for cash payment. These tickets will be $80 and only sold individually to RHS Juniors and Seniors.
If your child is planning on bringing a date (whether they are a non-RHS student, a RHS Sophomore, or a RHS Freshman), they must purchase their ticket in the allotted week. To note: prices listed above do not include fees charged through GoFan; these are not regulated by RHS or Student Council. Please make sure your child purchases their ticket in the correct week. If you have any questions, please reach out to the advisor of Student Council, Charity Ehrenberg at Charity.Ehrenberg@boone.kyschools.us
