RHS November Newsletter
November 1, 2021
Term 1 Grades Available November 15th
If you have any questions about your grades, please contact your teacher directly. I recommend students at the high school level set up a time to speak with the teacher individually before or after school to discuss their grades and what they can do to improve. Parents are also encouraged to contact teachers directly.
Email addresses of staff are located here.
If you ever need assistance I setting up a conversation or communication with a staff member, never hesitate to reach out to anyone in the office. We are here to help you.

Guidance Updates
Financial Aid Night
On October 13th, the Guidance Department held its annual Financial Aid Night for Grade 12 students and families. We had a great turnout! Here is the presentation. We hope you find it helpful and informative!
FASFA Night
Here are details on our FAFSA Help night, which will be held on Wednesday, November 3rd beginning at 6:30 PM. Parents/legal guardians must sign up for a time slot. Every effort will be made to schedule you in your preferred time slot, but seats are limited in each slot so flexibility is appreciated.
Financial Aid Checklist and Resources
Here is a quick financial aid checklist with the 3 important things you should be doing regarding financial aid.
The FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) opened on October 1, 2021. The FAFSA must be filed for any student who is planning to attend post-secondary education and is seeking financial aid.
The first step: both the student and parent need to obtain an FSA ID. Begin the process here.
We have posted many resources on the FAFSA in your student’s Guidance Google classroom.
Here are additional resources:
Project Pumpkin
Project Pumpkin took place on Saturday, Oct 23rd from 2-4 pm. Between 350-400 kids attended the event with their parents. We had 80 RHS volunteers at the event, almost 30 trunks decorated, and 5 tables decorated to pass out candy to the public. The event included a photo booth, Dj, bouncy house, as well as a Sweeties Shaved Ice vendor. The event was largely organized by Ngan Nguyen and her Student Services Committee members.

Right now we really need our Seniors and/or their parents to start uploading some photos to Pictavo Community so we can begin organizing and collecting photos for events we will feature in the yearbook. You can upload photos directly to our yearbook design website right from your computer or phone. Directions on how to do that can be found on the website’s Community Upload tab here:
