Principal Welch's Weekly Update
April 22nd, 2024
It’s That Time of Year….
All students need to start working on rounding up their books, including text and library books, uniforms, computers/bags/cords, etc. for end-of-the-year returns to ensure items do not get reported as lost, resulting in fines. Attached to this email is the QR code so families can look into the student account to see if there are any outstanding fines. See attachment.
This is extremely important for seniors who are about to graduate, so that they have time to save money to ensure all of their fines are paid off before they graduate, so there are no delays or issues with their diplomas and final transcripts.
Do this now and stay ahead of the game, to reduce what could result in added stress come the last week of school during finals.
Final Progress Grade Update
This week, student grades will reflect the final progress grade of the school year. There are 22 full days of school left before finals, so it is imperative that any final improvements to grades are made quickly. Teachers will have deadlines for accepting work that will be reflected in the final report card. Do not wait until the last minute or you are at risk of losing out on opportunities to make improvements.
T Building Water Update
On Wednesday, April 17 an outside contractor took another round of water samples from the T building following the installation of the recirculation pump. Until we receive those test results back and out of an abundance of caution, the restrooms and classroom sinks will remain closed in the T building. The portable restrooms and handwashing stations will remain in place.
Band Accolades
Congratulations to the RUHS Jazz Ensembles who both were awarded a rating of Superior with Distinction and to our Jazz Combo who received an Excellent with Recognition in their inaugural state appearance. We are so proud of all the hard work they put into their music and thankful this effort is recognized with such esteemed accolades. WAY TO GO!

The last day for students to check out library books will be April 29 so that all books will be due on or before May 13. This gives the librarians a week to collect overdue books before we complete the end of year inventory on the final week. Teachers have until the final week to return class novel sets since some will want them available for their students' final projects and exams.
