Environmental Science Gets Outside!
Dear RU Families,
We have made it to the middle of October! This coming weekend we will celebrate our school and our athletes and drama is gearing up for a production of Annie! We hope that you have scheduled your student's SLC and that we will see many of you in the building or in screens tomorrow. If you have not scheduled a conference yet, please reach out.
Sincerely,
Lisa and Caty

Opportunities for Juniors and Seniors
PSAT at RU
October 26th 8-12pm, RUHS Middle School Gym
We will be holding the school day offering of the PSAT on Oct. 26th, 8:00am until 11:45am. There is still time to sign-up. Although many colleges are still test optional, due to the pandemic, this is still a worthwhile opportunity to have a practice run for the SAT. If you have signed up to take the PSAT, during advisory on Friday, 10/15, we will have breakout groups to discuss navigating the test and overall preparatory recommendations. If you would like to familiarize yourself in advance, these are links to test preparation sites below.
