Did you know we have Kindles?
Kindles are devices made specifically for reading digital content like books and magazines. At RHS, we have several Kindles available for check out by students and staff. Our kindles contain books and can't be used to get on the internet or play games. Each Kindle has over 20 books on one small portable device. Titles available on our Kindles include Ender's Game, Pretty Little Liars, The Ghost Files, Candle in the Darkness, The Mind Reader and more. All Kindles come preloaded with the same set of books. Check with us throughout the year to find out what's new on the Kindles since we'll be adding books every month or two.
It's easy to check out a Kindle
Kindles are checked out just like a book and are due three weeks from the date of check-out. You can renew the Kindle if you aren't done reading and the due date arrives.
Great Historical Fiction on the Kindles

Make the Change to Google Slides
Moving from PowerPoint to Google Slides
It's time to make the switch to using Google slides for your school presentations. Each student has a school Google account which includes access to Google Docs, Google Gmail, Google Draw, Google Slides and much much more. Using Google Slides is easy and quite similar to PowerPoint. Watch this video to learn the basics so you're ready for your next school presentation.
