Help us fill the room and win prizes! SERVE is hosting a food drive to benefit Samaritan House and our goal is to fill the study room in the DEM Commons! Bring your non-perishable food donations to the DEM Commons before 1st hour - you will fill out a ticket for each item donated, so if you donate 20 items you have 20 chances to win! Prizes include cookies, gift cards, candy! Before the items are donated, Mrs. Dossin's students will use the items for 'can'struction! They will be building their structures in the DEM Commons the week of March13!

RHS Newsletter
Each week, our students produce a weekly newsletter to share all the wonderful things going on at Romeo High School. Please take a few minutes to read through.
College & Career Night is TUESDAY!
Mark your calendars! The area's 2023 College Night will be at Romeo High School on March 7th from 6:00-7:30. Representatives (universities, armed forces, and career fields) from all over Michigan and beyond come to Romeo to provide information and answer questions from our students and parents. This is a regional event that we're fortunate to hold in our building.
Spring Parent Teacher Conferences are WEDNESDAY!
Spring conferences are by invitation and are next Wednesday from 5:00-7:00 PM. Conferences are scheduled for specific times and can be in-person, over the phone, or via Google Meet (no walk-ins please). If you would like to meet with your child(ren)'s teacher and have not heard from him/her yet, please feel free to contact him/her.
For those attending in-person conferences, Education Pathway students will be providing free on-site childcare for potty-trained preschool and school-age children. Parents who wish to utilize this service do not need to sign up ahead; simply bring your child(ren) to the HHP Commons during parent-teacher conferences, complete a form at time of drop-off, and then pick your child(ren) up in a timely manner. Ed Pathway students will supervise and engage your child(ren) in planned activities, including board games, coloring, crafts and more.
9th Grade Academy Parent Information Night
The 9GA Parent Information Night is on Tuesday, March 14th. RHS will be open from 6:00-7:00 PM for informal tours. We will have student ambassadors present to show you around and answer question, as well as your child's academy principal, counselor, and some teachers. There will be a presentation in the RHS Auditorium starting at 7:00 PM to discuss our high school structures and review the scheduling process (which the 9th graders will start that week). This night is for both parents and students, so please plan to bring your future sophomore this night.
