Parent Information
Friday, November 6 is an early release for students. Car riders may be picked up at noon.
Tutoring will be held after school on Tuesday 11/3 until 4:30 for students who need to make corrections on their Unit 2 poetry test. There are a handful of students who need to do this and I plan to reteach the missed concepts as well as go over test-taking strategies that will help them. If your child is not satisfied with their Unit 2 test grade, they need to plan to come on Tuesday afternoon.
RCHS now has Thursday night academic support from 4-6 pm. Teachers are available from every subject to help students in need of assistance. If your child is is struggling in certain areas, then I would encourage them to attend.
Please email me if you have any questions.
