- Encourage your child to do their best.
Please take a moment to write an encouraging note for your child. Let them know how proud you of them. Let's work together to make your child's testing experience positive and successful. They have been preparing for this all year.

Congratulations Randle High School Royal Pride Dance Department!
Selected students participated in the state DEAL assessment hosted at Randle High School on Thursday March 31. The DEAL assessment is only for dance class students (not team) and is evaluated in a similar fashion to music and theatre UIL. We are proud to announce a very strong start for our dance department as these students earned the highest rating a group can receive by receiving a Division 1! We are so very proud of their hard work and dedication to the dance departments.
Pictured student participants include (from left to right)
Back Row: Suhavni Mahajan, Jasmine Nlemba, Laela Haggerty, Kaelynn Sumpter, Cynthia Bui, Abiraami Jana
Middle Row: Mia Garcia, Lorrie Chen, Farhanda Fnu
Bottom Row: Zariah Peavy, Miracle Olaniru, Eva Ozer, Marianna Ruiz, Lauren Le
Cell Phone Policy
We take your child’s education seriously. As we prepare for the upcoming STAAR End-of -Course exams, we wanted to place an importance on minimizing distractions. Beginning Monday, March 7, 2022, we are instituting a no cell phone policy during class.
Students are allowed to bring cell phones to school and are allowed to use them before school, during lunch, and after school. Phones should not be visible and in use between passing periods or during class, unless students are provided permission by the teacher. Cell phones have become a distraction.
For clarification, cell phones can be in the student's possession, but the phone must be put away during the instruction. If a student has their cell phone visible, without teacher/staff member permission, they will be asked to give their cell phone to the teacher/staff member. They will receive their cell phone at the end of the day from the front office. The following information will be posted in every classroom:
- Phones must be put away at ALL TIMES during instructional time, unless there is an instructional purpose GIVEN by the teacher. If you refuse to follow this expectation, it will result in a discipline referral. (NOTE: Phones are allowable before 8:15 AM, during the student's 30-minute lunch time, and after 3:40 PM.)
- Ignoring a teacher or staff member when they ask that to put away your cell phone will result in a discipline referral.
- All students must have their planner hall pass signed by a teacher to be out of their scheduled class. Students without a pass will receive a discipline referral.
- Instigating, participating, or video recording any type of altercation, harassing/bullying, or any other student code of conduct offenses with your cell phone will result in a discipline referral and possible alternative school placement.
Please know that educating our Randle High School students is our number one priority, and we place a precedence on having a safe and secure school. We appreciate your support and partnership in maintaining an environment and culture where learning is the focus.
