RHHS: Back to School Basics!
#LND - #LeaveNoDoubt
School start/dismissal times
School begins at 7:30am with dismissal at 2:30pm.
Students will continue reporting to ADVISEMENT at 7:30am through Thursday of the first week. If your child is unsure of where to go for advisement, we will have adults in every hall with a list - he/she simply needs to ask someone for help.
During the school day, class changes are 7 minutes long. For most students, this is more than enough time to get between classes. Students are allowed to use the bus ramp to move between classes at class changes. During the first few days of school, we are patient and work with students to get to each class.
What to wear to RHHS
- shorts, skirts, dresses must extend beyond the length of fingertip
- no undergarments can be visible
- no spaghetti straps, but sleeveless is ok
- no hats/headcoverings/bandanas/scarves may be worn
- if leggings are worn, the top must extend to mid-thigh
Earphones/headphones are not allowed to be used or be visible on campus. Students must disconnect from their devices and store these BEFORE coming on campus.

Bus transportation
Buses should arrive at RHHS at about 7am, and buses generally are released from RHHS around 2:37pm.
Again, the first few days we hold buses and do our very best to make sure we have students on the buses and the correct routes. Students can ask any teacher for help, but 4th block teachers, specifically, have been tasked with working with students to help them with bus routes and making sure they know which bus to ride.

Parking on campus for students
All students parking cars on campus must obtain a parking permit - even Dual Enrolled students.
On the first day of school, August 6th, all vehicles parked on campus must have the required parking permit displayed.
Students who don't have a permanent parking permit/decal may register with a temporary - students are granted only 3 temporary decals/year.
Vehicles that do not have the permanent decal or a temporary permit will be towed.
Use the link below if you need a temporary parking decal for the first day:
Breakfast and Lunch at RHHS
RHHS will have 5 lunches this year. A student's lunch period depends on his/her 3rd block teacher. Teachers will work with students to help them identify their correct lunch period. We are very patient and forgiving the first few days of school, trust me. Students must eat in the cafeteria assigned to their class - the only exception to this is seniors, who may choose to eat in east cafeteria. The cost of lunch is $2.75. Parents may deposit money into lunch accounts through SchoolBucks:

ALL families are encouraged to apply for free/reduced lunch. In recent years, with changes in our economy, more students meet the guidelines to be eligible for free/reduced lunch.
The free/reduced lunch application can be printed from this link, or you can pick up this form from your child's advisor during Open House. I strongly encourage all students/families to consider applying for this. If you need assistance completing the application, please call the school - we are always happy to help!
Clinic forms
Do you have a child that needs to have medication in school?

No student is permitted to carry medication to/from school or be in possession of any medication except under specific circumstances.
Medication of any form (over the counter or prescription) must be registered. Medications must be delivered by parent or guardian to the school clinic.
