Due to rising sickness, school will be closed Monday and Tuesday 12/18-12/19. On Friday, 12/14, schools will finish testing and have Christmas parties and activities. We hope this allows everyone to get well in time for Christmas!

Thursday, December 14th:
7:45-9:00: 1st Period final
9:00-9:10: Break/Second Breakfast
9:10-10:25: 2nd Period final
10:30-11:00: Lunch
Students can bring a parent note to have permission to leave early. The parent notes must be signed by a parent/guardian and have a phone number to call so we can verify the note.

Today at RHS, we held a scavenger hunt for our teachers and staff. There were 3 $25 gift cards hidden in the school. The winners were Ms. Rita, Coach Whitwell, and Mr. Tate (we did not get a picture). Coach Quinn was right there to cheer on the winners. Maybe we can get Coach Quinn and Mr. Tate in one tomorrow (LOL).
And how can you miss a chance to take a picture with someone wearing the same sweatshirt? Thanks, Cadie Beth! Mr. Jay was there also!
