Nov 9 - 13, 2026

RDS This Week:

Monday - 1st period

Tuesday - 2nd period

Wednesday - NO SCHOOL

Thursday - 3rd period

Friday - 4th period

NO SCHOOL ON WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 11.

Students should be in their seats in the classroom by 7:40, so plan to have them to school by 7:30 am.

Some students and families are a little confused about the tardy policy. Arriving at the school door at 7:40 is still going to result in the student being marked tardy.

Students should be in their classrooms by 7:40.

It takes some time to walk from the school entrance to classrooms, and the car rider line gets long starting at 7:25, so please plan accordingly.

Picture retakes were originally scheduled for November 6, but now will be on November 20th.

Parents & Guardians, please remind your children about the following:

* No blankets at school

* Students need to abide by the dress code (no showing of shoulders or midriffs)

* No undergarments should be visible

* Cell phones need to be put away during classes

* Students need to do a better job of picking up after themselves. Trash should always go in the trash cans and not left on tables, the floor, or the bleachers.

Score reports from the College and Career Readiness Assessment (CCRA) they took on October 28 will be going home with juniors this week. They have been copied onto melon-colored paper. These reports will be explained more in-depth to students during the November 20 junior homeroom time.

We had 100% of scheduled students show up for testing! Wow! That is amazing!

Scores will be available in the near future and will be shared with those who took the test.

To see them sooner, you may have your child create a MyACt account if they have not created one yet. To login or create an account use this weblink: https://my.act.org/account/signin?location=https://my.act.org.
