July RACHS News

We are excited to announce that Mr. Comstock will be joining the HS Counseling Office Team as our new counselor for students A-K. He will be replacing Mrs. Kelleher, who will be retiring at the end of November. Mr. Comstock just completed his MS Ed in School Counseling this past May at SUNY Brockport and did his undergrad at SUNY Fredonia. He also completed his internship at Webster CSD that past school year, spending time at Schroeder HS and Spry MS. He’ll be in the office in August and is eager to meet everyone. We are also fortunate to have Mrs. Kelleher helping with the transition before she officially retires in November.

School schedules will be released on August 11th. The process for requesting changes is described in our form below. Please note that only schedule changes with a valid rationale will be reviewed. Change requests for a different lunch or a different section of the same class will not be considered. Please understand that a great deal of work goes into trying to balance class sizes as much as possible, which makes it impractical to accommodate lunch period and class section change requests.
