RRHS Senior Update

Graduation Preparations: Senior Fees - ACTION NEEDED

Now that we are in full swing of the school year and heading toward graduation, we are ordering caps and gowns, senior T-shirts, and yard signs for our students. To cover the cost of these items, we have a Senior Fee to save parents the hassle of ordering items separately.

The payment portal for Senior Fees is now open. The Senior Fee is $115. This amount pays for the Cap and Gown for Graduation, a senior yard sign, a senior T-shirt, and food at the final graduation practice.

We plan to have the caps and gowns delivered in the Spring to allow for lots of photo opportunities.

To pay the fees, please go to the SchoolCashOnline Payment Portal on the school web page. You can also make a voluntary donation to help students experiencing financial difficulties.

Cap, Gown, and Senior T-Shirt Ordering - ACTION NEEDED

Fill out the attached Google Form with your height, weight, and t-shirt size so we can get your cap, gown, and senior shirt ready. Please complete this form ASAP. The form will CLOSE by 12/14 at 11:59PM

If you have questions, please reach out to your senior sponsors, Ms. Thomas (Room L212) or Ms. Ahmed (Room L410).

End of Marking Period 1

Parents, please make certain your student is up to date on all of their assignments. Teachers are in professional development on Monday and Tuesday but available for questions concerning missing work. Report cards are available in ParentVUE on 11/10 at 4pm.
