THE BEAR ESSENTIALS

It is hard to believe we are already at the end of February. Brighter days are definitely on the horizon! 🔆🔆🔆

Please join us on Thursday, February 26, at 6:30 PM for an important Parent Meeting. We will be sharing our proposal for a 6-hour school day beginning next school year and how this additional instructional time can positively impact student learning and growth.

We are excited to share our thinking and truly hope you will come to learn more and provide your feedback. Your voice and partnership mean so much to us.

Go Bears!

Mr. Reynolds, Mr. Hickey, Mrs. Bukosky, Mr. Petrick, and Mr. Schley

Wednesday, February 18, during all lunches, Mr. Trusewicz will be in the cafeteria passing out applications to join the National Honor Society. Mr. Trusewicz has a list of all 10th and 11th-graders with a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or higher. These are the only students permitted to apply (Note: No Freshmen will be invited to join). This weekend, please review MiStar to see if your student meets the GPA requirement. If so, they will receive a code to the NHS Google Classroom, where they will be able to find the application. The application is due March 18 to either Mr. Trusewicz or Mrs. McCabe. Please have all requirements in a sealed envelope or folder when turned in. No late applications will be accepted. After applications are turned in, they will be reviewed by an advisory board consisting of several teachers from RHS. The list of those accepted should be posted by the evening of March 20 on Google Classroom. The NHS induction ceremony will take place on the evening of April 14. Parents and family members are encouraged to attend this event. If you have any questions, please reach out to Mr. Trusewicz (trusewd@wy.k12.mi.us). Best of luck to all applicants, Go Bears!

Recently there has been some feedback from students that emails are not getting to their intended recipient in the district. Google has recently added some extra filters in gmail that could be causing emails not to be sent. The technology department has identified some ways that students can make sure emails are sent correctly. The following information sheet and video can walk them through this process.

Seniors received an email from Mrs. Arminiak on Tuesday, February 10, with information on WPS Foundation Scholarships. This year, we are offering over $158,000 in scholarships.
