Can you believe we are halfway through the school year and next year you'll be at the high school? Time just flies!
On January 21st at 6:00 pm, the high school counselors, social workers, and admin will be at RMS to talk to parents and students about high school schedules, class requirements, Hathaway, getting involved, and how to have a successful freshman year! They will be available after the meeting to answer questions about schedules or anything else you want to know.
The following day on January 22nd, they are coming back to RMS during the social studies classes to help students choose classes and set up their schedule requests. Attached is a template schedule so you can start planning classes. A course booklet can be found on the RHS website: https://rhs.fremont25.org/o/rhs
Next week on the 15th and 16th, Ms. Mcniven will be talking to the students about Hathaway and class requirements in science class. You can also go to the website https://hathawayscholarship.org/
We'd love to see you at the parent meeting! If you happen to be gone either day or can't make it, come see me or you can email the counselors at the high school.
