Wildcat Weekly

🍁🍂🍁 October Fun 🍂🍁🍂

As we wrap up the first quarter, we are filled with pride and gratitude for our incredible Wee Wildcats and the wonderful RHPS community! Our students have made tremendous academic and social growth, and our classrooms are buzzing with curiosity, creativity, and joy. From engaging lessons to exciting school events, it’s been a quarter full of learning, laughter, and success.

Thank you to our families for your continued partnership and support—you play such an important role in helping our students thrive. As we move into the second quarter, we look forward to even more opportunities to learn, grow, and celebrate together at RHPS!

With gratitude,
Cassandra Cooper
Principal, RHPS

Impact Aid Program

Bryan County Schools participates in the Federal Impact Aid Program, which helps provide funding to school districts that serve military families and others who live or work on federal property.

These funds are an important part of how we support our students and schools. They help us provide quality educational programs, resources, and services across our district.

Impact Aid forms were sent home on October 7, 2025.

Parents/guardians of students who are either (1) employed on federal property or (2) active-duty military as of October 7, 2025, are asked to please complete, sign and return the form to your child’s school as soon as possible.

Every form counts! By completing and returning your form, you’re helping Bryan County Schools continue to provide Excellence and Success in ALL we do!
