• RHS Weekly Updates   |    October 2, 2021 

     

    Publicaremos la traducción al español en "El Informativo" a principios de la semana que viene. 

     

    Hello, Ram Fam, 

     

    Here are the updates for this week. 

      

      

      

      

    NEW 

      

    Questions about Homecoming Dance:  We have had questions about whether or not we were planning a homecoming dance.  At this time due to safety concerns around COVID, we are not.  However, I am certainly willing to look at the possibility of a dance should the impact of COVID subside and make having a dance reasonable and enjoyable. 

      

      

    Fine Arts Department Annual Fall Encore:  RHS Fine Arts will share Building Bridges, a virtual showcase of student work, on Friday, October 8th from 7-11PM.  We will share the link/QR code on our social media platforms.  Donations are appreciated and can be made through PayPal. 

      

      

    Support for PTSA:  We held our monthly Board meeting this week.  We are planning to move forward with the annual Reindeer Days event.  I am certain that we will be seeking much assistance from our RamFam to support the event.  Please put the first Saturday of November into your calendar and perhaps even the Friday evening before as we will need much help with set-up, managing during the event and then clean-up.   

      

    Also, I want to mention membership and no-fuss donations.  Because the PTSA was unable to hold Reindeer Days last year, their organization was unable to raise the money we are accustomed to having to support school activities.  They would love families to join PTSA, but a no-fuss donation to the organization would actually go further to support activities.  If you are so inclined to join or donate, we will accept donations in the office.  You can also join PTSA on the PTA MemberHub. 

      

      

    Help with College Applications:  Hey Senior RAMS!  Sign up for assistance to submit your NC College applications during RHS's College Application Day event - Tuesday, October 19, 2021 from 7:30 am - 2:30 pm.  Registration link:  https://forms.gle/XPGe6ax1J3wnTDF68 

      

      

    Attention: Parents of High School Seniors:  Your teen may need another vaccine!  North Carolina law requires Meningococcal vaccine for entry into 12th grade. 

      

    If your student may already have all required vaccines. The shot record needs to be presented to the school before Nov. 1. 

      

    • Talk to your teen’s doctor to find out if they need Meningococcal vaccine. 
    • Make sure your teen gets the vaccines they need before November 1st. 
    • Get a copy of your teen’s shot record to take to school. 
    • While at the doctor, make sure your teen is up to date on other vaccines and their yearly checkup. 

      

    Where can my teen get this vaccine? Your teen’s doctor or health care provider. 

    If your teen does not have a health care provider, call a Wake County Human Services location:

    Parents of Student Athletes:   The Board of Education waived the attendance eligibility requirement for students participating in athletics during the fall semester of this school year.  Please note that at this time, the attendance requirement is waived for participation during this semester only. Students who wish to participate in athletics during the second semester of this school year will need to be in attendance at least 85% of the current semester to participate during the second semester (2022).

    RHS Clubs:  We have had a couple of questions about clubs, particularly from parents of freshmen.  You can click this link, and it will bring you to the directory of clubs we offer at RHS. If a student finds a club he or she likes, have your Ram email the advisor associated with the club and the advisor can provide her more information.

    In Lieu of a Face-to-Face Meet the Teacher:  Since we have very limited capacity to meet with parents during the pandemic, we will not host an in-person meeting.  The teachers have been asked to provide information including contact information on their landing pages.   You may access these by going to the school website and then clicking on “Our School” and then “Staff Directory.”  In many cases, the staff member will tell you where to access class information that students may also see.  If you wish to peer into the online materials, have your Ram show you how to access it with his or her account.   Staff pages will be completed by close-of-business on Thursday, Sept. 16th. 

      

      

    Needs Assessment for Parents to Complete:  Our Student Services department sends needs assessments to students, teachers and parents at the start of the year to determine the types of support they need to provide during the school year.  As we all know, the pandemic has made the need for support both greater and different.  Your input is invaluable with respect to planning for the year.  Please take the time to complete this assessment to help us better know how to serve our students.  Thank you!
