Happy School Year!!

The first day is upon us!  Are you ready?  Well, as I have said to several of my staff members, ready or not -here they come!  I look forward to seeing our wonderful students next week.  In order for this to truly be a Happy School Year for all, I want to share a few reminders:

1.  Students should come to school dressed appropriately.  We will enforce the RSSS Student Code of Conduct.  Parents, we need your help with this.  Check your student(s) to ensure that there is no "sag and drag".  Shorts and skirts should be of appropriate length (approaching the knee).  Hats should be left at home or stored in a locker.  Shirts designed to be tucked in should be tucked.  The complete policy is on page 38 of the Student Code of Conduct.  Your student(s) will be given this on Monday morning.

2.  Cells phones and other electronic devices should be turned off and put away during all instructional times.  This includes the ear buds or head phones. If a phone or other device is confiscated, a parent or guardian must pick it up.  Students who choose to break this rule repeatedly will be assigned in-school suspension.

3.  Students will receive paperwork on the first day of school that needs to be read and reviewed.  Several pieces will need to be signed and returned.  We ask that you do this within the first 2 days of school.  Please be sure that the emergency contact form is completed and returned so that we have the most updated information in the event that we need to reach you.

4.  Most importantly, students should bring a positive attitude and a willingness to learn!  Let's make this the best year ever!  Have and Incredible Weekend and Go Hornets!
