HAC Information and Student Grades
It is the goal of RJHS teachers and staff to keep student grades updated weekly for parents and guardians to stay aware of their child's/ children's progress throughout the semester. If you are having trouble accessing HAC (Home Access Center) you can email Jennifer Roberts for help with login credentials.
Semester Test Exemption Policy: Spring Semester
Students that maintain an 80% average over the 3rd and 4th 9 weeks, have the option to be exempt from their semester exam. Attendance does not matter as far as exemptions go.
Students are welcome to take their exam if they would like to improve their grade. If a student is exempt and attempts to take the semester exam and they do not do well, it will not count against them.
Congratulations to our January Employee & Student of the Month

Educator Rising Informational Meeting
Is your student interested in being an elementary, middle, or high school teacher? Do they want to be a football, baseball, basketball, volleyball, softball, or soccer coach? Do they want to direct the band or choir? How about being a theater director? Do they want to work with students in an RSD classroom next year? If they are interested in any career in education, they can consider taking Introduction to Education through the Educators Rising program at RHS next year. There will be an informational meeting during Advisory on Tuesday, January 24th in the RJHS cafeteria.
