The science fair will be held on May 17th, 2024.

• The deadline for Science Fair Applications is May 2nd (this is so that we know how many projects to set up for)

• All Participants of the Science Fair will be excused from class for the day so that they may present their project.

• Parents will be allowed to attend and RJHS students will attend the science fair through their science classes.

• There will be prizes and awards for participants such as goody bags and recognition of best of show.

*As an incentive for project submission Science Fair Projects will be allowed to count as a grade for the science semester test. If a student is scheduled to take the science semester test then they can complete their science project and it will be counted as a grade instead of the student having to take the science semester test. If a student is not required to take the semester test the grade on their science project can be counted as a semester test grade but will not be able to drop their overall science grade.

****To make sure that students are fulfilling their part of the project assignment we will no longer allow students to work in partnership to complete their science fair project. This is to ensure that each student gets the grade that they deserve and put forth their best efforts.

Ninth grade English classes have begun their fourth quarter indie reading projects: finding important words or phrases beginning with 22 of the 26 letters of the alphabet to connect to literary elements using the CER process. All students must have a novel that is not based upon a film to read for this quarter. These ABC Projects are due May 17th.

We are so excited to announce the opening of our official RJHS Little Free Library! This library is registered on the Little Free Library site. This library was made possible by the SOAR Literacy grant that RJHS was awarded last year. Please feel free to borrow books and if you have books you would like to donate, please email Mrs. Baldwin at jessica.baldwin@rsdk12.net

Last Day to count attendance for the Attendance Incentive is Tuesday, May 28th!

We will draw for the 4th Quarter winner on Wednesday, May 29th!

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.

The RJHS Cafeteria offers a variety of ala carte items such a bottled drinks and pre-packaged snacks. Students WILL NOT be allowed to charge these items to their lunch account. They must have payment in hand to purchase these items from the RJHS cafeteria.

RJHS students were issued at the beginning of this school year.. It is very important that students keep up with these ID badges throughout this school year. They will need then daily as a student at RJHS. These badges are used in the cafeteria to charge lunch accounts, in the library to check out books, and with our Technology department to check out and repair laptops. Please remind your student(s) to keep their ID badge with them in a safe place every day.

9th grade students are required by the state to ern 15 service hours by the end of the 23-24 school year. Students will have the oppurtunity to ern most of these hours during their Advisroy period on select school days. More information on these CSL hours will be available in October.
