Family Bulletin for August 17, 2023

RAHS Families -

We are getting even closer and can't wait to see students and families next week Wednesday (Aug. 23) and /or the following week Monday (Aug. 28) for our Open House (additional details below).

Student athletes have started practices this week and one thing we've heard a lot is "I can't get into Schoology / StudentVue / my email" - ALL student passwords changed to a default password on August 7. Please ensure your scholar knows the following: Student ID # + Birth Month + Birth Date as they will use this format to login to Synergy or Schoology to see their schedule beginning Monday Aug. 21 (details below).

Our building schedule for the 23-24 school year is linked below - we WILL still do late start Wednesdays again to support our staff learning time. We will no longer be doing Raider Time as a separate 'period' of time so 5th hour will end at 2:40 daily. Instead, student needs for retaking tests, social / emotional learning, etc. will take place during classes (now called RISE Time).

As students and staff begin returning to the building I'm asking them "how will you "Rise Up" at RAHS this year?" - so far our students have incredible ideas for shifting the school culture. More details about our goals will be coming in the near future but the excitement grows for the 23-24 school year!

Rise Up,

Dr. Jen Wilson

These teachers will be back at work the week of August 28 and will be reaching out to you that week!

All student passwords were reset on Monday, August 7.

Starting on Monday Aug 7, the format of your password will be:

Your Student ID # + Birth month + birth date (StudentID#MMDD).

Example: 1234561025 (where student ID = 123456 and birthday = Oct 25)

Students may change their default pre-set password once they are back at school on ISD623 wifi using the password reset link at www.isd623.org/students.

Parents/guardians can update information through the Synergy Parentvue portal using these directions. If a parent/guardian has not yet activated their Synergy account, they can request an activation code here.

There is no student supply list. We encourage students to have a planner, writing utensils (pencils or pens), notebooks and folders/binder. Specific required materials will be communicated with your student by individual teachers.
