6th Grade - begin their day at 8:00am - end at 3:00pm

Pick-up times for transportation for the 7th & 8th grade session will be two hours after the normal published pick-up times.  All students will be dismissed at the regular dismissal time - 3:00pm.

 

Note from Transportation Department - In our ongoing efforts to reduce costs, start and end times at the elementary and middle schools have changed by five minutes. (RHS remains the same.) Elementary: school begins at 8:55 a.m., car riders will be dismissed at 3:30 p.m., and buses will depart at about 3:45 p.m. RMS: School begins at 8 a.m. (except for Tues., Sept. 7 – see above schedule), and students are dismissed at 3 p.m. With this and other changes, the transportation department has saved about $185,000.

 
Student Handbook 2010-2011 - Parents please read along with your student so that you are aware of the policies and procedures.  (Click here for Student Handbook)  Please sign the Handbook/Media Release form and send back to school with your student.  (Click here for release form)
