CLASS CHALLENGE - I am issuing a challenge to any former graduating class to raise the needed funds to purchase an outdoor bench personalized with "Class of...". Clearly it will have the year you graduated from. RCHS is in need of new outdoor furniture and the class that comes through first get the decision on placement in the front walk of the school. Who will accept this challenge?
PARENTS - In the afternoon, please pull in to the front lot to wait on students. After the first "run" of busses departs you may pull around in the bus lane to get your children. We ask that you do not try to situate yourself in between busses in the bus lane. Thank you
Parents, Students, Community Members, and Friends of RCHS -
No doubt everyone has seen the changes taking place on the new school site just below the baseball field. We will all have to adapt to new traffic pattern that will soon be taking place. This will impact the daily arrival to school and also sporting events and school functions. We ask that everyone plans accordingly. We are working on a detailed traffic pattern that will work for student drivers, parents dropping off students, bus arrivals, and staff parking equally. As soon as we feel the appropriate traffic flow has been formulated we will release that to all. Please be patient and as understanding as possible.
Remember, when the project is complete, we will have a brand new Spencer Middle School.
