Congratulations to Jaxon Kilburn on his acceptance to Arkansas State University.
Mrs. Dina’s Reading Rainbows listened to the read aloud, A Skeleton for Dinner by Margery Cuyler and then painted monsters with forks! Students added special touches to make their monsters unique.
Ms. Britton's Anatomy and Physiology classes are studying tissues and skin. This week they did a wound lab and made different types of wounds!
Students in Mrs. Elrod’s Medical Detective class dissected sheep brains today as part of their unit on the nervous system.
Mr. Stoddard’s Plant Science class has been studying soil formation and water holding capacity. Today the class created an experiment to investigate the water holding characteristics of common potting mediums compared to Rivercrest sod and topsoil. Let’s just say, don’t be suckered in by a name brand.
7th - 12th Grade Parents/Guardians,
Any student who has not had a handbook and Google Apps acknowledgement form completed for them will be coming home with a form to complete this week. The physical copy can be completed, signed, and returned with your student or you can complete this form online via the link or QR code below.
Completion of this form by October 31st is very important. On that date any student who has not had this completed, will lose access to their Google Account, per the new requirement by Google to have a parent consent on file. This means the student will not have access to log into their Chromebook or complete any work using any Google Apps.
Thank you for your understanding and prompt completion of this form. http://bit.ly/rhshandbook2024
The Arkansas Division of Elementary and Secondary Education has prepared guides for parents or guardians which outline essential learning targets for students in grades K-8 for literacy, science, math, and social studies. You may print out these guides and post them on the refrigerator or keep one in the car for road trips. The learning target guides also have companion guides which provide one or more activities for each learning target. https://sites.google.com/pdarkansas.net/desebacktoschoolplaybook/home

This week is National School Bus Safety Week. Help us keep our students safe by observing these safety rules!
-School safety starts at the bus stop. Share these tips with your children:
Arrive at the bus stop five minutes early.
Stand five giant steps away from the curb.
Wait until the bus stops, the door opens, and the driver says it’s okay before stepping onto the bus.
Be sure the bus driver can always see you, and you can see the bus driver.
-Yellow lights on a school bus indicate the bus is preparing to stop. If you’re driving, slow down, stay alert, and watch out for children.
-See the school bus stop-arm? Time to STOP. Racing past the arm puts young lives in jeopardy.
-School in session means more children are outside waiting for the bus during certain hours. Slow down and watch for children playing and gathering near the bus stop.
Mark your calendars!
