This week, students will be participating in MAP and CLI testing. These assessments are an important part of understanding where our students are academically so that we can provide the best instruction and support. We encourage you to help your child prepare by ensuring they get a good night’s sleep and eat a healthy breakfast each morning.

Looking ahead, please remember that there will be no school on Monday, September 1st in observance of Labor Day. We hope you enjoy this extended weekend with your family, and we look forward to welcoming students back refreshed and ready to learn the following day.

Thank you for your continued support as we partner together in making this school year a success!

With appreciation,

Crenesha Cotton

Principal

We are excited for another wonderful year at RHE, but we can't make all of the magic happen without your help! Fill out the volunteer interest form here. Selecting interest in an event or activity doesn't commit you to anything - your info will just be passed along to the chairs of those events so that you can be notified as needs arise! We have a spot for everyone - whether you have 30 minutes to give or 30 hours - we have something for you!  

Also, all volunteers are required to complete the FWISD background check/volunteer application. This must be renewed on an annual basis, so make sure and complete yours today! 

Thank you for your help! 

We still have a few amazing RHE teachers & staff who need a Secret Buddy this year!

It’s easy:

• Surprise your buddy with one small gift or treat each month (Aug–May).
• Stay anonymous until our big reveal in May!
• Ideas: their favorite candy bar, coffee, or something fun for their favorite team.  Favorite Things lists are being collected now to help you!

Let’s show our RHE team how much we appreciate them all year long!

E-mail RHBuddies@rhpta.com to sign up.

Thank you for your patience as we all learn the logistics of arrival and dismissal these first few weeks.  Your help in keeping our students and staff safe during this process is appreciated!

*Reminder: there is no parking on Angus and be mindful of the one-way streets during arrival and dismissal.*

We are creating a team of volunteers to help with Kindergarten lunch which runs from 10:30-11:00 am on school days. Having extra hands to help makes a big difference during this lunch period, plus it's a fun way to engage with your kiddo and meet their friends during the school day. 

Parents, grandparents and guardians are all invited to help! Use the link below to sign up for a 30 minute shift, or email cafeteriavolunteers@rhpta.com with your questions!
