Principal/AD- Mrs. Beth Burns Principal- Ms. Michelle Mann Counselor- Mrs. Peggy Jordan July 20, 2015 Dear Rye High School Parents: Summer is almost over and we are busy planning for the start of the 2015-2016 school year. Students need to come to school on the first day, August 17th, with pens, pencils and paper. If additional supplies will be required, individual teachers will notify students on the first day of school. Students can check out a lock for their locker for a $5.00 refundable fee (only RHS locks can be used on lockers). The five dollars will be returned when the lock is returned at the end of the school year. Information for ordering/paying for pictures is on the back of this letter. Freshmen will have their pictures taken Aug. 13th and sophomores, juniors and seniors will have their pictures taken Aug. 17th. Separate checks will be needed for school lunch purchases, locks, school pictures and school fees/fines/insurance. All students will receive a class schedule the first day of school. A drop-add period of time will occur the first week of school only. Students can make changes to their schedules with parent permission only. Seniors, along with a parent, will be required to set an appointment up with Mrs. Jordan. She is sending all seniors a letter with this information. Following is a calendar of important upcoming dates for parents and students: Senior student/parent meeting - MANDATORY Junior/Sophomore student/parent meeting A mandatory student/parent fall athletic meeting Boys’ Golf practice (Hollydot) Freshman first day of school/orientation First day of school First day of practice (all fall sports but golf) By appointment with Mrs. Jordan August 11, 2015 6:00 pm August 10, 2015 6:00 pm August 10, 2015 TBA August 13, 2015 1:00-6:00 (parent mtg 5pm) August 17, 2015 7:30 to 3:45 pm August 17, 2015 It is recommended that all parents attend the above, appropriate parent meetings. Online information packets must be completed prior to laptops being issued at each parent meeting. Parents can access student information and do mandatory updates and paperwork online through the District 70 website (through Parent Portal). If you are unable to access a computer to complete this process prior to computer check out at the parent meetings, contact the school and we will arrange for you to come up to the school to complete the process before the meeting. If you are unable to attend any of the meetings, please make sure you complete the online information packet. Your student will not be enrolled or issued a computer until this packet has been completed. Laptop insurance will be available to purchase in the amount of $50 or at a reduced rate for those who qualify. Just freshmen students are requested to attend school on August 13th beginning at 1:00pm. During this time, students will get a tour of the school, meet their teachers, get their computers and will participate in general orientation activities. Parents of freshman are asked to attend The Freshman Orientation Meeting at 5:00pm to receive valuable information regarding your child’s high school years. This is a very important meeting for the freshman students and parents so please plan to attend. Sincerely, Michelle Mann Principal
