RHS Weekly Announcements     |    July 8, 2021

Hello, Ram families!

I hope all is well with you!  We are almost halfway through summer learning.  It is hard to believe!

NEW

AP Drop Deadline - July 9th:  Students who wish to drop an AP course for which they registered MUST drop by 3PM on Friday, July 9th.  Students need to go here and scroll to the bottom to find the drop link.

PreACT Scores:  If your Ram took the PreACT and you want the scores, we have score sheets in Student Services.  If you are okay with waiting until the school year begins, we can distribute then.

Yearbook:  We hope that they will arrive next week.  If so, we will publish dates and times to pick up those ordered the following week.

Big things happening at RHS on August 21st: We will start the day with Rams Rise and Run.  You can find out more here:  http://races.fastrams.me.

The festivities will continue throughout the morning and afternoon with the Motors and Market event hosted by the RHS Band. It costs nothing to come out and enjoy our community event from 10-2 for the motor show and 10-4 for the market! We will be hosting a classic car/motorcycle/Jeep show with trophies (register if you want to enter your vehicle in the competition!!!!) and a market event in the stadium! (register if you would like to be a vendor!)

Check out our flyer attached and if you would like to register to be a vehicle competitor or market vendor sign up here https://forms.gle/xo1CfisHqL1zaRRe9 and feel free to share with people you think would be interested!

Student Services: Our Student Services staff is updating information on their webpage as new information becomes available.  It would be helpful to periodically check the information this summer and familiarize yourself with the information that they offer and maintain on the site.  It would be helpful to pay careful attention to the following sections if they are topics that might apply to you.

Preparing for RHS Rams Racing Series:  The Rams XC & Track Teams are hosting a series of community events this upcoming year. The goal is to engage Rolesville with the community, encourage healthful living, and raise funds for the Rams XC & Track programs. We would love for you to join us either (a) as a participant or (b) as a volunteer to help make the activity function well.

• Aug 21: Rams Rise & Run 
• Oct 9: Rams XC Invitational (XC & Youth Race)
• Oct 31: Rams Scare Run
• April 30: Rams SPRINGtacular Run

Information for these races can be found @ http://races.fastrams.me 

We know COVID will still be here in the new school year.  The administrative team has been talking about the impact going into the new year.  There will still be cases and the potential for necessary quarantine of 10, 14 o4 24 days.  While no student is required to get a vaccination, those who are vaccinated with both doses at least two weeks prior to the exposure will not be required to quarantine if exposed.  The impact on learning and participation in school activities could be great for those who are quarantined, especially given the transition back to the building for most students.   I make mention of this for your consideration.  If students are planning to be vaccinated, it would be most helpful to have the second vaccine complete two weeks before students return to school.

Class of 2022 Senior Portraits:  Appointments are now available for your portrait session on August 2-6. See the flyer for more information: in English, in Spanish. Students will pay their session fees based on which session they would like to do. To help you prepare, the prices for seating will be:

1.     Formals/Cap and Gown - $19.95
2.     All backgrounds - $39.95

Senior proofs will be emailed to the email address that students use when they sign up for their appointment. The email will be verified on picture day.  Students will have the opportunity to go to any of the high schools that Strawbridge does this summer if they are not able to make it the week Strawbridge is at Rolesville High.  Appointments are now available for your portrait session on August 2-6. See this flyer for more information: in English, in Spanish.   Class of 2022! Appointments are now available for your senior photography session with @strawbridgestudiosinc!

Addition to Senior Portrait Information:  Strawbridge does not send reminder cards to sign up.  Please make sure you take note and sign up based on this email or posts from the school website.  Do it now to prevent frustration later.

Senior Portrait Options:  If your Ram cannot make it during the times set for RHS pictures, it is fine to sign up for open times at other schools who are served by Strawbridge.  Please access the links for these other schools to sign up.
