Week of December 1, 2025
At RLS, our mission, is to ensure that all students learn at grade level or higher
Thanksgiving Break-NO SCHOOL Monday, November 24-Friday, November 28! 

RLS community, have a wonderful and restful break. We hope you have appreciated and enjoyed your students' first trimester at RLS this year. We certainly have!  We are thankful for your support and partnership in education! Thank you! 


GOING FORWARD-rather than list Dates On The Horizon-I have linked our Parent Square Calendar below that is updated daily. Additionally, Mr. Samuels' evening bulletin will continue to have dates that week and upcoming. 
 
Have a great week! Link to Parent Square Calendar and our website
Tuesdays are school spirit dress up days!
Thursdays are favorite department or class days!
Fridays are AVID and/or College and Career dress up days!

This Week in ACADEMICS
Ask your student about the college and career scavenger hunt from this past week! Ask your students who used to take pictures at JC Penny's, or who used to make salads at Mary's Pizza Shack, or who attended a Junior College before transferring to a University...and so many more! It is important that we share and celebrate the various journeys we can take on our way to career fulfillment!

Does your student need a quiet place to study, get work done, or a little extra help on assignments?!
After School Academic Support HAS BEGUN! FOR ALL STUDENTS: Mondays, Tuesday, Thursdays, and Fridays 3:10-4:10 in A
