It's been a wonderful journey with you. As we hustle to the finish line, I want you to know that I appreciate you and our partnership. Now, let's make sure these Blue Devils make it all they to home!
Seasons like these don't happen too often...check out how Ms. Vicki is making sure we never forget!

Survey time! RLS Families, please consider taking a few minutes to take this survey about communication to and from RLS! This survey was co-developed by our School Site Council and English Learner Advisory Council in alignment with our Single Plan for Student Achievement. It's in English and Spanish. Thank you |

8th Grade Families- Yosemite is a upon us!
- At this time, we know who isn't going, we know who is and we are all paid up! Let's go seem some beauty!
- Please arrive on Tuesday, May 26, by 8 AM. Students will drop their bag off near the MPR and we will convene in the MPR for a pre-departure discussion.
- Students may bring individually packaged snacks such as granola bars, trail mix, dried fruit, and water. They may not bring Takis, soda, candy, etc. Please focus on foods that will provide good energy for hiking and other outdoor activities. There is a bear box outside the tent cabins that students can use. Lastly, these items must be able to fit in their bag, not in addition to it.
Students need to bring a lunch for the trip down on Tuesday. We will NOT provide and/or stop for food.
Your student will need to their own money for dinner, Friday, May 29th on the way back. Students are expected to arrive back at RLS between 8:00 and 9:00 p.m. on Friday, May 29th. When we are about half an hour from St. Helena, your student will call you. Make sure your child has a ride home from the RLS campus right away upon return.

Under the guidance of Dr. Moreno, Ms. Chandran, and Ms. Simon...not to mention the never-ending work ethic and commitment of our teachers, we have had some of the biggest gains in English Learners' scores on the ELPAC that I have personally ever seen AND will be reclassifying a few students before they head off to SHHS! Congratulations students, staff, and families!
