HAPPY BLACK HISTORY MONTH!
During the month of February, we celebrate the achievements and accomplishments of African-Americans such as Martin Luther King Jr, Rosa Parks, Malcolm X, Mae Jemison, Harriet Tubman, and other Black individuals. They all helped shape and fix our country. Thanks to them, we have a lot of basic inventions that still work and help a lot to this day. Happy Black History Month, Royals!

The purpose of Kindness Week is to highlight positive actions in the community focused on our bonds with each other.

Students,
This is a friendly reminder that if you are not feeling well...
1. You need to ask your teacher for a pass to the nurse.
2. The nurse will assess you and determine if you need to go home.
3. If you need to go home, the NURSE will call your parent to pick you up
Students MUST NOT call the parent for pick up. This creates a lot of confusion in the main office with our staff.
We appreciate your support with this.
Respectfully,
RDR Administration
RDR Policy per our Student/Parent Handbook
