Yet more ribbons to put on our standard... We won the Chairman's Award and the competition thanks to the help of our alliance partners 4061 SciBorgs and 2149 CV Bearbots!

Debate State tournament was fantastic! Two public forum teams (Zahnae & Shailee, Senay & Makoto), one Lincoln Douglas team (Emily Readey), and one Congress competitor (Jacob Simmons) traveled to Gonzaga University in Spokane to compete against the best in the state. We brought home the following finishes:

PTSA UPDATES
To all of those who have supported our school with their time and/or money, click HERE to view a personal Thank You video from the students and staff of RAHS.

Parents, students must not stay at school after 6 PM unless they are directly supervised and participating in a school event/club or extracurricular activity. This is to ensure student safety and adult
supervision while on the school campus. If you are unable to pick your child up before 6 PM on a regular school day, please arrange a carpool (connect with the PTSA) or make other arrangements for transportation. For liability reasons, your
child must be supervised or find a way home by 6PM. Thank you!

Special Education Teacher, Ms. Soong-Yaplee will be at RAHS Monday through Thursday, 12:30 PM to 2:30 PM and Friday 12:30 Pm until 2:00 PM. Her telephone number is: 206-631-7260.

Safety Issues
Parents are doing unsafe U-turns in front of the bus zone area. Please do not make Uturns here, but turn around at the west end of the building. Our student drivers with learner permits need a positive example, and safe passage as they drive in front of the school. Thank you for your assistance with our effort to keep everyone safe.
Students, for your safety, please adhere to cross walk signal on East Marginal Way South. If the flashing amber crosswalk light is blinking, do not start into the crosswalk. The school busses
cannot take a free right turn while students are in the crosswalk. If a bus is not waiting to make a right turn, you likely walked up behind a vehicle waiting and entered the driver’s blind spot. Thank you parents and students for helping us with these two safety concerns.
