Our hearts are heavy today after receiving news of the death of beloved RRHS teacher Heidi May. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends. Mrs. May was a dedicated teacher who worked tirelessly through her cancer treatments to serve her students. She was named RRHS Teacher of the Year in 2021. She will be greatly missed around campus and in this community. We also understand this news is very difficult for all of us to accept and that we will need to support each other during the grieving process.
Students, we want you to know that your teachers and administrators are here to help you in any way that we can and we will get through this difficult time together as Yellow Jackets do.
Our RRGSD administration held its annual leadership retreat today. Our theme this school year is: “Work hard, be kind, and never give up.” We’re ready for a great year! Who is ready to come back to school? #KidsAreOurCustomers
Join us in welcoming our 30 new teachers and staff who started work today at RRGSD. Our students are fortunate to have you! #KidsAreOurCustomers #RRGSDFirstDay2021
