It's been a busy few weeks for our RR Early College Scholars. For the first time our senior participated in the NC Countdown to College . Activities during the month supported high school seniors in completing three important college enrollment steps: residency, FAFSA, and applications.
Our Roanoke Rapids Early College students were busy with these college activities this month:
• Approximately 43% of our Seniors have submitted their 2021-22 Free
• Application for Federal Student Aid during the month of October.
• Approximately 36% of our Seniors completed residency determination during the month of October.
• Approximately 15 of our Seniors submitted over 51 college applications during the month of October.
Be on the lookout for updates as our Seniors receive their college admission offers! #KidsAreOurCustomers

Early College Parents:
Please remind your Seniors to check their RRECHS emails daily. We want our Senior class to stay informed about all the upcoming "senior items" that they need. We are so very excited for RRECHS to have its first Senior Class ever!
RRHS & Early College Students: The RRGSD Board will discuss grades 9-12 transitioning to Plan B in their October meetings. Please take time to complete the following survey/intent form for each of your Grade 9-12 students by Friday, October 2 at 5:00 pm. Each family will need to log in using the student's RRGSD email to complete the form. The family should work together as each student may only have one response. Families need to complete a different survey for every student in grades 9-12. The survey link is: https://forms.gle/6WZur8mdNeFv9un67
RRECHS Senior Scholars: Senior Portraits will be done by Lifetouch in the RRECHS Armory Gym. Please sign up for a time when you receive the email from Lifetouch.
Also on this day, RRECHS Senior Scholars will receive a "Senior Information Packet" for ordering senior items (invitations, mugs, thank you notes, key chains, etc.)
We are so very proud of our RRECHS Seniors!

Immunization Reminder: Pre-K, Kindergarten, and 7th Grade students are required to have updated immunizations prior to starting school on August 17th even though we are beginning the year virtually. Additionally, rising Seniors are now required to have the meningococcal (Menactra) vaccine. September 15th is the deadline to submit your child’s records to their respective school nurse. This is especially important because when we do return to in-person instruction, they will not be allowed to return without the proper documentation. Appointments may be made with the Halifax County Health Department or your child's pediatrician. #KidsAreOurCustomer #BackToSchool
Early College Scholars: We have Grab & Go breakfast and lunch for you this week from 11 to 12. Our school nutrition staff will be waiting for you in the bus loop in front of the RRHS Gym. #KidsAreOurCustomers
