Please Share: May 5 is Teacher Appreciation Day. During this time of crisis, our educators have acted as a “Lighthouse” for our students and their families, serving as beacons of light and hope and helping them safely navigate the educational challenges related to COVID-19.
Let’s show our teachers how much we appreciate their love and unwavering commitment to North Carolina’s public schools by placing a light in a window or turning on an outdoor light at 8:20 p.m. on Tuesday, May 5 for 20 minutes. Please share your photos with us using the hashtag #NCLighthouseLeaders. Teachers, thank you for lighting the way for learning for North Carolina’s K-12 students. #NCLighthouseLeaders #KidsAreOurCustomers
Class of 2020: "We are working on several things coming up in the month of May. Our staff at RRHS has plans to honor and celebrate you. Stay tuned!" - Mr. White
Parent/Student April 20th Update: If you have a library book you have finished reading, we will collect those this Wednesday during our packet pick up. Our librarians will be at Belmont, Chaloner and Manning to collect library books from 10 a.m. to 12 noon. Students may return books to any school and we will sort them out, with the exception of RRHS Seniors. Seniors we will arrange for you to turn in your library books and chromebooks some time next month. #KidsAreOurCustomers
Class of 2020: Attached is a link to a site we have made available for families who may want a different graduation text inside their graduation announcements due to the current circumstances. The templates provided allow families to print them at home, cut them out and place them in an announcement. The texts are not tied to a specific date and therefore allow graduation announcements to be mailed at anytime; celebrating an achievement without being tied to a specific date.

Parents/Students 4/2 Update:
We’ve come up with an alternative plan to continue to feed our students and meet the Food & Drug Administration guidelines, protect our staff, and further limit our interaction during this current health crisis.

Beginning next Wednesday and every Wednesday going forward, our staff will hand out bags containing five breakfast meals and five snacks per person. These bags will be distributed once per week at Belmont, Chaloner, Clara Hearne, and Manning from 10am - noon.
We are also changing the times of instructional packet distribution to 10 am to noon to coincide with meal distribution.
Packets will be distributed every other Wednesday beginning April 8.
Additional safety procedures will be put in place during distribution for staff to mitigate infection including mandatory use of gloves and other CDC guidelines especially social distancing.
Once again we appreciate your patience and understanding as we continue to navigate and make the best decisions for our families and staff during this pandemic.
