ICYMI (in case you missed it):

 

Principal Jones shared more information about the implementation of Yondr pouches for students for the 23-24 school year. Yondr pouches are soft pouches that hold cell phones and seal magnetically. Their intended purpose is to help our staff manage RISD’s student cellphone by limiting student cellphone usage during the school day. To read more, check out Mrs. Jones' message here!

 

Submit Absentee Notes Electronically

FOCUS is the safe and secure online portal available to RISD parents to access their student’s grades, schedule, attendance, assessment history and submit absentee note electronically. Handwritten notes will still be accepted at all campuses, as well.

 

Click here for a short tutorial on how to submit an attendance note via FOCUS.

 

All RISD parents can receive daily or weekly notifications from the FOCUS portal, which is also accessible via a secure mobile app.

If your child has any disability or learning difference, LHHS PTA SAGE has a discussion group for you!  SAGE (Special and Gifted Education) includes all disabilities, gifted education, and the social and emotional wellness of students.  You are invited to join this group if your current or incoming LHHS student:
  • has an IEP or a 504 Plan
  • has any disability or health diagnosis impacting them at school 
  • is taking a GT course, or has received GT services at any point in the past (including REACH or past GT courses)
  • has any concerns about or needs support for their social and emotional needs 

The mission of SAGE is to provide support, education, and advocacy for the families and educators of SAGE students.  Please join us at https://www.facebook.com/groups/lhhssageparentcommunity/ and please e-mail Emily at emilykvr@gmail.com with any questions.  Thank you for supporting SAGE needs and SAGE educators at LHHS!

 

 

See Something, Say Something

 

RISD High School Students and Parents,

 

This message is a reminder that the safety of our school, classmates, and employees is a responsibility shared by everyone. If you see or hear something that potentially threatens the safety of anyone at school or about a classmate who may be in crisis, please say something to teacher, administrator, parent, or trusted adult.

 

Sometimes a person would prefer to report something anonymously, and for those situations, our school provides a system called Anonymous Alerts. Readily available through the high school homepage, RISD’s Safety & Security website, and bookmarked on every student Chromebook, Anonymous Alerts allows a person to make an anonymous online report about any situation that potentially impacts the safety or well-being of our school, any student, or any employee. All Anonymous Alerts reports are investigated by RISD, and if necessary, by police.

 

Please remember, situations that are true emergencies should be reported to 911, or the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255.

 

Thank you for taking a moment to think about the safety of our school and to be prepared to say something if you see something.

PTA Members, Please Log your Hours

Please remember to log all of your volunteer hours! They include anything done for the  high school and should include work done for the school off campus as well as on campus. We want to ensure that all of the PTA time is captured for the District. Click here to log hours. Please reach out to Jenn Rainer with any questions.

Library Services - Did You Know? 

RISD Library Services offers updated Select Title Opt Out options to provide parents with an opportunity to identify specific titles to opt out of library checkout for their child. RISD recognizes that families and students are unique, and different parents may have varying expectations regarding their students’ reading lives and choices.
Parents who would like to opt their student out from access to specific titles can do so by contacting their school Library Information Technology Educator or visit the LITE website for more information or to sign up.
