Ram Families,

During the month of October we will reach our first IPR (interim progress report) on October 15^th. Please monitor your students grades via HAC @ https://homeaccess.puyallup.k12.wa.us/HomeAccess/Account/LogOn?ReturnUrl=%2fHomeAccess. Please feel free to reach out to teachers if you have any questions. The RHS staff will be contacting families of students who are struggling academically during this month. We realize this a partnership and we look forward to working together with you and your student.

Counseling Office-RHS has an outstanding counseling staff. They are here to work with your students in academic advising, as well as social and emotional care. Please visit our counseling website at https://rhs.puyallup.k12.wa.us/counseling___career_center

Cap and Gown Information -  On October 4^th Seniors will be viewing a Cap and Gown video from our partners at Josten’s. They will also receive ordering packets. Extra packets are available in the main office.

Class of 2022 Financial Aid Applications – FAFSA or WASFA- Financial Aid applications opened Friday, October 1^st for seniors. Counselors are visiting senior English classrooms beginning on October 1^st to share information about college applications and Financial Aid applications.  For many students, there is Financial Aid available to help pay for college. National research shows that 90% of students who complete a Financial Aid application attend college. The main reason students do not complete one is they think it’s too complex or they are not eligible for aid. Millions of financial aid dollars are left unclaimed each year by Washington’s seniors who could have received help.

Upcoming Dates: 

• Oct 11^th No school
