RMLHS Memo

Although we don’t want to think about it, winter weather is not far away.  For snow emergencies or other school closing information, please look to our website.  Every effort will be made to have the announcement on the web by 6:30 a.m.  Teachers will also be calling each students home starting at 6:30 a.m.  Please note that if the Denver Public Schools cancel classes because of inclement weather conditions, then RMLHS is automatically closed as well.  Because RMLHS serves families from as far south as Highlands Ranch, as far west as Evergreen, and as far north as Longmont, it is very difficult to determine when inclement weather conditions are widespread enough to warrant the canceling of classes.  Therefore, parents, you will need to determine if your son or daughter should remain home, even if school is in session.  We honor excuses from parents who choose to do this.

Parents can keep informed about ACT resources, test dates, and other helpful information by going to the website for parents at actparent.org. There is also a website for students at actstudent.org.  Upcoming ACT test dates are:

• December 13 - registration deadline November 7
• February 7 - registration deadline January 6
• April 4 - registration deadline February 27
• June 13 - registration deadline May 8 

On Tuesday, December 2, RMLHS will have the special opportunity to play its first games of this year’s basketball season vs. Hyland Christian at the Pepsi Center!  Our teams will have the floor from 1:00-5:00.  The Nuggets play the Toronto Raptors that evening at 7:00.

Dear Parents,

This letter is to remind you of the opportunity to come and visit with teachers about the academic and social progress of your child.  The date set aside for these meetings is Friday, Oct. 24th.

Friday’s conferences will begin at noon. and conclude by 8:00 p.m.  There will be no specific time appointments, but it would be appreciated if you would notify the office as to the time you think you will attend.  Teachers will be available for individual conferences.  Conferences will run on a 15 minute time schedule.

Please call the school office if for some reason you will be unable to attend on Friday.  If you have any other questions please contact the school office at 303-346-1947.

In Christ’s service,

Rick Lohmiller
