Whew!  It has been a WHIRLWIND of things going around here....

We are entering SBAC/CAASPP testing season and we reviewed the teacher testing administration guide (quickly) at our February faculty meeting.  Please review it HERE so that we don't have to read it slide by slide and we can sign off on the affidavit.

Fall 2016 CUE Conference is coming so check it out HERE and see if you are interested in attending!!  It's an AMAZING conference!

Check out some of our kids at RHS Shadow Day!
