New Freshmen for the 2013-2014 School Year
All incoming Freshmen for 2013-14 will be assigned to a member of the Mentor Team - an upperclassman trained in mentoring new students! To be matched up with a Mentor who has similar interests, all 8th graders are invited to take the Mentor Match-Up Questionnaire for New RHS Freshmen at https://tinyurl.com/falconfreshmen. All Freshmen will receive a letter mailed to their home sometime during the summer with details of Freshmen Orientation day in August and notifying them of who their new Mentor is! For questions on the Mentoring Program, email Mrs. Harris, Activities Director.
