Your time to purchase is running short. Rolling Hills needs to send a total number of yearbooks to the yearbook printer within the next week. We ask that if you are interested in purchasing a yearbook, you order online before next Friday, March 20th. Rolling Hills will order 40 or so more yearbooks for in-person purchase at the end of the year for the same $60 price until we sell out. Purchasing now online at www.jostens.com will guarantee a yearbook for your student when we deliver them in June.

Always reported as a Top 3 Like on our RHMS Student Studer Survey, we are excited to share products of our electives on the afternoon and evening of April 8th. While this is not an Open House or Back to School Night, our Art, STEAM, and Spanish teachers will share a sample of projects for families to see what students produce in their classrooms.
Later that evening, RHMS will feature a band concert, followed by a choir concert. As we aim to better provide seating, parking, and a simpler flow, the concerts will have a full 45 minute separation between them.
- Electives 4:00 - 4:45
- Band 5:00 - 6:15
- Choir 7:-00 - 8:00
The attached flyer further shares details for families.

Similar to the elementary schools' Principal's Coffee, we will have a RHMS Trimester 2 Update for families to attend on Thursday, March 26th. To support families, there will be a morning and afternoon session.
Directly connected to our RHMS Local Control and Accountability Plan, and part of our commitment to sharing RHMS updates, we invite you to attend a meeting on Thursday, March 26th. We'd like to share details from our second trimester and plans for the third. Topics include our three LCAP goals of increased student academic achievement, addressing student social-emotional wellness, and expanding community engagement. We will also cover trends that we are experiencing as a system, both positive and curious so that families may be more aware of what is working and what may be challenges. So that we may appropriately plan seating and coffee, please take a moment to respond to this Trimester 2 Invitation link.
We appreciate you taking the time to consider our invitation and support your child and our community.
