Show the Love for RE-2

Last year, some of our parents were vocal at school board meetings and District Accountability meetings, asking to Respect Everybody Twice and honor our teachers and staff. The phrase Respect Everyone Twice has been converted into Re-2 - Respect Everyone 2wice.

Several of our Bears have been honored through this initiative to spread kindness! Congratulations to our amazing RHS Teachers and Staff that help keep our school running! Thank you for all you do!

P.A.L.S.

A summer program of private lessons, chamber music, music education activities, and exclusive access to the Aspen Music Festival and School’s summer season!

The P.A.L.S. application is open now! The application deadline is Wednesday, April 26, at 10 PM (MDT).

We’re not asking for audition videos or teacher recommendations as part of the application process this year, but I may be reaching out to you to ask about certain applicants, if we don’t know the kids already.

As you likely already know, P.A.L.S. is a GREAT way for your students to keep playing and singing over the summer, get focused, one-on-one attention in private lessons with top AMFS students (particularly helpful for the students who don’t otherwise have access to private lessons during the school year), and bring all that summer excitement and energy back to your classroom and ensembles next school year.

GARFIELD RE2 ATTENDANCE POLICY

As we near the end of the 2nd quarter/1st semester of the 2022/2023 school year, the leadership team of RHS would like to take a moment to remind all parents and students of the Garfield Re2 attendance policy.

If a student reaches or exceeds 20 absences for a class, they will not earn credit for that class.

Students who near 20 absences have an opportunity to recover the loss of learning by attending Friday or Lunch Recovery.

Every five tardies are equivalent to one absence, adding to the student's absences at the end of every month.

Friday Recovery is every Friday from 8-12 at RHS, and Lunch Recovery is every school day during lunch.

For every hour a student recovers, an hour will be deducted from the total absences in a self-identified class.

If you have questions about your student's attendance or the Garfield Re2 attendance policy please feel free to contact the Dean of Students Ryan Whittington, or Assistant Principal Tabitha Harrington.

GARFIELD RE2 POLITICA DE ASISTENCIA RECORDATORIO

A medida que nos acercamos al final del segundo trimestre/primer semestre del año escolar 2022/2023, el equipo de liderazgo de RHS quisiera tomarse un momento para recordar a todos los padres y estudiantes la política de asistencia de Garfield Re2 (consulte la política completa a continuación).

Si un estudiante alcanza o supera las 20 ausencias en una clase, no obtendrá crédito por esa clase.

Los estudiantes que tengan cerca de 20 ausencias tienen la oportunidad de recuperar la pérdida de aprendizaje asistiendo a Friday or Lunch Recovery.

Friday Recovery es todos los viernes de 8 a 12 en RHS, y Lunch Recovery es todos los días escolares durante el almuerzo.

Por cada hora que un estudiante recupere, se deducirá una hora del total de ausencias en una clase autoidentificada.

Si tiene preguntas sobre la asistencia de su estudiante o la política de asistencia de Garfield Re2, no dude en comunicarse con el decano de estudiantes Ryan Whittington o la subdirectora Tabitha Harrington.
