RIS Car Rider Information:
If your student will be a car rider at RIS, here is some helpful information:
*Car rider pick-up/drop-off is at the front of the school off of W. 4th Place
*Car rider drop off time is Monday: 7:30-8:00 (early drop off), 8:30-8:55 (regular drop off), Tuesday-Friday 7:30-7:55
*Car rider pick-up is from 3:08-3:30
*Pull up to the furthest available cone so we can unload/load 6 cars at a time
*Have your Storm ready to exit the vehicle with their materials as soon as you pull up to the cone
*Have patience. The first week is always slow, it will get much better starting week two!

RIS is a Capturing Kids' Heart school. Look for us to post a monthly newsletter with great family building activities.



Monday is RIS yearbook signing day. We still have a few yearbooks left to purchase in the office. If you'd like to purchase one cost is $30. Students that do not have a yearbook can bring an autograph book or request one from the office.


RIS families, tomorrow is our Field Day. Due to the heat, students will not be allowed to take hoodies and jackets out with them to the events. To stay hydrated, Storms also need to bring a water bottle marked with their name. Students should wear closed toe shoes. We are looking forward to a FUN day tomorrow!


RIS End of the Year Awards will be Friday, May 19 at 9:00 at the Center for the Arts on the RHS campus. We hope to see you there to help us celebrate our Storms' hard work!
