We want to congratulate our RHS Lady Knights basketball team on an incredible season and for advancing to the State Championship.

This is truly history in the making, and we are extremely proud of their accomplishments.

To allow our community the opportunity to attend and support the Lady Knights, school will be canceled this Wednesday.

For those who cannot attend the game, it will be broadcasted on MY40 by Sinclair broadcasting.

📅 Schedule Adjustments to Make Up the Missed Day

Because this day must be made up, the following adjustments will be made to the calendar:

April 2

Originally scheduled as a half day with Parent/Teacher Conferences
Now a full student day

April 3

Originally a holiday
Students will attend the first half of the day.
Dismissal at 11:30 AM
Parent/Teacher Conferences will take place during the second half of the day.

These changes allow us to recover the instructional day without needing Saturday school or adding days after graduation and testing.

📌 Additional Calendar Notes

This Wednesday will be considered a holiday, meaning no school for students or staff.
Friday will remain a workday since there is not enough notice to adjust plans that may already be in place.
