RIHS

“Hello, Parents/Guardians,

This correspondence is to remind you that State SAT/PSAT School Day will take place on April 12th and 13th. Please mark your calendars and encourage your child/children to put forth his/her best effort in taking these assessments. Due to the staff oversight required for administering these assessments, students at RIHS ONLY will operate on a virtual learning schedule on April 12th or April 13th, depending on when your student is scheduled to take the test (seniors could be off both days if they have taken the test).

State SAT (11th Grade Students) Testing Date: April 12, 2023

All Freshmen, Sophomores, and Seniors that have already taken the SAT will work on assignments remotely posted on their Google Classrooms, while Juniors and Seniors that have not taken the SAT will attend school in person to complete the SAT Assessment.

PSAT 8/9 & PSAT 10 (9th and 10th Grade Students) Testing Date: April 13, 2023

Juniors and Seniors will work remotely on assignments posted on their Google Classrooms while Freshmen and Sophomores attend in person to complete the PSAT Assessment.”

It's Homecoming Week and we are playing Moline on Friday! Here are few reminders on some rules that will be strictly enforced at Friday's football game:
All High School students must have their student ID to enter the game. No exceptions. If a student does not have an ID they will not be admitted into the game.
All Elementary and Junior High Students must enter the game with a parent
No Book Bags are allowed inside the stadium
No outside food or drink allowed inside the stadium.

Good morning!
Just a reminder that there will be an informal Freshmen Open House tomorrow, Wednesday, July 27th from 3:00-5:00PM for all new incoming Freshmen and their families. Freshmen can come find their locker and classrooms before the first day of school.

Due to construction and temperature checks we are expanding our entrances to the school in the morning. The three entrances from 7:15-8:00 will be:
1. Fieldhouse Entrance
2. "Band Doors" North Side of the building off of 23rd Avenue
3. East Side Entrance (Across from the baseball field)

After 8:00 there will be one entrance and that will be the East Side Entrance (Across from the baseball field).

Message:
The Illinois State Board of Education has waived the testing requirement of PSAT 8/9 and PSAT 10 for current 9th and 10th-grade students as previously stated in a letter you received from the school in February. However, the requirement has not been waived for juniors. Therefore, there will be no in-person learning at Rock Island High School on April 13th due to the current 11th grade required School Day SAT administration. All classes at Rock Island High School will be offered in the total remote learning setting (no live or in-person lessons) on Tuesday, April 13th, regardless of if your child is in a remote or blended instructional model. In addition, the state has updated the diploma requirements for students in 12th grade, waiving the requirement for all grade 12 students to complete the SAT. Therefore, seniors are not required to report for testing on April 13th.
