Whether this is your freshman year,
your senior year or your 30th year at Red Lion Area Senior High
School, a new school year is an exciting time of year. It is impossible to predict what the
year has in store for our students, faculty, staff, parents and community
members, but the possibilities are endless! One way to make sure this year is your best year ever is to
remember that you are not alone—we are all part of a community and we can help
each other succeed! Here are some
examples of ways you can take advantage of the school community to make this
year the best year yet!
CONNECT WITH YOUR PEERS! Get the name, phone number and email
address of a couple of people in each of your classes. If you have a question about what you
did in class, what you should be doing for homework or what you should be
studying, getting in touch with your peers is one way to either keep you on
track or get you back on track.
CONNECT WITH THE STAFF! Get to know the adults in the buildings—they
can be a great resource. Once your
school year begins, you will realize that you often see the same people,
students, faculty and staff members, on a daily basis. It is important to realize that
everyone who works in the school building chose to work in a school building
because they enjoy being around students.
Take the time to say “Hi” and get to know the people you see on a daily
basis. If you ever have a problem
or a concern, talk with an adult in the building. If they don’t know the answer to your question, they can
guide you in the right direction to get your question answered!
GET INVOLVED! One way to make sure you don’t feel
like you are going through high school alone is to get involved! There are countless activities to get
involved with, including athletics, student government, the musical, and a
variety of clubs! Club sign ups
will be happening shortly, so make sure you sign up for something that
interests you! If you can’t find a
club that interests you, think about creating your own!
BE CONNECTED! A great way to stay informed regarding
what is happening at Red Lion Area Senior High School is to be connected! Follow the Twitter feed of the senior
high school --@rlashs. Pay
attention to the morning announcements (you can always watch them online if you
missed them)! Let your parents
know about upcoming events—9th Grade Orientation (8/20), Back to
School Night (9/13), Parent Conferences (11/19 in the evening, 11/20 in the
afternoon, 1/30 in the evening and 2/1 in the afternoon) and continue to follow
this blog!
WE BELIEVE IN RED LION AND WE
BELIEVE IN YOU! Let’s have a great
2012-2013 school year.
