Registration

If you are a new student to RDHS coming from a school other than RDHS or Naahii Ridge Public School, you will have to register with the office.  Please call the school or contact an administrator to get more information.​

Class Assignments

All students will be assigned a homeroom classroom in June.  You will receive notification on the classroom and teacher that will welcome you in the fall by the end of June.  We will have introduction videos from the teachers posted for you to watch as well.  We will plan an activity first thing in the fall for all students to have fun with their new teachers and give parents an opportunity to meet them.  Due to the unique 3 class setup at RDHS, we also use other teachers to deliver academic content to the students.  We will have videos and opportunities to meet those teachers as well.  If you would like to see the current staff, please go to the RDHS website on the More tab for a Staff List.

Payments During the School Year

We use school cash online to accept any fees, class organized lunch costs, fundraising, field trips and other payments you may make to the school.  Closer to the start of school you can sign up for school cash online. 

Lockers

Your locker will be assigned on the day of registration or the first day of school.  Locks will be provided by the school. Please leave your lock on the locker, as RDHS is not responsible for items taken from your locker.  Do NOT give your combination to anyone and money or other valuables should not be left in your locker - leave them at home where they are safe.  If someone learns your combination, please come to the office to get a new lock immediately.  Students are NOT allowed to share lockers, so there should be no reason to give your combination to anyone.  Please take care of this locker as you are responsible for its condition.  Backpacks and coats are to be left in your lockers as they are a tripping/safety hazard in the classrooms.  TIP! If you have any issues with your locker, come to the office, or see the closest teacher.  Don't worry, we spend the first week helping students with lockers and we understand it can be a hard time for anyone.

RDHS Student Handbook

An electronic version of the handbook can be found on the RDHS website.  Please familiarize yourself with the rules and policies outlined in the handbook. ​

Resource Assistance
