Dear Parents/Guardians:

Welcome back! It’s hard to believe that the summer break is over.  One theme that we are going to stress at Red Lion Area Senior High School this year is, “There is a place for everyone at Red Lion.”  High School should be an exciting time for all students with the understanding that, starting the very first period on the very first day, they need to focus and work hard.

As a reminder, academically please be aware that we have a wonderful support system built into our daily schedule called Academic Prep. This period is designed to meet the academic needs of all of our students by offering students and teachers time each day to address individual needs. Teachers, students and administrators all have equal access and responsibilities in facilitating this program to advance student success. 9^th graders, we have created a highly personalized 4-part transition program for all of you during the first 10 days of school.  The sessions include Getting to Know Red Lion Area Senior High, Red Lion Citizenship, Red Lion Technology, and Red Lion “High Academics, High Expectations.” Our hope is that through this accelerated transition program students will understand that there is a place for everyone at Red Lion and that we are all here to help with your journey through High School.
