The NJHS annual Kiss the Pig Fundraiser starts Tuesday, January 17th thru Friday, January 20th!
9th Grade NJHS members will start collecting money this coming week.
Students can bring coin or cash to "vote" for the staff member and student who will kiss a pig (yes, a real baby pig!) at the pep rally on Monday, January 23rd!

The RJHS affirmation chain is GROWING! It has made it way all the way down the front 9th grade hall, through the Library, and into the front 8th grade hall! Our goal is to have it stretch around the ENTIRE RJHS building by May.

RJHS Families,
Semester Exams at RJHS begin this Thursday. Semester exams are 20% of the students semester grade and we want to encourage students to do their best. Students must attend from the time their first semester exam begins to the time of their last semester test ends for the day. They may not check out after a test, leave campus, and return to test later in the same day. Students must remain in their testing room for the entire period to avoid distracting other students that are still testing. Once students have completed their last exam for the day, they must be signed out in the main office.
Please click this link to view the semester test schedule.
