Roane County High School

The WVUSO will be performing at Clay Center in Charleston - along with the Wind Symphony - on a joint concert Sunday February 26 at 2pm. WVUSO’s portion of the concert consists of Tchaikovsky’s symphonic ballade Voyevoda, three of Dvorak’s Slavonic Dances, Matt Jackfert’s arrangement of Take Me Home, Country Roads (it is a a fantastic arrangement btw!) and a work by a WVU student Grayson Fisher - a 2020 graduate of Roane County HS - entitled skin. This is a beautiful piece which will be conducted by my graduate assistant Shaun Hancher, who is from Wheeling.

On Wednesday, February 1st, RCHS is holding a FAFSA Completion event from 2:00-6:00. An expert from WVU-P will be present to assist families with the FAFSA. If you do not already have an appointment, you may schedule one by calling an RCHS counselor. Students may stop by Room 5 or message a counselor for a list of items needed for this event. The information can also     be found in the senior packet sent home earlier this school year.

FAFSA

Roane County High School parents and family members. I would like to let you know that report cards are currently being mailed out today (Wed., Jan 11). We also gave a printed copy to all students on Tuesday morning of this week. I invite all parents who are not yet connected, to join Schoology. The Schoology parent site is the best and most accurate way to not only see grades that are updated in real time, but the best way to communicate with teachers. Call the school and ask for the Schoology log in. In closing, as I say every morning... It’s a GREAT day to be a RAIDER, so let’s have a GREAT DAY!

Parent / Teacher Conferences

Hello, this is Mr. Epling, Principal of Roane County High School, hoping that your Thanksgiving break is continuing to be positive for you and your family. Another reason for this call is to let everyone know that we are having a Parent/Teacher conference and Family Engagement night on Tuesday, Nov. 29. Between 5 and 7 PM, parents are invited to meet their child’s teachers to gain valuable information about academic progress. Roane County Family Health Care and Westbrook Health will also be in attendance with important information for families. Any student who attends with a parent will be entered for door prizes, including a Samsung Smart TV. Interested parents and guardians are invited to reach out to teachers via Schoology or email to arrange a meeting time. I appreciate your time over this busy break, in closing let me say.... It’s a great day to be a raider, so let’s have a Great day. Thank you

AFTER SCHOOL TUTORING - RCHS will continue its after school tutoring when we return from Thanksgiving break. The activity bus continues to leave RCHS at 6:30 in the evenings, so if a student does not have a ride home, the activity bus could be an option. RCHS teachers want to assist students in being more successful in the classrooms. See the attached document.

How about some GIVE and TAKE this weekend ? You can GIVE to goodwill - donation trailer is set up beside the greenhouse. Donate items you feel would be helpful to others through Goodwill Industries (see attached flier). This weekend (Thursday evening - Sunday afternoon) would be the perfect time. Perhaps on the way to Friday night's football game where you can watch the Raiders TAKE the ballgame from North Marion . This is a good opportunity to help RCHS help others.

SCHOOLOGY PARENT CODE - We have found that some parents have mistakenly created a parent account by using their children's credentials. We are sure this was done by mistake due to incorrect info . It is important that the parent account be an actual "Parent Account". If you contact your teachers or school administration, we can get you the proper code and info that will allow you to create a Schoology Parent Account.

FANS - we will continue with the digital ticketing for this week. All fans should enter through the commons to redeem your ticket from GoFan. If you need to purchase tickets at this time we will have iPads ready for this, or you can use your own smartphone. The AG corner will allow ticket redemption for any Stadium Pass or Handicap tag parking. The Lick Fork side will help with ticket redemption for anyone who parks at the softball complex and walks up the hill. The shuttle busses will drop fans off at the main door to enter the facility. Please note that canopies are NOT PERMITTED in the stadium for the upcoming game. They interfere with coaching and officiating. Sorry for any confusion this may cause, but CANOPIES are not allowed.

RCHS vs North Marion HS - Digital Ticketing

PARENT TEACHER CONFERENCE - On Tuesday, Nov. 29 from 5 - 7 pm, RCHS will host a parent teacher conference. This is a GREAT WAY for parents and guardians to touch base with their child's teachers and ask important question related to academics or other topics. We invite ALL parents to attend. Students that attend with a parent or guardian will be entered to win 1 of 3 prizes. Not all teachers will be available so parents are asked to reach out to the teachers via Schoology message or email (staff emails available on school website). Contact a teacher to set a time.
