Senior News

• Monday, May 20th is a regular school day for grads. This is the last chance to take care of any business, school work, or tie up loose ends. Consider applying for transcripts that students will need - remember, we won't be available in the summer!  Check cafeteria balances - you may be owed some money, or you have a balance due. 
•  
• Tuesday, May 21st is Senior Class Field Trip to Six Flags Fiesta Texas. Students would have needed to turn in a parent signed form and their entry. Those not going MUST attend school that day and attend their classes as normal. This trip is chaperoned by faculty & staff and bussed by the school district. 
•  
• Wednesday, May 22nd - 9am ... is the final Mandatory Senior class meeting and check in with Dr. Malone and Ms. Bauer. Here, graduates will be given specific instructions regarding the graduation ceremony to come. The meeting will be held in the cafeteria and begins promptly at 9am, and should last about an hour. The grads will then be released to go home IF they have a signed parent note. Otherwise, they must stay and attend classes as normal.
  • There will be an informal ceremony after this meeting at the elementary school -it’s the HAWK WALK, and it is for graduates to walk the halls of RES and be applauded by the students at RES. Students who participate in this will be asked to wear their caps & gowns. 

• Wednesday, May 22nd - 6pm - is Senior Celebration Night!  At this event, we get to have the informal celebration, give out awards to include this year's "Wall of Fame" recipients, and we get to hear from all Seniors where the next step takes them. Grads and their families are asked to show their pride by wearing their new college/university/military t-shirts, or bringing flags, posters, or signs showing your pride! (Sorry, balloons not permitted). Immediately following the awards, the outgoing Senior class will walk out to the football field to meet the upcoming Senior class for Senior Sunset. Here, they officially "turn over" the bragging rights along with the Senior banner to the new seniors. It's an unofficial yearbook signing party - so make sure you get yours for your Senior and Junior!

This is your official last moment on campus.
