Dear Parents,
Welcome back!!! We are so excited to welcome your students into our building this week! Monday we welcome our 7th, 8th, and 9th graders. We begin school at 7:55 and end at 2:00. Allow some extra time in the mornings to get your child to school on time. Tuesday we will welcome all students in our school and we have a normal dismissal at 3:00. Please make sure your child is on time. We want to make sure our students are receiving every opportunity to learn, and we want your children to receive the education you are paying for.
There are a few news items I want to share with you. First we have math and English tutoring rooms on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays from 3:15 to 4:00 for students who need a little extra help on their homework.
With the new addition, we are asking all visitors to enter through door 1 during the school day in order to keep our students safe. Also, please make sure you read Mr. Allard’s directions for dropping off and picking up students. This is a little different than last year.
I am looking forward to a wonderful year and getting to know our new students this year. Feel free to follow me on Twitter @principal_crhs if you want to see what is happening around our school.
Have a wonderful weekend!
In Christ’s Peace,
Kari Jost, Principal

We ask this through Christ our Lord.

"Everybody today seems to be in such a terrible rush, anxious for greater developments and greater riches and so on, so that children have very little time for their parents. Parents have very little time for each other, and in the home begins the disruption of peace in the world."

WELCOME BACK!!!
Parents and students, we are so excited to have everyone back in the building next week! As we want everyone to have a great start to the school year, here are a few policies we wanted to remind you about.
1. All students are to be dropped off on the east side of the school and enter through
door 4 to ensure student safety. No students will be admitted through any other door.
2. Students are not permitted to have visible tattoos. The administration recommends that students not get them.
3. Cell phones, headphones, and ear buds are not permitted to be used in the academic wing from 7:30am until dismissal. These need to be put away in backpacks or lockers during the school day.

What a great turnout Tuesday Night for our Back To School Bash. Students were able to pick up their schedules and parking passes. Parents could get that last minute uniform or spirit wear item and purchase a season pass to all Cardinal Ritter home sporting events. The Raider Cheerleaders performed and you could fill up on all the hotdogs, popcorn and chips you wanted. A big thank you to all those who helped make this a outstanding event to kickoff the new school year! | |

You'll likely hear about a couple new anonymous social media apps as the school year begins.
NGL, which is short for "Not Gonna Lie", and Sendit, are both currently very popular amongst teenagers. The two apps operate in a similar manner. A link from NGL or Sendit is added to another social media platform, often Instagram Stories for teenagers, and allows followers to leave anonymous feedback. The responses then appear in the NGL or Sendit app.
These are the latest in a long string of anonymous apps, but they all have one thing in common. They are terrible for teens' mental health and safety. Anonymity encourages cyberbullying, harassment, and online predators.
Please encourage your students to avoid using all anonymous apps and to delete fake accounts.
