Volunteers Needed During IB Senior Exams
Our IB Seniors will be sitting for their final IB Exams between May 7 and May 24, which is the culmination of their years of hard work in the IB program. IB Exams are g
iven off-site at St. Patrick's Church. Volunteers are needed to monitor the room where students drop off their backpacks, lunches, and congregate before and after their exams. Having a parent monitor the holding room ensures a smooth exam process and provides peace of mind for our students. Volunteers may bring work or reading materials during their volunteer time.
We are also asking for help providing some snacks and bottled water on the dates when there are morning and afternoon IB Exams scheduled. If you can help with these, please sign up
Parent volunteers from any grade level are encouraged to signup to assist. This is a great way to learn more about the IB Exam process prior to your student's senior year!
There are still slots unfilled!
Thank you for your help supporting our IB Seniors!

RHS is Still in Need of Volunteer Proctors for AP Exams!
AP Exams are the culmination of the hard work of students and teachers during their AP courses. Volunteers are needed to assist with proctoring these exams. Proctoring involves distributing and collecting exams and monitoring the testing room. No experience is necessary and full instructions will be given to proctors.
If we don't have enough volunteers, teachers will need to be pulled from other classes to monitor the two-three hour exams, which removes them from the classrooms where they are conducting final lessons and reviews. RHS will be holding over 40 AP Exams between May 6 through May 24. Please consider signing up to proctor an AP Exam.
Note: An individual may not proctor an AP Exam or handle materials for an exam in the same year an immediate family or household member may be taking the exam at any school.
