Principal Chats with Dr. Barnaby Payne

This month begins the latest series of Principal Chats with Principal Dr. Barnaby Payne, where parents/caregivers can gather to discuss priority issues for RHS families.

Responses to Principal Payne's recent survey show that parents equally favor morning and evening sessions...so he'll do both! Topics will be relatively similar within each month so there is no need to attend both meetings.

All meetings will take place in the Redwood Library.
