Beginning Tuesday, February 3, 2026, RHS will implement a new bell schedule to support our reading challenge.

  • Extended 1 Hour every day for 20 minutes dedicated to

    silent sustained reading

    • *Seniors who leave early will need to adjust their

      schedules accordingly beginning 2/3/26*

    • Daily Start and Dismissal Times will not be affected.

  • Supports our school wide plan by:

    • 1) giving students additional opportunities to focus

      on and improve literacy at the high school level

    • 2) supporting student and faculty mental health

      as studies show that reading can decrease

      stress & anxiety, inspires imagination &

      creativity and improves brain health & memory.

    • 3) promotes school wide unity as all students

      & faculty are simultaneously stopping to read

A Beanstack Reading grade will be taken in all ELA Classes.

Incentives and prizes to be awarded for meeting challenges!
