Students requesting to return to RUHS fall or spring of their Sophomore, Junior or Senior year need to be on track in all core classes and need an additional 10 elective credits. In addition to credit requirements, your attendance and behavior are also a consideration for returning to RUHS. Meeting must be held prior to end of the semester with Alternative Education Principal to discuss if expectations and qualifications have been met.

 

***For PDHS Students:

Students who are 0-30 credits behind benchmarks will have 4 periods at PDHS.

Students who are 30+ credits behind benchmarks will have 5 periods at PDHS.

 

Note: These benchmarks are only a guideline. If you are ahead of the expected benchmarks, you are still required to complete a minimum of 2 contracts per week per class. If you enter PDHS below the suggested benchmarks, it means you will need to complete more than the 2 contracts per week per class to get on track.
