Alternate Schedule Pick Up: If you are not able to attend the Schedule Pick Up as scheduled by the district, Rice has added an additional schedule pick up date.
Alternate Schedule Pick Up is August 21, between 9:00 & 11:00, in the Rice cafeteria. Students will be able to pick up their schedule, get their locker and combination, and find their classes and locker. They may also put items in their locker. Teachers will not be available at this time to meet or talk with.
If you are not able to come to Schedule Pick Up on the Alternate Schedule Pick Up, your child may pick up his or her schedule before school on the first day of school, August 25, in the cafeteria. Please email your counselor if you have any questions.
August 25th is the first day of school for students.
