The PTSA thanks and congratulates the RJR Arts faculty and their students for submitting entries in Reflections, a PTA-sponsored contest that encourages creativity and lifelong learning while offering recognition for artistic endeavors of students to enhance the quality of arts education.

. . . . . .

Seniors (and their families) should take time to read the updated Senior Info on the RJR website. Seniors are also encouraged to join the RJR Class of 2020 Instagram.

CLASS DUES ARE $45 and must be paid to Ms. Stuart or Ms. Torres in the Media Center. Payments will be collected every Tuesday and Thursday, from February 10 to April 9 (8:00am-9:00am OR 3:45pm-4:15pm). Senior dues will not be taken in the main office. Class dues help to defray the cost of the senior picnic, Class Day, graduation, cap and gown purchases, diploma covers, tassels, and the printing of the diplomas. Failure to pay class dues will result in a student’s inability to attend both the prom and the senior picnic. Any senior not in attendance at the picnic will be expected to report to afternoon classes.

Yearbook sales will be coming to a close soon. Buy your book now to avoid missing out!

Testing and Career Prep

The Free ASVAB

Students have an opportunity to take the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) Test for free at R.J. Reynolds High School. This test was developed and is maintained by the United States Department of Defense, but taking the ASVAB is not a commitment to join the military. Many students take this test to help them identify strengths and weaknesses and narrow down their career options.

You can learn more about the ASVAB test at this website. The next test will be administered Tuesday, March 24, 2020 at 8:55 am in the Media Center. Register for this session by submitting this online form.

ACT Academy

Students can join ACT Academy for Free! This is a great resource for students to use for ACT prep. Visit this website and enter KSG5W2 (RJR's class code) during the signup process.
