Rye High School Take a Tour and Gain a Better School
Are you a Rye City resident? If so, the state of our high school facility will effect you one day!

Tours of High School facilities being considered for renovation

Please join us to tour the high school facilities under consideration for renovation:

Wednesday, September 28, at 8:45 am or 9:15 am
Tuesday, October 4 at 7:00 pm ( before the 8:00 pm Board of Education Meeting).

The RHSPO will conduct tours of the high school facilities being considered for renovation under the District's Capital Project plan. The tours will cover current science classrooms, girls' and boys' bathrooms and locker rooms, art rooms, the guidance center and the field house. Parents of students in the Rye City School District are welcome and encouraged to attend. The tours will show first-hand the acute space needs that Rye High School faces.

The tours will meet inside the high school main entrance, at the Security desk. We are hosting two tours on Wednesday to make it easier for both high school/middle school parents and elementary school parents to attend.

Please also plan to attend one or more the following meetings about the District's/Board of Education's Capital Project Priorities:

Tuesday, September 27 at 8:00 pm: Board of Education meeting, Middle School Multi-Purpose Room

Monday, October 3 at 7:00 pm: Discussion Forum hosted by Superintendent Dr. Shine, High School Media Center

Tuesday, October 4 at 8:00 pm: BOE "Open Forum" format meeting, Middle School MPR

This Tuesday's BOE meeting is especially important because the Board will prioritize the (long) list of MS/HS building needs as outlined at previous Board Meetings:

12 unit classroom addition and four new classrooms within the existing building space
Rest rooms
Art Classrooms
Physical Education Space
Locker Rooms
Multi-purpose/performing arts space
Field Space
Field House renovations/upgrades
Media Center
Art Classrooms
MS/HS Cafeteria Space
Guidance Center
Rye TV
Traffic/Pedestrian Access
HVAC
Ventilation/Heat Controls

They will also discuss cost estimates and the impact on school taxes.

It's time to be a squeaky wheel! The Board is very interested in hearing from the public!! They have not yet heard in a substantial way where the community stands on these proposals.
