I am very excited to have the honor of serving as your Principal. I look forward to building relationships with you, as well as working with teachers and staff to provide a world-class educational experience. Our first parent-teacher conferences are on Wednesday, September 4th from 4:00 PM until 8:00 PM. All students and parents will have an opportunity to meet with their teachers to discuss student learning and progress. We invite families to come anytime within the four hour window, and no appointments are necessary. On Thursday, September 5th, we would like to invite you to attend the School Accountability Committee meeting from 6:00-7:00 PM in the library. We would love to share with parents and highlight the issues we are tackling this year. This will be the first one of the year, and we would love to have you!! The year has started out great, and our school is filled with excited teachers and students who are focusing on student achievement and positive school culture. Thank you for sharing your students with us, and please look for ways to get involved in the Rifle High School community; we would love to have you!!! Again, welcome Rifle High School families! We look forward to meeting you next week! Sincerely, John Arledge, Principal
