Week of: 1/7 – 1/13
First Week Back Success
The first week back was a cold one but that didn’t stop RJSHS from kicking into high gear. Students braved the chilly first week and brought great attitudes with them as they entered into the critical 3rd quarter of the
school year.
ACT Success
Several
Russellville students received ACT results back this past week and there were
some tremendous successes! Three current
RHS students now have scores of 34 or higher. A perfect score on the ACT is
36. Of all students in the United States who take the ACT each year, only about
1% of those students score a 34 or higher.
Russellville
Ready Deep Dive Day
This coming Friday (1/12), RHS seniors will
participate in their second of three off-campus Deep Dive Days. During these
days, RHS Seniors are divided into groups of 4 to 6 students and design and
present on current topics of relevance. Students are coached by local community
members, members from the Kentucky Department of Education, and educators from
both the Russellville Independent School District and Logan Co. Schools. Deep
Dive Days are part of the new Russellville Ready initiative that focuses on
evaluating transition ready skills in students in RISD. The program, brought to
the district by Superintendent Bart
Flener, has been piloted this year with the 2018 Seniors and has already
gained state-wide attention for its innovative approach to student evaluation.
RISD will be presenting the Russellville Ready Program to the Kentucky School
Board Association in March of this year.
