Dear Parents,On the bus ride home today, your student may have witnessed a car accident involving RHMS students. This was upsetting to many students and they may want to talk with you about this. Their bus driver did an excellent job of remaining calm and calling for help. I will provide further information as I am able and want to thank you for providing extra TLC to your sons and daughters tonight.

Sincerely,Erin Bowser, RHMS principal
