Dear Members of the Reading Memorial High School Community,

This handbook includes helpful information, policies, and procedures about Reading  Memorial High School that reflect and define the overall student experience. It also includes  the behavioral expectations for students, which are designed to keep all members of our  high school community safe and secure. As part of our Core Values and Beliefs, it is  expected that all Reading Memorial High School students act with Respect towards all  members of the school community, take Responsibility for their actions, Persevere through  challenges, and exhibit Scholarship in their studies. Reading Memorial High School is a  place where students are valued and seen as individuals that enrich the collective school  community. All members of the school community are expected to be responsible and  contribute to a culture of respect, safety, and tolerance. Upon entering and exiting this  building each student represents Reading Memorial High School, a school rich in tradition,  and one that is unafraid to embrace progress.

It is important that all students feel physically and psychologically safe to learn and grow  academically, socially, and personally. It is the job of the administration to ensure that all  students feel this safety by enforcing the rules and expectations outlined in the Student  Handbook. The administrative team does so by educating students on the rules and  expectations of the school and by upholding these standards if ever they are not met  through continued education, support and / or disciplinary consequences.

Students planning for the upcoming school year are encouraged to take advantage of  opportunities offered at Reading Memorial High School. We take pride in offering a wide  array of courses and extracurricular opportunities that allow students to further learning,  explore interests and find passions. Students should approach each school year as a fresh  start and strive to build and expand upon prior lessons and knowledge. Thank you in  advance for your help in keeping Reading Memorial High School a safe, engaging and  thought-provoking place for all.

Respectfully,

Jessica B. Callanan

Principal

Reading Memorial High School
