THE PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE Attention Seniors— along with your family, the RAHS staff, and our industry and community partners, I feel the excitement rising for the June 10 commencement ceremony. One traditional piece of the celebration is the graduation insert. We want to honor you by printing the details pertaining to your scholarships and selection for colleges. Please note, May 30 is the deadline to enter the graduation insert information on the Google form. Any subsequent changes after May 30 must be hand delivered to Ms. Hiranaka by June 4, 4:00 p.m. Changes to the graduation insert cannot be made after June 4. Thank you for your cooperation to take care of the details —we want to see you shine! One of the exciting new opportunities for next year involves our partnership with Purdue’s School of Aviation and Transportation Technology. Together, RAHS and Purdue are offering a three-credit, introductory course for Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS). Upon completion, students can write for the Federal Aviation (FAA) UAS exam resulting in an FAA UAS Operator Certificate (based on anticipated FAA regulations forthcoming— subject to change). To be eligible for the FAA certificate, an operator would have to be at least 17 years of age and successfully pass an aeronautical knowledge test. The following three parts of the course include: Module 1: Unmanned Aerial Systems Design and Construction Module 2: Unmanned Aerial Systems Inspection and Repair Module 3: National Airspace System Operations

The UAS program for RAHS is designed and developed as a blended-learning model. I want to thank Dr. John Wensveen for supporting a practical key idea—relationships matter when it comes to learning. RAHS students enrolled in the course will receive 25 hours of direct instruction from Purdue faculty member, Dr. Brian Kozak, and another 20 hours of learning in an online environment. Dr. Kozak, and an undergraduate assistant, will deliver the lessons at RAHS over two weekends, October 21-23, 2016 (Pathfinder weekend) and a weekend in March 2017. Any student with an interest in attending Purdue can convert the certificate into college credits within the School of Aviation and Transportation Technology —at no charge.

The cost for the three-credit certificate is $400. Depending on the student’s decision for the construction project, i.e., a quadcopter, or indoor RC airplane, there is an additional expense of $150-$350. The UAVs become the property of the students. If you are interested, please add your name to the sign-up sheet located at Ms. Tranholt’s office. The first 25 students who sign up will be contacted on or before June 10, and financial aid is available for this new learning opportunity.

Congratulations are in order for Heidi Yagen! Heidi is the recipient of a $1000 Everyday Superheroes grant from DoSomething.org. She has participated in nine campaigns, and in her most recent effort, she created 900 cards in three weeks. Heidi is our local superhero, and is an inspiration to our community. Well done!

Finally, I want to cheer on all the AP scholars, and thank your teachers who have prepared you to do your best. As you sit for the course exams during the next two weeks, please know how proud I am of your commitment and dedication to study. Thank you for your discipline. The willingness to engage with rigorous coursework and finish well inspires me. I wish all of you the very best.

The Principal’s Round of Applause—acknowledging those who make RAHS a better place. Mr. Joshi—for his time and energy to 3-D print our Cubesat analog.

ITEMS COMING DUE—A New Feature in the NOTAM.

 Google Survey Due today, Monday.  Last Day to purchase roses for our traditional rose ceremony is May 13.  The final BYU Health Test for the school year will be proctored on May 25 at 3:45 PM.

NEW ANNOUNCEMENTS

HSD Board Policy 2420 Students and families will see a shift in grading policy and practices beginning with the 2nd semester report cards. The change is in response to the new HSD Board Policy 2420 "Measuring Student Progress". Please note the following designations:  IP designation o An IP is designed as a placeholder grade for a student whose work in a class is in progress, but has not yet shown completion of the learning goals. o From the policy: "Students who fail to show adequate evidence for meeting learning goals or standards for any grading period (e.g., quarter, semester, or full year) will receive the designation of In Progress (IP). Receiving an IP grade gives a student up to five weeks to show adequate evidence and to receive a letter grade or P/F grade, depending on the grading system outlined in the course syllabus."

 D grades o The district's established grading policy does not allow a school-based decision to not use D grades. Failure to use a D grade unfairly penalizes students with an F when they have, in fact, earned credit, and may cause students to have to re-take classes, thus putting them further off the graduation track. o From the policy: "The district will comply with the marking/grading system used by the statewide standardized high school transcript. Secondary students' grades will be reported for each individual term and cumulatively. Highline uses a standard 5-point grading scale at the high school level. Based on the grading system outlined in the course syllabus, students will receive one of the following grades upon completion of a course: A, B, C, D, F, or Pass (P)"

 No Credit o Is not one of the authorized designations that an IP can be converted to after five weeks. The policy only allows IP designations to be converted to a P or an F.

STUDENTS WHO DRIVE If you are going to use the Aviation Pavilion parking lot, please do not speed. Museum employees have observed several times now students driving way too fast for their own good and for safety. The Museum of Flight would prefer that students and staff only use the entrance off 92nd for all school related activities. Thank you for your help honoring this Museum of Flight request.

RAHS Graduation will be held at the Highline School District Performing Arts Center on June 10 at 4:00 PM. Tickets will be available soon. Each senior will receive four tickets free. Two additional tickets will be available at $2.00 each.

Parents should ask their student’s teacher if any of the students in the class or event are restricted from photos. 3. Do not share photos on social media if they include other students unless you are sure they are cleared for photos. It is okay to share them with your friends and family privately, but not online.
