Wednesday-Dec. 8-Last Day to Shop @ the Book Fair!

All eWallet balances roll over to our spring fair.

Veterans Day Week @ RTE

Did you know that 19% of RTE students are from 

military families?  

Veterans Day is celebrated on Thursday, November 11, at RTE.  Our usual tradition of a large, vibrant thank you assembly has been usurped by COVID. 

That hasn't stopped our amazing faculty and staff, alongside our wonderful PTO, from making new traditions. From a Veterans Day am breakfast drive-thru, to Letters for Veterans, to a daily salute to our military branches on WING-TV, and then wearing red, white, & blue on Thursday, there is much to see, hear, & learn about supporting our military at RTE.
