Reno Huskie Families,

Semester 2 is underway and we are looking forward to a strong
finish of the 2014-2015 school year. Please read through this
newsletter as it gives families important details and information
along with sharing some links to cool videos and news.

First semester grade data told us freshmen and juniors struggled in their core classes while sophomores and seniors
showed an overall improvement in total Fs issued compared
to last years data. Teachers and departments are analyzing
the first semester failures to identify any trends/issues we
could help students overcome. We hope to publish a schoolwide departmental breakdown of what we offer students
who struggle at Reno High School so stay tuned for that in the
future.
Reno High School is proud to announce we have 2 Presidential Scholar Candidates who will move forward in the process
to earn a Presidential Scholars Award. Congratulation Clay
Harrison and Tyler Hart!

Library ongoing fundraiser - Attention Save Mart Shoppers!

If you shop at Save Mart and would like to help us raise library funds, request a SHARES card from
the library. No special steps are necessary: you just present it when you check out, and we earn a
share of your qualified purchases. I have plenty of cards and will send one home with your son or
daughter or will mail one to you. Contact me at bwhiteley@washoeschools.net or 333-5050 ext.
34144. No registration is necessary, so this is a very easy way to help us. Your help is appreciated!
Destiny - To visit our library on-line, go to https://washoeschools.follettdestiny.com and choose
Reno High Library. Besides the library catalog, we have a lot of interesting and useful information
on our Destiny home page.
