RCHS Office
During the summer, the office has abbreviated hours. From June 11 through August 3, the school office will be open on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, 9 am-2 pm. However, we will be completely closed from July 2 through July 13. Regular office hours (8:30 am-4 pm) will resume on August 6.
Summer Mailing
Student Schedules and Important Orientation Day Information
Summer Mailing packets were mailed to all families on Tuesday, June 26. The packet includes the student's class schedule and important information regarding Orientation Day. Orientation Day (August 14) is not a typical school day, and students will not attend regular classes. However, all students are required to come to school for part of the day and to attend the appropriate sessions. If you do not receive the summer mailing packet, please contact the office. Summer office hours are listed below. Please note that the office will be closed July 2-13. Also, remember to review the information about summer reading assignments in the article below.
A Note About Student Schedule Changes
A written request is required for schedule changes. On a piece of paper explain the request, its justification, and include a parent signature. Ms. Huddleston will then contact the recommending teacher for the course. The request can be mailed to Raleigh Charter High School, 1307 Glenwood Avenue, Raleigh NC 27605 or dropped off in the office during the office hours listed below. Please note that the office will be closed July 2 - 13. Students must submit schedule change requests by August 13. After that, class changes are rarely granted and must be initiated by the teacher.
