Important Reminders to New Students Starting at RAHS in the Fall
- If you have not yet enrolled at the Central Office building at 501 K Street in Reedsburg, please do this as soon as possible. The School Counseling Office is not able to request records from your previous school or make an appointment for you to meet with a School Counselor to obtain your RAHS class schedule and school tour until the enrollment paperwork has been completed. See below and visit the New Family Enrollment website for more information: //www.rsd.k12.wi.us/family/new-family-enrollment.cfm.
- Please see the Student Calendar for important dates within our district: //www.rsd.k12.wi.us/family/studentcalendar.cfm.
- District-wide registration takes place on August 2 and 7 from 1-7 p.m. in the high school Commons. All students and their families are required to attend. In addition to completing important paperwork and paying required fees, student school pictures are taken, school yearbook information is provided, high school students may confirm their class schedules using Skyward Family Access, and much more.
- A district-wide open house will take place at all schools on Thursday, August 30 from 1-6 p.m.
- The first day of school at the high school is for freshmen only on Tuesday, September 4. All students in grades 9 through 12 attend classes the next day on Wednesday, September 5.

New students/families wishing to enroll at Reedsburg Area High School must complete the following registration process:
- Provide verification of district residence to the School District of Reedsburg Central Office at 501 K Street in Reedsburg.
- If a student or family is considering enrollment at RAHS to begin classes late in the semester, please contact the High School Principal before registering at the Central Office.
- Credit-deficient seniors considering participation in the alternative Vine Street Program must meet specific eligibility requirements and undergo an additional application process. Before enrolling at the Central Office, please contact a School Counselor to determine program eligibility. Space in the program is limited.
- Provide a current immunization record to the District Central Office.
- Complete a registration packet at the District Central Office.
- Forms to be completed include the following:
- Registration
- Health Card & Medical Treatment Permission
- Special Needs Checklist (including special educational needs)
- Student Emergency Contact Information
- Middle & High School Permission
- Once the completed enrollment paperwork has been submitted, the district will request student records from the previous school.
- After enrollment information is reviewed and records received from the previous district, RAHS Counseling Staff will contact the student/family to make an appointment with a School Counselor.
- Family: please be sure to provide the District with a working telephone number.
- It typically takes 1-3 business days during the school year for RAHS to obtain the student's transcript, class schedule, withdrawal grades and IEP (if any) from the previous school. Obtaining student records during the summer months may take additional time due to reduced summer staffing.
- During the initial one-hour meeting with the student, parent/guardian and Counselor, the student will receive a class schedule, a tour of the building, and a student photo ID from the RAHS Attendance Office.
- During the school year, the student usually begins attending classes at RAHS the day following the initial meeting with the School Counselor.
- If possible and in most situations, it is strongly recommended that a student complete the current grading period and/or semester at his/her current school before transferring to avoid potential loss of credits and to promote academic success.
- If a student would like to participate in extracurricular activities and sports at RAHS, please visit the Activities website and/or contact Mr. Yager for more information: //www.rsd.k12.wi.us/schools/high/activities/.
- New students and families are encouraged to review the online Reedsburg Area High School Student Handbook for information about attending school at RAHS, including expectations, requirements, resources, and more.
