Calling all Rincon and University High students, families, and friends to join us to help make our campus a little nicer on Saturday, March 4th, at 9 am.
** Plus, you can earn volunteer hours! **
We will be meeting in the ramada area between the administration building and cafeteria. Participants will get pizza when they are finished and a certificate to verify their volunteer hours. We will have brooms, rakes, gloves, and more available. If you wish to bring your own gloves or equipment, you are welcome to.
Many hands make light work, and with many people, a lot can happen in a couple of hours! Hope to see you there!
Thank you!

We mentioned it our newsletter but didn’t quite share it here on the site. We didn’t want another day to go by without saying heartfelt “thank you” to all who contributed food. money, and/or their time to set up and clean the holiday luncheon we provided for our hard-working teachers and staff right before winter break. Here are some pics of the teachers and staff enjoying our efforts.
The Rincon HS PTA will hold its next meeting on Monday, October 17th at 6:00 pm via Zoom (link below).
All parents/guardians, teachers, and staff are invited to attend. We plan on discussing things like a campus clean-up, student recognition and a request from admin regarding teachers.
Agendas and other items for review for membership meetings are normally posted to the Meeting Info page of the RHS PTA website: https://rhspta.com/meeting-info/
It’s the end of the 1st quarter and the parents of the Rincon PTA want to show our teachers and staff how much we appreciate them and the successful start to the new school year. We will be offering a breakfast spread the morning of Friday, October 7th. This is Grading Day and while students don’t go to school that day, teachers are there to finish up end-of-quarter grades and such.
Please consider donating some goodies for the breakfast or volunteering to help set up or break down.
Below is the link to the sign-up site that has the list of items desired. Please review the list of items and simply sign up to bring them in. Items that will keep unrefrigerated can be dropped off to the school office on Thursday, 10/6. Friday drop-off time is from 7 am – 7:30 am to give us time to set up.
(If sign up link above doesn’t work, please go here.)
Don’t have time to drop something off but still want to help out? You can easily donate money instead so that a PTA rep can purchase items for the breakfast. You can do so online at bit.ly/rhspta-donate.
Thank you Ranger families for helping to celebrate our teachers and staff!
Memberships run July 1 through June 30 of each school year. Join now!
Not sure Why you Should Join? Membership Makes Our Organization and thus Rincon Strong!
Why join the Rincon PTA? The number one reason is to benefit your student . In doing so, you also help your school and become a part of a the voice behind of National PTA and join more than 5 million other people who share your interest in issues affecting children. Everyone—parents, educators, students and other citizens active in their schools and communities—is invited to join our not-for-profit parent association.
What will I (and my student) get out of joining the PTA?
GET CONNECTED: There’s no better way to know what’s happening in your school and to have direct access to administration.
BE HEARD: Share ideas, concerns, and experiences. Student members will get a say on what the group does and can offer the student perspective. If an issue/problem needs attention from the state or national government, any local, district, or state PTA can bring the issue to the attention of the National PTA.
LEARN: Education about school policies, state funding, and other issues concerning Vail and TUSD
DISCOVER GREAT RESOURCES: The PTA offers a variety of programs designed for parents as well as students.
TAP INTO A NETWORK: PTA functions are opportunities to meet other parents and teachers, building rapport and discussing issues that are on your mind.
WATCH YOURSELF GROW: By volunteering with your PTSA, you put your skills and hobbies to use for a noble cause—your child and all children in the community.
SPEAK UP: PTA can be a way for you to more effectively suggest change at your child’s school.
WITNESS IMPROVEMENT: By getting involved at your child’s school you’ll be part of the solution, helping make positive changes. Local PTAs play an important role in fundraising to provide building improvements, curriculum-based programs, and social events.
BE A ROLE MODEL: By becoming a PTA member, you’ll be demonstrating to your child the importance you place on them and their education. Studies have shown that students with parents involved in their education get better grades, have less discipline issues, and feel more engaged in their education.
ENJOY BENEFITS. Membership in a local unit makes you part of National PTA. Individuals and local units can take advantage of a host of benefits from PTA membership including discounts and offers from benefit providers and sponsors, leadership training, e-newsletters and much more. To see a full list of benefit providers, click here to go to the national PTA website.
As a PTA member what would I be expected to do?
Your level of involvement is up to you, but here are some of the main things the PTSA hope you will consider:
Give your input: Your voice is important to help shape the goals and actions of our PTSA. Feel free to address any concerns you have at meetings.
Events and fundraisers: the PTA will assist the school with its community events and may also have community info or spirit events of its own. We may conduct fundraisers throughout the year for projects and improvements at the school and for things like for art supplies, scholarships, teacher grants, computers, field trips, etc. Your donation of time, talent, or money will be welcome to make our goals successful.
Commitment: You’ll get the most out of your PTA membership by staying involved. Meetings are scheduled for once-a-month in the evenings and we plan to meet in person in the school library and via Zoom. If you can’t make the meetings, see about getting minutes and try to make it to fundraisers and other PTA events. Subscribe to our newsletter to get info, too.
Dues are $10.00. (Membership period runs July 1-June 30 each school year.)
Why do I have to pay to be a member of the PTA?
Per our parent PTA bylaws, to be a voting member of PTA and to be counted amongst the members of National PTA, you will be asked to pay membership dues. This nominal amount is not too much for a year’s worth of involvement in your child’s school.
** PLEASE don’t let dues cost keep you from becoming a member. If you wish to join but are not in a position to pay dues at this time, just let us know be emailing at rhsptapres@ gmail.com **
Please click the pic below to be directed to the become a member. A paper form is also available in the school office that you can use and submit with a cash or check payment. We can also mail one to you. Just email us at rhsptapres@gmail.com to request one. Thank you!!

Rincon University’s current scoreboard on the football field is over 30 years old! We have a unique opportunity NOW to finally update it!
Rincon University’s current scoreboard on the football field is over 30 years old and we can no longer get bulbs or other parts for it. Now is an ideal time to replace the scoreboard because the track that goes around the football field is being replaced by TUSD. As part of that, they are moving the location of the scoreboard to the west side of the field, along Swan, at their expense. We just need to provide the scoreboard for them to install–or else they will use the OLD one! Yikes!
The cost of the scoreboard is $30,213. The scoreboard has been ordered and $15,000 has been raised thus far. We need the balance when it is delivered. Please consider donating to the much needed upgrade! You can donate online via the PayPal button below, or mail a check/money order to Rincon PTA.

Hello Ranger Students, Parents, and Guardians, Welcome to a new year at Rincon High School! I look forward to finally having our students back on campus for inperson learning. Over the last year and a half, we have learned a lot about how technology can serve as a powerful tool for learning, which is why it is exciting to announce that even as we return to in-person learning, we will continue the practice of issuing all students a laptop. Teachers will continue using digital platforms to post assignments, collect assessment data, provide feedback and communicate with students and parents. Students will learn strategies to stay organized in the digital world we live in, while developing valuable 21st century skills that will be an asset in their lives beyond high school. This year we will also be placing emphasis on after school opportunities for students to reconnect with the school environment by proving expanded club offerings and individualized academic opportunities. It is very important to us that our students get the help they need while reestablishing positive social relationships tied to Rincon. We strongly encourage all students to get involved in activities that extend beyond the traditional school day.
QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE… • What do I do if I still need a laptop after school has started? o Email Areli.Zapata@tusd1.org or Mary.Noragus@tusd1.org call 232-5706 and leave a message
• What if I don’t know my email, matric #, username, password, or need help because my laptop isn’t working? o Email Michelle.SantaCruz@tusd1.org or call 232-5706 and leave a message
• What’s my student’s school email? o matric#@s.tusd1.org Example: 12345678@s.tusd1.org

As a State Congress of the National PTA, Arizona PTA does not act alone.

The PTA strives to support the students, parents and education at Rincon High School by promoting a sense of community through fundraisers, events and give-back programs. All of these activities add in a positive way to the Rincon experience for all of us. The PTA plans, organizes, staffs and operate dozens of activities each year. It takes the continued commitment of a lot of people to make all of the activities a reality. Please consider volunteering to help with one or two of the activities listed below. By volunteering you will be helping the PTA, the school, your child and yourself.
None of the activities listed below gets done without PTA volunteers like you. Each activity requires a team effort for success.
