Student well-being is critical not only to success in school, but in helping children grow into compassionate, capable and healthy members of our community.

Our school provides a range of services that help our students feel connected to our school, get the assistance they need and make the most of their time in the classroom.

Hello, Fellow Bombers! These are mental health resources chosen by students for students. If you can’t find something you need or have a topic or resource you think needs to be added on here, let us know by messaging fellow RHS student Michelle.Pereira01@students.rsd.edu.
