As part of the Yearbook class, 10th-12th students are responsible for the business, production and project management required to produce the yearbook.

Yearbook Purchase Process

The yearbook pre-order window opens on our Gear up for School Day (late August) and ends in mid-December. During the pre-order timeframe, students have the option of choosing a $5.00 add-on to have their name engraved on the front cover.

• Yearbook Cost - $60.00
• Yearbook w/ Name - $65.00

If the pre-order window has closed, students may put their name on a waitlist in the ASB Office. Once we have determined the number of extras available for sale, students will be contacted in the order they were recorded (on the waitlist) to pay the $60.00 fee. Adding names is not an option for waitlist orders.

If a student missed both the pre-order and waitlist options, any extras left will be sold ($60.00) on a first come, first serve basis.

Senior Ads

In Spring an email is sent to all families with Seniors regarding senior ads. This gives families the option of congratulating their graduates with a special message along with baby and recent photos.

• 1/8 Page (approx. 2.5'x4") - $45.00
• 1/4 Page (approx. 4"x6") - $75.00
• 1/2Page (approx. 5.5"x8") - $100.00

Ads are submitted via email and proofs are sent for approval before being officially published.

Depending on availability, prior year books are available for purchase. To inquire about purchasing a prior year book, email Jodi Kruse for availability and price.

Sports Registration

We are very excited to announce that the RAL HS Athletic Department has partnered with FinalForms, an online forms and data management service. FinalForms allows you to complete and sign athletic participation forms for your students. The most exciting news is that FinalForms saves data from season-to-season and year-to-year, meaning that you will never need to enter the same information twice! FinalForms also pre-populates information wherever possible, for each of your students, saving you time.

You may review your data at any time to verify it is current. You will be required to sign your forms once per year and after any update.

Click on the Parent Playbook (English) (Spanish) to get started in FinalForms. If you require any support during the process, scroll to the page bottom and click “Get Help”.

We are asking the parents/guardians of all students planning to play sports to create accounts in FinalForms and register your student(s).

Please register at: https://longview-wa.finalforms.com/ and follow the prompts to create your account, create your students and sign your forms.

Thank you for your assistance in streamlining our paperwork processes at RALHS.

Impacting Student Learning Outcomes by Addressing Basic Needs of Students and Their Families

Family stressors and struggles can also impact student learning outcomes. Families struggling to provide food, shelter, health care and struggling with their own mental health and wellbeing can greatly affect the children in their care as well as the family unit as a whole (Prince & Howard, 2002; Hartline-Grafton & Dean, 2017; Cook & Jeng, 2009; Perez-Escamilla, & Pinheiro de Toledo Vianna, 2012 ).

If you or your family is in need of support in any of the following areas, please contact one of the Academic Success Coaches below.

• School Supplies
• Hygiene Products
• Weekend Food Bags
• Clothes
• Warm Coats
• Medical Navigation
• Help accessing Community Resources
