ATTENTION PARENTS
We are pleased to inform you that we have purchased a system for Richmond Hill High School that allows us to provide you with information about your child's report card grades, transcript information, and attendance/cutting statistics. You can also use the system to email your child's guidance counselor, teachers, deans, and administrators. You may still log into the NYCDOE's ARIS Parent Link (log-in info was sent back in June), but this new system is tailored specifically for Richmond Hill High School. All that is required is for you to activate your account by logging in and providing us with your email address.
