Welcome to another year of Rushford-Peterson activities. Students wanting to participate in a fall activity need to plan to attend the fall parent and student eligibility night on Thursday, August 9. Students and parents in grades 7-8 will meet in theatre at 6:30 pm. Students and parents grades 9-12 will meet in the theatre at 7:30 pm. If you are a parent with a child in both age groups, you only have to attend one meeting. All forms and fees can be turned in and paid at this meeting.
