Welcome to the 2026-2027 School Year
July 2026
Dear Families and Students,
We are excited to welcome you back for another wonderful school year at the Julie Hahn Center for International Learners! As we begin our second year in the Ritenour Center for Educational Excellence (RCEE), we look forward to continuing to learn, grow, and build community together in our shared space at 10901 St. Henry Lane in St. Ann.
We are excited to welcome students back on Monday, Aug. 24! Please note that the school day times will remain the same:
- Breakfast begins at 7:10 a.m.
- First class starts at 7:30 a.m.
- Dismissal is at 1:15 p.m.
As we prepare for a successful year, we invite students and families to join us for one of our Open House opportunities before the first day of school.
Wednesday, Aug. 20
- Open House (Morning Session): 8:30–10:30 a.m.
- Open House (Evening Session): 5:30–7 p.m.
Families may attend either session. This is a great opportunity to connect with teachers, see classrooms, ask questions, and prepare for the upcoming school year.
Before the school year begins, we encourage families to attend Ritenour School District’s Black and Orange Back-to-School Community Resource Fair on Saturday, Aug. 15, from 8–11 a.m. at Ritenour High School, 9100 St. Charles Rock Road. This free event brings together school supplies, health and wellness resources, technology assistance, and community services all in one place to help families start the year strong.
Thank you for being an important part of our school community. We cannot wait to see you soon!
Warmly,
Caroline Logue
Coordinator, RCEE
