PANORAMA SURVEY
We will be administering the PANORAMA survey to all grade levels on Monday, 9/15 during RAP. The expectation is that all students complete this survey unless parents complete the OPT-OUT form. The district sent out the Opt Out letter twice before the screening window opened on 9/1/25 but parents can still choose to OPT OUT by clicking on the link -French and Spanish versions are here. All families MUST opt-out annually.
Governor's Scholars Program (GSP)
The Governor's Scholars Program is designed to cultivate Kentucky’s next generation of civic and economic leaders. This prestigious program offers students opportunities for academic and personal growth through a well-rounded experience that combines a rigorous liberal arts and sciences curriculum with a rich co-curricular and residential life component.
Students must complete a competitive application process and are evaluated alongside peers from across the state. Those selected have the unique opportunity to attend the program free of charge during the summer before their senior year.
We will be hosting a RAP session on Thursday, September 11th, for all interested juniors. During this session, we will provide important information about the application process. If you are interested in attending, please sign up for the RAP through the SOS system.
If you have an AP class during your RAP time, please speak with your teacher for permission to attend, as the information shared will be valuable for any student considering applying.
For additional details, you are encouraged to visit the GSP website at gsp.ky.gov or stop by the guidance office with any questions.
Students who do not have a Monday RAP at RYLE due to dual enrollment, vocational school, homebuilders, etc are expected to complete this survey, as well. They can access the survey under BCS bookmarks.
We're excited to announce that our school counselors are now using Apptegy to stay connected with students! Whether it's reminders about upcoming deadlines, wellness tips, or important academic updates, students can now receive direct messages from their counselors right through the app. Be sure to check your notifications regularly so you don’t miss out on helpful info and support!
