RLD High School News & Information
Covering topics from early graduation options to educational news and events.
Dear Students and Families,
My name is Edwin Ramos, and it is both an honor and a privilege to serve as Principal at Robert L. Duffy High School of Television and Film Production, where we are committed to providing every student with a supportive and enriching educational experience.
As a 20-year veteran of the United States Marine Corps, I bring to this role a deep sense of duty, discipline, and a lifelong commitment to leadership and service. After retiring from the Marine Corps, I began my second career in education in the great state of Massachusetts. Over the years, I have had the opportunity to serve in multiple capacities—including Teacher, Dean of Students, Assistant Principal, and now Principal. These roles have given me valuable insight into what it takes to guide students toward success, both academically and personally.
My educational platform is straightforward: I believe that every student can learn when provided with the right environment. At Robert L. Duffy High School, we strive to ensure success for all students by fostering a secure and positive learning environment centered around project-based learning. Our greatest strength lies in building strong relationships—not only with our students but also with their families and the broader school community.
We are proud to offer our students a variety of opportunities that prepare them for the real world. One of the hallmark programs of Robert L. Duffy High School is the opportunity for students to earn certification in Television and Film Production. In addition to a rigorous, personalized academic curriculum, students have the chance to earn elective credits through part-time work outside of school. Our team of experienced educators and industry professionals guide students in developing the skills necessary to earn certifications and launch into rewarding careers.
At Duffy, we understand that every student’s journey is unique. Whether a student is behind on credits, balancing school with a job, or simply in need of a more personalized schedule—we are here to help. We offer credit recovery programs, individual tutoring, and customized scheduling options to meet each student’s needs. Our small-school setting allows us to offer innovative and individualized educational opportunities unlike any other high school.
This Student and Family Handbook is your guide to the key policies, expectations, and procedures that define our school community. Please take the time to read it carefully, as it contains essential information for your student’s success.
We are excited to partner with you in your student’s educational journey. The effort and dedication your student invests in their education will open doors to a promising and fulfilling future. At Robert L. Duffy High School, we will work hard every day to support that success—and we ask the same of each student who walks through our doors.
Thank you for choosing Robert L. Duffy High School. Let’s make this a successful and memorable school year—together.
Sincerely,
Edwin Ramos
Principal Robert L. Duffy High School
School/Classroom Visit Policy
Parents of Enrolled Students. In accordance with Arizona law, parents of students enrolled at the school may request to visit, tour, or observe their child’s classroom (a “campus visit”), subject to the following parameters:
- All campus visit requests must be received by the school at least 24 hours in advance of the proposed visit, provided that the school, in its sole discretion, may waive the 24-hour advance notice requirement on a case-by-case basis.
- Campus visit requests will be promptly reviewed by the principal, with input from the classroom teacher.
- Campus visit requests will be approved unless they threaten to interfere with the physical, intellectual, social, or emotional health and/or safety of students and staff.
During any approved campus visit, parents will be subject to all policies applicable to campus visitors generally, including safety requirements for providing identification, signing in and out of the campus, and if applicable, being accompanied by school staff.
Parents of Potential Students. In accordance with Arizona law, parents who wish to enroll their child in the school may request a campus visit, subject to the same parameters set forth above for parents of enrolled students. In addition, parents of potential students will be required to be accompanied at all times during any campus visit by a current staff member.
Scheduling. Approved campus visits will be scheduled at a mutually convenient time for the school and the parents, and may be limited to a specific time frame, at the school’s discretion.
Health and Safety Parameters. For purposes of this policy, the following requests threaten to interfere with the physical, intellectual, social, or emotional health and/or safety of students and staff, and are therefore not allowed:
- Requests for campus visits during state testing, other testing periods, or at other times that would clearly interfere with educational instruction or disrupt the educational environment.
- Requests for campus visits by parents who have demonstrated failure to abide by Parent Behavioral Expectations (set forth below), or who have otherwise failed to abide by campus visitation policies of the school.
- Requests that, for other reasons, threaten to interfere with the physical, intellectual, social, or emotional health and/or safety of students and staff.
Parent Behavioral Expectations. During any campus visit, parents are expected and required to comply with all campus visitor procedures and to comport themselves at all times with appropriate decorum and in a manner that is respectful and conducive to an environment in which the educational objectives of the school can be effectively administered. Consistent with this expectation, any parental behavior that constitutes harassment, bullying, or verbal or physical abuse of staff or students, or that otherwise disrupts the educational environment is expressly prohibited.
In addition, parents may not interfere with instruction or distract from the instructional environment, nor may parents help their child with their schoolwork during a campus visit, unless specifically allowed by the classroom teacher.
Parents who disregard these behavioral expectations while on school grounds will be ejected from campus; may be prohibited from future campus visits or subject to other limitations on future campus visits; and may be subject to other consequences under applicable law or policy.
