My name is Jaime Tejada and I am excited to serve as the Principal of RLD High School. I have served students in K-12 schools for 27 years in Central and West Phoenix. Although I was born in New Jersey, I have lived in Phoenix most of my life. I come from a family of immigrants and am proud of my heritage and the hard work it takes to be successful.
At RLD, we will strive to overcome the challenges to being successful. We have developed strong partnerships with local community organizations to provide physical and emotional support when needed. Our teachers are supportive and we have implemented a style of individualized instruction to ensure that student needs are being met in the classroom, whether it means recovering a credit or taking extra courses. In order to be successful, we must work together to create a positive culture of learning.
There is no one way to reach student goals. As part of Career Success Schools, we work on being innovative and creating relevant learning opportunities. We will be supportive to students and help them be ready for further education or the work force. We have a wonderful state of the art TV and Film Production program. We hope our students will be prepared to work and continue learning the world of production, broadcast, and media.
As part of our journey, we must learn to work together in a school environment. Our goal is to create an environment of respect, self-worth, caring, and support. Our vision and central focus is to empower our students with skills to succeed through meaningful connections and relevant learning. We also are adopting Restorative Practices to provide an opportunity to communicate and resolve conflict and inequities as a barrier to learning. It is our hope that our practices and policies will guide our students to successful completion, promotion, and graduation. It is the Comet Way.
If you should have any questions, please stop by or call us at 602-393-4200. Myself or RLD’s staff would to give you a tour of our campus and address any concerns you may have.

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.
