DISTANCE LEARNING FAMILIES
We hope that all students will return to in-person instruction this school year unless they have an extenuating circumstance where they need to remain at home in distance learning. If you are unsure, please contact your school office to discuss what this might mean for your family.
Students needing to remain in distance learning for the remainder of the school year will….
Receive an independent unit of study for the remainder of the school year. This unit of study will consist of academic work created by RVUSD credentialed teachers that is intended to be completed independently as much as possible, although there may be some lessons that need to be supported by parents. Please pick up your unit of Study from the office.
Have a live interaction with the current classroom teacher for 30-60 minutes three days a week. This will be scheduled by the classroom teacher and communicated to the students. Ms. Lister and Dr. Haupt will continue their music and science zooms in the afternoons.
Continue to have access to enrichment activities on Wednesdays that are updated each week through May 19th.
ATTENDANCE
Please report any student absences to the school offices. Due to the increased health and safety rules all absences for students attending in-person learning are very detailed, you cannot call in an absence to your child's teacher.
