Your Voice Matters at RCMS
Phase I Re-Opening
How will this look at RCMS?
- Phase I of Fulton County Schools' Re-Opening Plan is scheduled to begin on September 8th.
- All students in grades 6-8 may make an appointment to meet their teacher, counselor, or service provider during office hours or on asynchronous Wednesday afternoons.
- Prior to students attending an approved and scheduled appointment, they must complete an at-home health screening.
- Students visiting the school are required to wear a mask at all times.
- Phase I is designed to slowly bring students back into the building in order to re-acclimate to school and build relationships.
Where can I find more information?
- Join the General PTA & Foundation meeting on September 10th to hear from Dr. Blackwell about Phase I and future phases.
- Additional information about the Fulton County Schools Phased Re-Opening Plan may be found by clicking here.
