Weekly Report #25: Friday, February 19, 2021
In-Person and Distance Learning Model: April 5
Beginning April 5, RPS secondary schools will be returning to our In-person Learning Model. Here are details about what you can expect:
- Teachers will deliver instruction to students in-person using expected mitigation strategies.
- Distance Learning students will follow along live, be provided short bursts of instruction, and/or offered activities to complete on their own.
- We will follow an 8-period day. This means all students, whether in-person or DL, will attend each class (periods 1-8) daily.
- The school day will be 7:40 am – 2 pm.
***Based on the Mid-Year Registration you filled out at the beginning of February:
- Families that selected the Hybrid Model will be moved to the In-Person Model.
- Families that selected to continue Distance Learning will stay Distance Learning.
- If this is correct, do nothing.
- If this is incorrect, please respond to Alyssa Larue at allarue@rochesterschools.org clarifying your model and/or transportation preference.

JOHN ADAMS MIDDLE SCHOOL IS NOW OFFERING LIBRARY BOOK DELIVERY
To request a library book, fill out the form found in ClassLink under the Library/Media tab. Once completed hit Submit.
Book deliveries will occur every Tuesday and Friday from 11-2 pm. These will be delivered by John Adams staff members. We will simply be doing deliveries like Federal Express. We will leave on your step and ring the doorbell.
To aide you with the selection of a book, I recommend using the John Adams online catalog found within ClassLink under the Library/Media tab. When you find a title you want to request, make sure under the Status column that it says it’s available.
