Important Announcements!
Rainy Day Procedures:
We will pivot all middle and high schools to virtual learning if there is a 30% or greater chance of rain.
We will be using a 48-hour notification procedure for parents and students if we shift Vista Classic students from in-person to virtual for the rainy day or days.
We do not have a rain day identified at the moment; however, we will notify all middle and high school parents 48 hours before we implement a rainy day schedule.
This pertains only to secondary students; elementary students will continue to be on campus with Vista Classic on rainy days.

Classic Learning Model Reminders:
Please remember that it is crucial that our entire RMS community follow clear expectations so that we can stay as safe possible. These expectations will include procedures and requirements for...
- wearing of face coverings
- arrival and dismissal
- one directional hallways during passing periods and lunch
- social distancing inside and outside of the classroom
- lunch procedures
- bringing their charged Chromebook and personal supplies every day
- practicing safe hygiene, including washing hands frequently and using hand sanitizer when entering classrooms
- daily health screening of your student
To help our students understand and follow these expectations, we have shared an RMS COVID-19 Student Agreement that we have asked students and parents to sign. It is so important that we all do our part to stay safe. We also reviewed these guidelines in detail with students on Tuesday, 10/20.
We will need our families to be partners in these efforts to keep everyone safe by reinforcing these requirements and by ensuring that if students are showing ANY symptoms of COVID-19, they must not come to school. Please see the detailed information below on how to screen for symptoms and what to do if there has been confirmed exposure to or a confirmed case of COVID-19.
To support our staff at school, we have implemented many precautions as well, including providing the following:
- Masks for each staff member
- Daily self screening for each staff member and daily temperature checks
- Hand sanitizer for each Classic classroom
- Hand soap and paper towels for each restroom and rooms with sinks
- Seven new handwashing stations around campus
- Cleaning supplies for every teacher if they choose to wipe down common areas or desks
- Regular sanitizing throughout the day of restrooms and common areas
- Isolation plans for anyone showing symptoms on campus
- HEPA filters for any classroom that does not have opening windows
- Social distancing, where possible, in classrooms. Please note that while the average number of students in our core classes is closer to 25, we will have classes that have up to 30 students. Our PE and elective classes are larger than that, but will be held outside or in the MPR. This makes it even more important that students follow their agreements.
