Distance Learning Updates from RCSD
Dear Community,
Please take a few minutes to read through the RCSD Parent's Guides in the attached link. It provides a comprehensive list of grade level Distance Learning expectations along with resources for students and families.
Please note that next week teachers and staff will be packing up their classrooms in staggered schedules and will be assigning work but will not be able to do Google Meet check ins and teaching for most of next week.
Grades k-1: Distance Learning Packets are attached to this newsletter. You can also pick up a learning packet from Orion School on Monday-Wednesday, April 20-2 between 9am-2pm.
The kinder packet was created by Ms. Menser but is appropriate for all kindergarten students.
Grades 2-5 Distance Learning continues online with the classroom teacher. Please see link below for district expectations by grade.
