Remote Learning Key Info for the Times
- Students must complete 70% or more of graded work from March 13 onward, or they face summer school.
- Please review Infinite Campus for any grade marked “I” for “incomplete,” which means we have not received the assignment.
- The week of May 4-8th is our final week of 9:30 daily classes as well as new content and new assignments.
- The week of May 11th-15th is an opportunity for students to receive teacher support, to submit any assignments they’ve missed (marked “incomplete” in Infinite Campus), and/or to submit any assignments for better grades.
- All student work is due May 15th (we ask any student completing paper FCS work packets handed out at food distribution sites to turn them in by May 13th so we have time to get them to the teachers to grade!).
- Connections classes are providing instruction. Classroom codes for google classroom are HERE.
- All teachers lesson plans for the entire remote learning period are on the Remote Learning page of our website should any student and family need to review past work assignments.
Yearbooks sales are continuing!
To purchase one, please use OSP (Online School Payments) on the home page of the website. Cost is $30. Books will be delivered in May and distribution information will be provided at that time. Please contact Ms. Kosloski at Kosloski@fultonschools.org if you aren’t sure if you ordered one.
Art In Place Contest
We challenge all Ridgeview students to make a submission to one of our arts teachers (Mr. McGraw, Ms. Stanton, Mrs. Dixon, and Mrs. Gilbert) to tell us how Art Uplifts, especially during this time when we are all sheltering in place – thus the name of our contest “Art in Place.” Make it your free-time or craft-time project this weekend or any day in the coming weeks, and GET CREATIVE! Submit a 3-minute or less video of you performing art or of art you’ve created with a voiceover of how Art Uplifts, and use the name “Art in Place” in your video. Submit it to us. We’re selecting winners to be recognized by Ridgeview and Sandy Springs Arts Foundation, and we can’t wait to share the power of middle school arts with others in our community.
Through this incredible partnership, Sandy Springs Arts Foundation has committed a donation of $5,000 to the RCMS Foundation to specifically support arts and music funding for next school year!
For device support: Students or Parent/Guardians should call the Remote Learning Hotline (470) 254-2300, option 8
This will put you in touch with an STS to review the issue. If it can’t be resolved, another device will be issued through an appointment in the coming weeks.
Services provided by the Hotline are:
- Troubleshooting a current device; if problem persists –
- Creating an appointment to swap a device or a power cable
- Creating an appointment to obtain a new device (grades 3 – 12, including newly enrolled students)
- Password reset or accessibility issues (same Hotline, option 9)
All other issues should be handled through our regular Service Desk 470-254-HELP
