Learning Model Commitment Change Opportunity
RISD parents have the opportunity in advance of each quarterly grading period to change the instructional choice for students. The window of opportunity to request a change for how your child receives instruction for the second grading period, either virtual or face to face, will be offered from September 29 through October 2.
Please carefully consider your choice, as once a change is made, then that will be your child’s instructional model throughout the second grading period until the third quarterly grading period begins on January 5.
Parents who do not wish to change the instructional choice for their student do not need to respond or take any further action. The change process is only for families who wish to change their choice. Please note that because of the substantial scheduling challenges and limitations inherent to providing two simultaneous types of instruction, RISD is unable to accommodate requests for changes outside of the window in advance of each new grading period.
