Weekly Update
From VP-Elect Kamala Harris to the children of the USA:
"Dream with ambition. Lead with conviction, and see yourselves in a
way that others may not simply because they’ve never seen it before."
ALL FAMILIES -
Spring is coming quickly. ALL families will be receiving an email from the district to select your learning model for the Spring semester, which begins on February 1, 2021. Please remember that the email will come from "SVCforms." Your participation is essential to ensure we are staffed appropriately. As many of you know, it is very difficult to change learning models once we begin - and we thank every family who is making their learning model choice work.
CLASSIC FAMILIES -
We are back to in person learning. Please note that our return date to school is based on the day of exposure NOT the date of when we pivoted to virtual. Our district letters and communication reflect the accurate information and dates. If you have any questions, please reach out to the school. There was some confusion in what the county health team communicated with our families. As you know, we take scholar and staff safety VERY seriously. Thank you again for your work at home and doing your daily health check with your scholar! Better to be safe than sorry.
Classic scholars will receive their textbooks starting today (6th graders only) through Monday. These books stay at home through June.

VIRTUAL SCHOOL FAMILIES -
Thank you for your continued work with your scholar at home. Our Virtual teachers are working hard to create engaging lessons and offer supports for scholars to be successful.
WE WILL BE DISTRIBUTING TEXTBOOKS AND LEARNING MATERIALS TO OUR VIRTUAL SCHOLARS ON TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NEXT WEEK. APPOINTMENTS ARE REQUIRED. PLEASE ONLY BRING YOUR SCHOLAR AND LEAVE OTHER MEMBERS OF THE FAMILY AT HOME OR IN THE CAR. ALL PICKUPS WILL BE IN THE GYM. PLEASE SIGN UP AT PTCFast.com/SCHOOLS/RMMS. IF YOUR FAMILY IS CURRENTLY EXPERIENCING ANY COVID SYMPTOMS - PLEASE DO NOT COME TO SCHOOL UNTIL YOU ARE CLEARED. WE WILL SCHEDULE A SPECIAL DAY FOR YOUR FAMILY TO COME AT A LATER DATE.
As always, we are hoping to have more cameras on so that our teaching team can "see" our scholars. Much of our knowing if someone needs help happens through nonverbal communication - their faces usually tell us they don't understand something. Please remind your scholar to take advantage of office hours and opportunities for tutoring. Many teachers share that scholars are not showing up to this extra help. If you are not an Observer on your scholar's Canvas page, please take time to do that so you can see what they are doing.

CHECK YOUR PARENT PORTAL - KEEP YOUR EMERGENCY CONTACTS UPDATED!
With COVID-19 concerns, it is more important than ever that your emergency contacts are up-to-date. When we return to school, if a scholar shows any symptoms of COVID-19, we will be contacting you to pick them up immediately. This is for everyone's safety. If you are unsure about how to do update your Parent Portal in Aeries, please contact the front office for assistance. 760-631-4500
