End of the Year Procedures
1. All library fines that have accumulated during the school closure will be waived.
2. Current freshmen, sophomores, and juniors will be returning their materials in the Fall on Schedule Pick-up Day, August 7th, 2020. This date may be subject to change!
3. Tentatively, we are planning for seniors to return their books and Chromebooks the Week of May 18th to May 22nd. Students should not come to campus until we confirm dates with them. We will be communicating with seniors and their families once we have approval from the County and District.
All other questions should be directed to me at jmccoy@rjuhsd.us.
