Principal's Brief
I wanted to find a way to stay connected with you and keep you updated with things related to Reid Ross during this period of school closure and the COVID-19 pandemic. I hope that you will find this information helpful while students are learning at home.
As you are aware, the Governor has ordered all K-12 public schools closed until at least May 15th. That means that Reid Ross Classical School is closed including the office. All staff are working remotely at home during this period of closure. All staff, including office staff, may be reached during normal business hours via email. For a complete email list, please visit our school website and click the Staff Directory. All current emails are listed there.
All teachers will be available to assist students and address parent questions from 9:00- 12:00 daily. Please email them for assistance with assignments or coursework. Please make sure students are communicating with their teachers regularly.
Please know that we are here to support your needs during this period of transition. We hope that all of our families stay safe and heed the advice that is being given by state and local officials. We hope to see all of you real soon.
Yours in Education,
Felix M. Keyes
Principal
