RMS Virtual Learning Norms (how we productively participate in virtual learning)
Students, To help you when you are learning from home the teachers have created a quick guide to help you get connected to their live stream sessions during the school day. Please look at this document because access to your teacher's Meet may have changed. The nicknames provided will start Monday morning, so please be prepared for your Meets. We will continue to use these nicknames until further notice. If you have problems accessing any Meet, please let your teacher know and email Mrs. Harwood (harwood@hhasd.org). We will help you try to connect as soon as possible so you do not miss too much instructional time.

Y-Care Programming
If you are interested in child care through the YCare program during the time of our closure please register utilizing the attached registration form. If there is enough interest to run the program, it will be hosted at Friess Lake Elementary. This program could start Monday, November 16 for middle school students if there is enough interest. The program will also run during the time when the entire district will be virtual for Friess Lake/Richfield students.
Even when virtual learning, please be sure to contact the RMS Office if you are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 or receive a positive test result. We must continue to monitor these occurrences to ensure our return on December 7th is a safe one. Thanks for your understanding and cooperation!

Still Relevant!
No School for Students December 11, 2020
On 8/31/2020 the U.S.D.A. announced waivers nationwide to allow districts to offer free meals to students through the National School Lunch Program's Seamless Summer Option. Through this program, meals are served at no charge to all students and the waivers are allowed through December 31, 2020, or until funds are exhausted. The program will begin automatically and there is no need to enroll.
The HHASD, at the time of this announcement, was not equipped staffing wise to offer this type of program. The district now finds itself at a point where we can offer free meals to our current face-to-face students and our virtual students only under the 'closed enrolled' status. The district can not be an open site at this time due to staffing constraints.
The offering of free meals will start October 1, 2020 and end on or before December 31, 2020. Students that have taken a lunch or breakfast in the month of September will have those meals charges reversed. Milk purchases are exempt from this program.
Virtual Learners Curbside Meal Program
In conjunction with the Summer Seamless Meal Program, our HHASD Virtual Learner families can use the link to place their Curbside Meal orders on a weekly basis. Orders must be placed between 9 AM Friday and 9 AM Monday. One survey completed for each child.
Information can be found permanently under the COVID -19 tab on our website.

Having a singular symptom of a cough, shortness of breath/trouble breathing, loss of sense of taste or smell or in combination with another symptom, would mean a 10 day + 24 hour quarantine period.
Any COVID testing typically will require a 4-5 day wait and requires a PCR test. A rapid test negative result is not acceptable at this time.
When to get COVID testing:
- If you are asymptomatic, wait 4-5 days to be tested so that you don't get a false negative for possibly testing too early.
- If you start experiencing symptoms, but only minor, still wait the 4-5 days to be tested.
- If you have multiple symptoms or a major symptom, please do NOT wait to be tested.
COVID-19 GUIDANCE
Below you will see two guiding documents that outline the expectations relating to health and safety protocols. We are looking to partner with families as we ask families to please keep your child home if he/she is displaying symptoms. Students will be informally monitored by the classroom teacher and sent to the office for more official screening if displaying symptoms.
If students have two or more symptoms he or she will need to be picked up and must follow these criteria:
**Remain out of school for 10 days and be symptom-free for 24 hours prior to returning.
OR
**Have a negative COVID test result.
