ATTENDANCE MATTERS in Remote Learning: A Note from Ms. Tonjes
A great way to remind your students to log in at the beginning of each class is the setting of alarms or timers on phones or their Chromebook. Other parents have talked about a written chart of the times (shown in the photo below) to help students visualize their schedules. It may require some experimentation to find the system that works best for your family.
Attendance is taken in the morning by teachers at the beginning of Block 1, and again at the beginning of each subsequent class. When your child is marked Absent during Remote Learning, you will receive a notification from the school via email, text and phone call. At that time, please contact your child to check on his or her engagement in school. Then contact the school. I ask that you do this in this order, as our teachers will be teaching from home. I will not have immediate information available as to whether or not your child is in the Zoom Conference.
Teachers are updating and correcting attendance this year over several days, based on student engagement in their classes, which is comprised of participation in the Zoom Conference and completion of work. This is in compliance with Ohio Department of Education policy.
All of that being said, please continue to call the school's attendance line at 614-501-5351 if your student will not participate in the Zoom Conferences. Written excuses can be sent to me via email at amanda.tonjes@reyn.org, and I encourage you to take a photo of doctor's excuses and email them to me as well.
Wishing you safe and happy holidays!

9X Secretary

RCS Second Semester Learning Model Declaration - Deadline Extended to December 4 at 5 P.M.
Good news! Based on feedback, we have extended the deadline for parents and families who want to change their child’s current learning model when second semester in-person learning begins. You can complete and submit this form by 5:00p.m., Friday, December 4, 2020.
Parents who wish to keep their child enrolled in his/her current learning model do not need to complete the form. We hope this extra time allows our parents to weigh their options before making a decision.
