We love our students, but no, you can't come to school if...
- If your child is demonstrating symptoms of illness (cough, runny nose, fever, body aches, headache, fatigue) that are not attributable to another health condition (such as allergies, asthma, immune disorders, etc.): it's not ok.
- If your child has taken a covid-19 test, and you're still waiting on results: it's not ok.
- If your child has taken a covid-19 test, and you've received a negative result: it's not ok until you've reported the test and the result, receiving clearance from the portal and school administration.
- If your child has tested positive for covid-19: it's not ok.
- If your child has been in direct contact (6 ft., longer than 15 min) with a positive covid-19 individual: it's not ok.
- Each of these above is reportable to school administration and https://www.fultonschools.org/ReportCOVID.
We ask that you always and every time be overly cautious rather than taking a risk.

RCMS Foundation Funds Support Safer Air in Band & Chorus
It’s no secret that singing and playing a wind instrument produces more aerosols. The Foundation wanted to help our almost 600 participating music students by having every precaution available to keep the air as germ-free as possible.
Foundation funds purchased portable air filters for music rooms. The filters have high CADR 950 & Square Foot (3700’sq) coverage and a higher grade of HEPA - H13 Filters for 99.9% particle removal. Ms. Gilbert, Chorus Director, enthusiastically stated “This will provide additional circulation and will filter the air in our rooms which will be super helpful!”
All Foundation donations directly support Music and Sports programming. Remember that Basketball is starting soon (see below). The Foundation is welcoming donors to support these programs, students, and Educators. Donate and learn more: https://rcmsfoundation.org/.
