RMS Parents..... As of right now, road conditions are good. However, all weather reports indicate that if the forecast is correct, road conditions will become dangerous in the morning about the time everyone would need to be in the roads. As an extra precaution, and do parents can better prepare, RMS will transition to distance learning tomorrow. Teachers sent tablets and instructions with younger children and older children will have regular lessons posted on google classroom. (Tell the kids, we will save a snow day for a day that we actually have snow snd they can enjoy!) Stay safe snd warm.

RMS parents.... 5th - 8th grade will remain home in distance learning this week. They will return on Monday, February 1st. We have a couple staff members who have tested positive or need to quarantine. There have not been any student cases associated with them. Out of added caution to our students and staff in that building and staffing issues, it is best for 5-8 grade to stay home, monitor their health and seek medical advice if needed. I would recommend that students remain home during this time in order to further protect them and others. Students will log into google classroom each day and complete their assignments given by core curriculum teachers. Students should complete their assignments each day. School will remain in-person learning for other grades that are open since there is not any spread in those grades. As always, we monitor our numbers on a daily basis, and will always keep you informed. If needed, we will not hesitate to quarantine any individuals or classes.
