Rocky Mountain School

RMS Parents... 🚀According to the Covid map published by the Ok State School Board Association, our county has an average of 59.9 new cases daily and moves us into the red category. 🚀I work with the state health dept. as needed with quarantine and possible exposure issues and will continue to do so to insure you and our community that our school is remaining a safe environment for students and staff. 🚀 As of now, we only have 3 staff members and 7 students in quarantine for next week. Only one of those is positive and I reported that to you at the beginning of this week. 🚀 RM will remain open for in person learning next week. We will constantly keep tabs on our numbers and will transition anyone or any group to distance learning if needed. 🚀 To reduce community spread, all ballgames will be canceled next week. 🚀 Remain diligent in practicing protocols and notifying us if your child is directly exposed and needs to quarantine, or if your child is sick and should remain home for a day or so. 😊 THANK YOU for making our students, staff, and community a priority!! Have a terrific and safe weekend!

RMS 1 of 2 messages...... October 26 - 30 Weather alert..... The next several days are supposed to be cold and wet with wind chills much lower than actual temperatures. Find those coats! COVID reminders.......... 😷 The health and safety of students and staff are always a priority. I have, and will continue, to work with health officials guidance to assure everyone is as safe as possible at all times. 😷 If you or someone in your house exhibit symptoms of COVID, staff and/or students should remain home until you know the said person is negative and their is no danger of spreading it. Students may participate in distance learning, complete their assignmentsat home and not be counted absent. 😷 If staff or students come into direct contact with someone who tests positive, you are obligated to stay home and let us know. I will work with the health department to determine if the student or staff member has to quarantine and for how long. Remember, this effects everyone differently. What may be a light case for one, might be life and death for another. 😷 Please make sure your child has a mask each morning. In addition, please make sure they have a spare mask or two in their bag. Wash masks after each wearing. 😷 It takes all of us being honest and working together to keep everyone safe. Thanks to everyone for being so diligent!!
