Remote learning orientations are underway at RMS! Families attended small group sessions earlier this week to learn more about remote learning expectations and accessing educational programs. Our final remote learning orientation will be held on Monday, September 14 from 5:00-6:00PM. For families planning to attend the orientation, you may bring a device from home to use. Demonstration devices will also be available for use during orientation. Devices will also be distributed to students who indicated the need during the application process. For Monday night’s orientation, families are asked to park in the rear parking lot (near the gym) and enter from the bus entrance. As a reminder, all academic packets that have been assigned for RMS remote students are due by Friday, September 18.

RMS will host remote learning orientation sessions next week. It is vital for students and parents to be in attendance as we will review how to access educational programs and complete assignments. Families with more than one RMS remote learner may choose one session to attend for all students. Families are asked to bring devices from home, if available, to use during the orientation. Demonstration devices will be available for those who need them. Academic packets from this week should be turned in during orientation sessions. No academic packets will be collected on Tuesday, September 8. All previously assigned academic packets should be turned in by Friday, September 18. After this date, no academic packets will be collected or graded.
