All RCSD schools will return to in-person learning on Tuesday, January 18, 2022.

The District is continuously monitoring the number of staff absences, and when we cannot cover these absences, we will transition to remote learning at individual school buildings or the entire District.
All students should continue to bring their technology to and from school each day. We will inform you as soon as possible on future transitions as they occur.
