Beginning September 8, 2021, the Rochester City School District will return to school five days a week for in-person learning.
We will offer a 100% remote learning option.

Families can choose the remote option in one of two ways:
Call their child’s school or through the PowerSchool Parent Portal via a computer.
Families must respond by Friday, May 7, 2021 to choose the remote option.
