Temporary Remote Learning

• Regardless of the model RPS is utilizing at any given time, parents can choose to temporarily have their child/children) engage in a remote learning model.

• Students will be required to engage regularly in a virtual learning environment.

• Temporary Remote Learning may not look exactly the same as the Full Remote Learning Model the district would enact if school buildings are closed.

Parents who elect to change their children’s learning model into or out of Cohort “C” (full time distance learning) may do so by:

• Elementary School Parents: Please directly contact the building principal via email and “cc” your child’s classroom teacher

• Middle and High School Parents: Please directly contact your child’s school counselor via email, and “cc” a building administrator

Students Access to Education

Parents will have the option for their child/children to engage in remote learning within one of the three reopening models. In a temporary remote learning environment, students will only be accessing their education virtually. Students will be expected to:

• • Attend virtual classes "live" when scheduled during the school day, on a daily basis

  • Engage in virtual interaction with peers and instructors

  • Submit all work in a timely manner

Students will follow their daily schedule digitally and have "live" access to classroom instruction. Teachers will leverage the Google Suite to convey content, engage temporary remote learners in "live" instruction and to assess students. The specifics of the learning model will vary by level. Accommodations will be made for assessments that meet students’ needs in a digital learning environment. At times, RHS students may be offered to take a course via a third party online platform.

For students participating in remote learning:

• RPS Chromebooks are available for all learners K-12

  • Internet accessible device with full keyboard

  • Microphone (built-in or external)
