Below is information regarding the live streaming option that will begin on Monday, November 22nd for students who cannot be in school due to COVID quarantine and/or isolation but are well enough to continue learning remotely. The district’s message regarding live streaming is below. Please note the additional information we have added in red.
Letter from District:
I am excited to share with you some important news. Next week, RUSD middle schools will be rolling out a live stream option for students who cannot be in school due to COVID quarantine and/or isolation but are well enough to continue learning remotely.
How Live Streaming will Work
If your child is quarantined from school, the teacher will share a link to Google Meet with your child in their Google Classroom. (Each teacher’s link will be different and is found in the Google Classroom banner).
Your child should log in to class at the normal time(s). (Your child should arrive on time).
Your child will be able to watch classroom instruction. (Please note that teachers do not always do whole-class direct instruction).
This is only a live stream, so your child will not be able to engage with the teacher or class, but will be able to hear class instruction. Students can communicate with their
teacher via Google Classroom or email. The chat feature in the Google Meet will not be available.
Please note, the live stream option is only available for students who are quarantined or isolated due to COVID; it is not available for students who choose to remain home for other reasons.
Please note, we are not always notified ahead of time when students are home due to COVID-19 related reasons. Thus, NOTIFY your child’s teachers if your child will be attending class via Google Meet . We will not be live streaming when we do not have students absent for COVID related reasons. Please note that we teach from 8:35-2:00 pm and do not always see our emails during this time. Our emails are listed below.
We will not be live streaming when there is a substitute teacher.
If you have questions specific to live streaming, please email info@rusd.org.
If your child cannot be in school due to COVID quarantine, but feels well enough to keep learning, please make sure they take advantage of this opportunity!

PTA - Check out the latest fundraiser
Show your school spirit and proudly display the mission for the year ahead!
This is the first if many important fundraisers this year. We have missed two Carnivals (our largest fundraiser of the year ) and took a step back last year to allow families to focus on remote learning and the important things we all needed to take care of at home. This year we hope to move #ForwardTogether!
This is a direct ship fundraiser. This will prevent any delays in getting your order in the event we can't be at school to sort and distribute spirit wear.
Thank you in advance for supporting Gifford School PTA!
