RIS: This Wednesday, we are GOING GREEN on St. Patrick’s Day. We invite everyone to wear green and bring a reusable water bottle to show our support for conservation and the environment.
On Thursday, it’s Rock Your Socks in recognition of World Down Syndrome Day.
So get out your green duds and those crazy socks! Let’s have a great week at RIS!

A message from Superintendent Dr. Mark Gotcher:
RSD campuses will be closed until further notice for in-person learning. We will continue remote/virtual learning, and will exercise flexibility when assignments are to be completed. Please stay safe, RSD families!
Un mensaje del superintendente Dr. Mark Gotcher:
Los campus de RSD estarán cerrados hasta nuevo aviso para el aprendizaje en persona. Continuaremos con el aprendizaje remoto / virtual y ejerceremos flexibilidad cuando se completen las asignaciones. ¡Por favor, manténganse a salvo, familias de RSD!

Monday, 2-15-21, will be a remote learning day. Since we seldom get snow, we are extending due dates for remote assignments to allow time to play in the snow. Please follow our district messages for more information regarding remote learning during this week of wintry weather. Please reach out to teachers via Google Classroom or email should you need assistance with assignments. Stay safe and warm!

Due to the possibility of inclement weather conditions, RSD will pivot to remote learning on Thursday, Feb. 11th. All students will submit their work from home. Stay warm, Fifth Grade!
