We're excited to be on a phased approach for opening Belmont & Manning Elementary because it means we get to see our students face to face very soon. Monday, Oct. 5 we welcome our Pre-K & Kindergarten. Oct. 12, first and second grade, and Oct. 20 third through fifth will join them. The health and safety of our students, faculty and staff is our top priority — that’s why we will be following state mandates and requiring everyone to wear a cloth face covering to lessen the spread of the coronavirus and to protect the RRGSD community. Parents, please remember masks are required for everyone while on school property.

Student Alert: The Google suite is down at this time. Our team is in contact with Google.
Student Alert: All Google suite services have been restored.
This is to notify our RRGSD community that we have seen a sudden spike in suspected cases of COVID-19 among staff members. This has been evident through our student services staff, facilities staff, and instructional staff. Due to this recent concern, we are making every effort to minimize contact with anyone who is suspected of having COVID-19 symptoms or a positive test. We will continue to consolidate our resources as employees are required to stay at home under the current state mandates. We will continue to keep our services up and running as best as possible. As of today, we have 81 staff member incidents and 5 positive cases. Please refer to our RRGSD website COVID-19 dashboard page for the latest data.
