RRGSD Families: Thanks for your patience today as we worked through the unforeseen technical issues with Google. As a reminder, all live lessons are recorded for students to review at their convenience. This ensures that all students have access to the material they need so they can get the most out of their virtual learning experience. We got this! #RRGSDFirstDay #KidsAreOurCustomers
Student Alert: Although many other districts across the state are still down. We are up and running! All tech issues should be resolved. Please know we are trying our best to repair all unforeseen technology issues from all ends. #RRGSDFirstDay
Student Alert: Google Meet is up and running again. If you're still unable to access, reboot your Chromebook. Happy First Day! #RRGSDFirstDay
Happy First Day! Let's see those first day of school photos. #RRGSDFirstDay
RRGSD Families: In the 100 years we've been a district, we've never started school like we will this year. Please remember the first two weeks are largely intended as an orientation period, in part to ensure that students have what they need to learn online. Our schools will begin full academic instruction as soon as it is feasible to do so. Teachers will also be flexible with assignments and grading for students who do not yet have technology access. Let's vow to be patient with one another and work together over these next few weeks to create a positive experience for our RRGSD students. Together, we can do this! #KidsAreOurCustomers
Immunization Reminder: Pre-K, Kindergarten, and 7th Grade students are required to have updated immunizations prior to starting school on August 17th even though we are beginning the year virtually. Additionally, rising Seniors are now required to have the meningococcal (Menactra) vaccine. September 15th is the deadline to submit your child’s records to their respective school nurse. This is especially important because when we do return to in-person instruction, they will not be allowed to return without the proper documentation. Appointments may be made with the Halifax County Health Department or your child's pediatrician. #KidsAreOurCustomer #BackToSchool
