Thanks to our students and their families for being vigilant by wearing your mask when you enter campus. We’re also appreciative of the parents who are doing the right thing every day by monitoring their children for symptoms, seeking medical assistance and testing when children show symptoms, and notifying us. We got this! #RRGSDCommunity #KidsAreOurCustomers
We're happy to have these new faces in our classrooms at Manning Elementary. After attending ECU, Ms. Rightmyer has returned to teach in her hometown.

Parents: Monday, Oct 5th we will welcome back our Pre-K and Kindergarten students only. We've created a helpful guide to answer some of your questions regarding masks, COVID-19 screening & more. https://www.rrgsd.org/page/back-to-school-central
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.
We're excited to welcome our first group of students back to the classroom on Monday, Oct. 5. Here's our Plan A staggered entry schedule for elementary school. The RRGSD Board of Trustees will meet in October to discuss Grades 6-12 and athletics. #KidsAreOurCustomers
Attention Parents: We are experiencing significant issues with Google this afternoon, so students may not be able to access their Meets/Google Classroom. We hope to have this issue resolved soon!
