COVID19 Symptoms
All NC Schools to Close March 16-30
We have received word from Governor Roy Cooper and the NC Superintendent of Public Instruction that, starting Monday, all North Carolina public schools will be closed. There will be no school for students for at least two weeks, March 16-30.
Our building will be open on Monday, as a teacher workday, to allow staff and students to retrieve personal items/resources. Students should plan to pick up what they need and leave without spending a lot of time in the building.
More guidance will come from the state, probably tomorrow. We will keep everyone informed as we receive updates.

Preparations for Possible School Closure
Due to the current situation regarding Coronavirus, we at RCS have been preparing for instructional delivery in the event schools have to be closed. We hope this does not happen, but we will always put the safety and well being of our students and staff first.
If schools have to be closed, our teachers will use Canvas to deliver instruction and assignments to our students. We are fortunate that all of our students have Chromebooks and are familiar with using the Canvas platform.
Teachers can upload videos of their instruction and place assignments on Canvas for the students to access. All assignments will have a due date that the work must be completed by. Teachers will also post specific times they will be available if students have questions about the instruction or the assignment.
We hope we do not have to use our distance learning plan, but our staff is prepared to do so if we have to close schools.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

RCS High School Curriculum Night Tonight
Before high school students begin registering for classes, RCS will offer a High School Curriculum Night tonight, Tuesday, March 10, at 6 p.m. in the Multipurpose Room. Parents and students will be able to ask if CP, Honors or AP classes are best, and find out how to prepare for the opportunity to take PPC classes. Students and parents will also learn which electives are available, and much more. Students and parents will also have a chance to meet the high school staff and ask questions. Rising ninth graders are highly encouraged to attend, but rising 10th -12th graders are welcome as well. Please join us for this pre-registration event.
