Elementary Parents: As a reminder, Plan A is staggered. This means that different grade levels will begin in-person instruction on different days. Kindergarten Oct. 8 (teachers will inform parents of their orientation day Oct 5, 6, or 7.) Grades 1 & 2 will report Oct. 12. Grades 3-5 will report on Oct.20. Please do not send your child to school until their official start date. #KidsAreOurCustomers
Place to Play will begin morning operation on Oct. 8. The cost is $25 a month and we must have an application in hand for your child to start. Screening protocols will be in place and students will be required to wear a mask during this time as well. Contact Clara Hearne to speak to PTP staff. The opening of afternoon Place to Play has yet to be determined. #KidsAreOurCustomers
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
Parents: Mid-term progress reports were emailed to parent or student accounts this week. If you did not receive these important updates, please call or email your child's teacher. #KidsAreOurCustomers

Belmont Chromebook Pick Up Reminder:
Grades K-2: Thursday, August 13th 9 to 11 a.m.
Grades 3-5: Friday, August 14th 9 to 11 a.m.
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
