2020 – 2021 School Year

RHS will reopen with Hybrid/Blended Schedule consisting of both in-person and remote learning.

• Students with last names A – L will attend Monday & Thursday while students with last names M – Z are remote and in-person on Tuesday and Friday.  Wednesday will be a Remote Learning Day for all students.
• This Hybrid/Blended Schedule will greatly minimize our group size on campus and in classrooms as well as reduce congestion, movement and improve our ability to social distance as necessary. 

The following procedures for Remote Learning will consist of:

• Synchronous Learning – students will learn at the same time as students who are in-person.  Students on Remote Learning will be required to follow their schedule and “remote” in to each class throughout the day for attendance purposes each period and to learn (listen to lectures and complete assigned work to be submitted electronically).
• Teachers may live stream or record their instruction while teaching their in-person students for students on Remote Learning.

• • All high school teachers for grades 9-12 will post assignments and lectures Monday through Friday, using Google Classroom.  Students are expected to log in via Google Meet to each class.
  • Remote Office Hours daily from 1:30 – 3:20 p.m Monday through Thursday and 1:30-2:40 Friday.  Any email sent after office hours will be answered the following school day.
  • Families opting for Remote Learning must commit for the quarter.  Families may not opt back and forth (day to day or week by week) between in-person and remote learning.
• Deadline for Remote Learning registration:  Friday, July 31, 2020 
• (Remote Learning Only option for Quarter 1:  August 21 through October 23)

• • Families must communicate whether they plan to return to in-person instruction or continue remotely for Quarter 2  by October 19th. 

• Students opting for Remote Learning will be expected to complete all assigned work, and grades will be counted. Teachers plan to return to regular grading practices.  

In the event there is a resurgence of the virus, and there is a school closure requiring us to adopt Remote Learning with no in-person instruction, the following guidelines for workloads will be implemented:

• Synchronous Learning – Students will have the ability to learn in real time by accessing the Google Meet each period for live instruction by the teacher.

• Asynchronous Learning – Students may learn material at different times and locations by viewing the recorded lesson.  Instruction and learning may not happen at the same time.  This will be required to meet the needs of our students and families with extenuating circumstances.
• The following schedule and student workloads will be adhered to:

• Student Workload During Remote Learning:

Students with Individualized Educational Plans or 504 Plans will continue to receive academic supports via Special Education Remote Learning Plan 

For further support contact:

• Laura Ballard, Director of Special Education Services at laura.ballard@rcusd.org 
• Jason Dandurand, 504 Coordinator at jason.dandurand@rcusd.org 

• The ISBE encourages districts to return to regular grading practices.  

• Grading practices prior to last year’s school closure will resume in 2020-21 and continue in the event there is a resurgence of the virus, resulting in another school closure.

• Grades will be recorded and will impact students’ cumulative grade (positively or negatively) depending on the grade. 

• The RHS Grades and Grading practices as outlined in the 2020-21 RHS Student Handbook will be applied and implemented for Remote Learning.  See Grades and Grading on page 18 of the RHS Student Handbook.
