The Great Pumpkin wears a mask - you should too!
October is upon us and we are moving forward in our hybrid model. We continue to find ways to improve our daily lessons for our in-person and online students. We are becoming better at this every day. Here’s a quick and gentle reminder to all students and parents that we are recording actual grades this fall, it’s not pass/fail, so please get those assignments turned in. 

We have had a few positive individuals at RAHS test positive for COVID-19. Our nurses have done a fantastic job with the contact tracing and health protocols for these issues. We are working diligently to stay in our hybrid model, but please be aware that the possibility of moving to a fully virtual model still exists. We will give you as much notice as possible should this happen. 

With the above in mind, we are asking all students to do a self-evaluation of your health each day prior to coming to school. Please do not come to school if you are sick, if someone in your household has tested positive for COVID-19, if you have been tested but don't yet know the results, or if you have been identified as a close contact with someone who has tested positive.

Please remember that we require masks at all times while in the building, and we’re also practicing as much social distancing as we can.

Our fall activities are in full swing, and some will actually complete their season during this month. We want to thank our partner, Reedsburg Utility, for helping us provide live streaming of our events, it’s a great service for our families! 

As we navigate these uncertain times please feel free to contact us at school with any questions, comments, or concerns you may have.

Be safe and stay healthy!
