COVID 19 MOVING FORWARD
Hello RCAS families,

On June 22, the Board of Education will be reviewing the RCAS Resocialization of Activities Plan for summer activities. The recommendation at this meeting will be to start Phase 1 of the plan on June 23. This plan is pending board approval along with local COVID-19 trend data. Once the plan has been approved, we will release the plan for families to review in order to guide your decisions as to what extent you wish for your children to participate.
Activities Directors will be meeting with coaches and advisors to put together tentative schedules based on safety measures and guidelines of the plan. Once these are finalized coaches and advisors will communicate directly with families regarding their school’s schedule.
Thank you for being understanding and patient as we navigate through this global pandemic. Our number one priority is keeping our students and staff safe, while seeking to provide opportunities to gradually re-engage in activities.

Be well and stay healthy,

RCAS Leadership
