Hello, Jr/Sr High Students and Families, Attached you will find the updated Virtual Schedule for the Jr/Sr High. Mr. Piatti and Mr. Supensky have enacted these plans starting tomorrow and running thru Monday, May 10th. The expectations in the plan are identical to those we utilized at the end of our last shut down. Please note the highlighted attendance expectations as that was an area some students struggled with. Any students in our Pathways to Success Program should look for emails from a mentor in the next 24 hours. We plan to return on May 11th and go straight into 3-8 testing for those students. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns. Link to Virtual Schedule: https://5il.co/s7o7 Jeff Busch 8-12 School Counselor 315-858-0610 ext. 2352 jbusch@richfieldcsd.org
