Round Up News! After a very successful Pre-K and Kindergarten Round Up, I am excited to share the video that was created to showcase our learning community! I'm beyond grateful for talented RHE parents Blake and Emily McNay, who generously donated their time and created this amazing video for us! If you missed Round Up, or know a family that was unable to attend, please see the recorded Zoom events from both evenings below.

Virtual Learning Support The Virtual Learning Support page is the go-to resource for students and parents. Whether you're getting started using a digital device or online application for the first time or need to learn more about how to use a resource, you'll find the support you need here. Our Quick Reference Guides (QRGs) were designed to give you clear, step-by-step directions for completing common tasks within various applications. In addition to our QRGs, you will find helpful videos that walk you through the applications used for virtual learning. On this page, we've compiled information and resources specifically for students and parents to help with common learning tools like Google Classroom, Google Meet, Seesaw, ClassLink, and much more. For students who have received a district-issued device, we have several resources available to help parents and students with technical issues. Our goal is to ensure that parents and students have the knowledge and technology skills needed for success during virtual learning. |
