PRE Student Outreach- We're headed YOUR way!

 

That's right! PRE will be on "wheels" and head into one of our school's communities, Polo Estates, on Monday September 28, 2020 between the hours of  11 AM and 12 NOON. During this outreach effort, it is our intent to visit with our students and/or families and help provide eLearning support, facilitate social & emotional well checks and meet your current school related needs. Although we are not able to provide advanced technical assistance, we can assist with getting students logged on to their device and help them gain access their teacher's Google Classroom. When we say that "we're in this together" we truly mean it! We look forward to seeing many of you on Monday!

We're 1/2 Way There!

 

Can you believe it? 

We're 1/2 way to the end of the first quarter of school! A lot has happened since the first day of school as we have worked to adjust to our new way of teaching and learning. Our teachers have worked harder now more than ever to ensure that your child gets the best opportunity possible to excel academically during this phase. Although we do not issue interim reports, you are strongly encouraged to log into Parent Portal today to check your child's progress so far this year. You should find grades for students in grades 2-5. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to your child's teacher.

Technology Insurance Fee

If you have not already done so, please log into Parent Portal to pay the $20 technology insurance fee before October 15, 2020.  This insurance fee covers 100% of the repair costs for all first-time instances of accidental damage in one school year.  The plan also covers the cost of device replacement in the event of theft, as long as a police report is filed and provided.  After October 15th, the option to purchase the insurance will no longer be available and families will be responsible for 100% of the cost of all damage repairs and/or fees associated with theft replacement. All fees are to be paid on Parent Portal and you can access Parent Portal by visiting parents.richland2.org.  

Phase 1 Meal Distribution

We are happy to share that during Phase One of our Back-to-School plan, Richland Two is now able to offer free meals to all students regardless of their free or reduced lunch status!  For specific locations, days, and times, click on the image below.  

Attendance Matters

Students are expected to attend "live" class sessions using Google Meet.  Attendance will be taken daily, just as it is when we are in the brick and mortar setting.  Students who attend "live" class sessions will be coded as present.  If a student does not attend a "live" class session, he/she will be coded as absent.

When a student is not able to attend a "live" class session, he/she will watch the recorded lesson and submit the Daily Participation Assignment (DPA).  The student's absence will then be changed to present.  The student will also be responsible for completing and submitting all make-up work.
