RIS will continue to offer virtual Fridays to our students every week. Students may access and submit work from home each Friday. Students are expected to do all assignments whether they are on-site or learning from home. Students may reach out to teachers via email or Google Classroom for assistance. We wish everyone a happy, healthy weekend ahead!

We urge each of you to do your part in helping to keep our school safe. If any members of your household exhibit symptoms of COVID-19 or test positive, all members of your household should be quarantined. Please do not send your student to school even if they are not symptomatic as they are likely to be contagious to others. Your student can access and submit all assignments from home while they are quarantined. Thank you for your help as we all work together to keep school safe for everyone.
