FACE COVERING EXEMPTION REQUESTS
REED CITY AREA PUBLIC SCHOOLS
FRIDAY, AUGUST 28, 2020
Parents:
Please submit any Face Covering/Mask Waiver Exemption Requests to building principals as soon as possible. The District Return to School Roadmap plan requires a review of all medical requests prior to implementing them. A medical request also creates a need for the District to initiate or process consideration of the request under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act or the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. Please be advised that students who are medically exempt from wearing masks may be required to wear face shields. The District may require additional precautions to ensure staff and student safety. If the District determines that your student is unable to safely attend school, the District may require your student to participate in our comparable Learn from Home virtual program.

Four very important updates below! Be safe! Be well!
1. We now have three outdoor wireless access points setup around the district. Attached is an image of where to park at each building for the best access. The name of the WiFi is “RCAPS_Public.”
2. When downloading Zoom on your Chromebook make sure to pick the correct app. It should say https://zoom.us in the “offered by” section. Image attached for the correct application.
3. We are noticing some issues with our Chromebooks and Hughesnet Internet. This is a tip from a district in PA. “We recommend you contact Hughesnet Support (1-866-347-3292) for instructions on making the following setting changes.
a. Disable IPV6 address conversion
b. Disable any Web Acceleration or Turbo”
4. Staff, students, and families can receive Michigan educational prices on devices for personal use!!!
Please note even before our current situation there have been delays in getting parts for computers out of China. Expect delays in shipping.

CRITICAL! During this time of mandated school closure, educators in Michigan are assessing online learning readiness. Please help this effort by completing this survey ASAP. Results will be compiled statewide and are due no later than April 2nd. bit.ly/iarc2020 THANKS!
To clarify the previous post: we just want to make sure students are able to check their school emails regularly, if you don't have anything yet, don't worry student learning opportunites will be coming soon. Any issues logging in reach out.
This message is specifically for students, parents please pass on to your 3rd-12th graders. Teachers would like to communicate with you, bottom line is they miss you! Please check your school emails for stuff to work on (not graded, or required). Use this link: j.mp/rcsmimail

A note from our kitchen staff:
SHARING THIS INFORMATION PLEASE READ!!!
REED CITY STUDENTS AND PARENTS!!
Hey, Friends. I know we didn't have a lot of time to get the word out about our meal program over shutdown. We had lots of left over breakfasts and lunches yesterday. A Skyward email was sent out yesterday around 5:30 explaining everything better. Can you please get the word out to anyone you may know that doesn't have internet access? We have a $7000 order from Gordon's Foods coming today so we can prep more meals to pass out at the high school from 12:30-3:00 on Friday. and deliver on the PM bus routes. We don't want ANY of it going to waste. I heard people say yesterday, "We don't necessarily need it and don't want to take from others that do." That's awesome and really thoughtful. But we have counted meals for every single child in the district, no matter what the household income is. Please take advantage of our resources. If you don't need it, please accept it and pass it along to someone you know who needs it.
A huge thank you to our amazing bus drivers and food service staff! Our METS staff in coordination with Chartwells staff is getting food out to our community! #CoyotePride #BetterTogether

Our elementary school students worked with the Muskegon River Watershed Assembly today to make gardens!
REMINDER: Thursday, September 13, 2020 is school picture day for Kindergarten through 5th Grade students
Mrs. Ruppert's first graders just recieved a boost thanks to a grant from Great Lakes Energy. GT Norman Elementary was one of 22 grant recipients chosen from 91 applicants. The grant was used to purchased a variety of STEAM materials that will be used for years to come in our classroom. Today we got our first chance to dig in and explore using some of the items purchased.
THANKS, Great Lakes Energy, for giving back to the community!
