1. Principal reports on reopening plans
River Forest Families,
The State of Indiana has made constant changes and has not provided clear guidance for schools. We have heard many concerns from our families, teachers, and principals. Because of these reasons, and in consulting with our School Board, the River Forest School Calendar will be adjusted. Our first e-Learning Day will take place on Tuesday, August 25th. This will provide more time for schools to work with parents and students for registration, scheduling, and assist with their Chromebooks and technology. This will help to ensure that our new school year begins the best way that it can. Principals will be providing parents more detailed plans for each school. If you have not registered your children, please contact your school.
Thank you,
Dr. Disney
Familias de River Forest,
El estado de Indiana ha hecho cambios constantes y no ha dado una guía clara para las escuelas. Hemos escuchado muchas dudas de nuestras familias, maestros y directores. Por estas razones, y en consulta con nuestro Consejo Escolar, se ajustará el Calendario Escolar de River Forest. Nuestro primer día de e-Learning será el martes 25 de agosto. Esto dará más tiempo para que las escuelas trabajen con los padres y los estudiantes para el registro, la programación, y ayudar con sus Chromebooks y tecnología. Esto ayudará a asegurar que nuestro nuevo año escolar comience de la mejor manera posible. Los directores darán a los padres planes más detallados para cada escuela. Si no ha registrado a sus hijos, llame a su escuela.
Gracias,
Dr. Disney

Attention RFCSC Parents,
The Athletics and Extra-Curricular guidelines have been updated on our Return to Learn plan. The plan now states:
"Students participating in extracurricular must be aware of guidelines afforded by IHSAA regarding eligibility requirements as they relate to the minimum number of periods students must attend class in-person to remain eligible for sanctioned participation when the schools are open. Meaning all students, whether students choose option A (attend class at school) or option B (attend eLearning/remote class) may participate in extra-curricular if they have completed a release form, meet IHSAA requirements of attendance in eLearning/remote class or in person class, and maintain eligibility. "
