| in_person_learning_handbook_reuther_middle_school_october_2020.pdf |
Students assigned to Cohort A attend live classes on Monday and Tuesday. Students in Cohort B attend live classes on Thursday and Friday.
- ALL students attend the Wednesday classes remotely.
- Lunch schedules/assignments will be provided by the school on the first day of in-person learning.
- Attendance will be taken on the in person cohort days and on Wednesday for all students.
- Attending the end of day session (1:45 - 2:30) on non-cohort days is at the discretion of the teacher and the student. Students should be aware of the expectations and plans of their classroom teacher. This time will generally be used for questions and clarifications, similar to office hours.
- Students enrolled in a class in another building will be able to travel to that building for the class.
- Middle School students begin in-person one week prior to High Schools, so middle school students enrolled in a high school course will be able to go to the media center at their middle school to log into the course.
- As of the week of October 19th, students will be provided bus transportation to the RHS.

The 2020 Back-to-School List for Teens’ Emotional Well-Being
It’s been so exciting to welcome our crusaders back to school this week! We have enjoyed re-connecting with them, meeting new students, and of course greeting our youngest 6th grade crusaders! We can’t thank you enough for your support in getting them ready for the most unique “back to school” experience ever!
As counselors, we realize that our students may be feeling a variety of emotions with returning back to school, many of which are normal. As we focus on the academics and learning, we also want to highlight the importance of paying attention to their mental health. It’s a good time to show patience, grace, and understanding especially as we begin the new school year. Here are the essentials teenagers will need for the strange school year ahead.
Please take a couple of minutes and read through this timely and helpful article.
