Dear RCPS Community,
To date, we have missed nine full-days of school because of inclement weather conditions. Since we have more than five weeks of winter weather ahead of us and knowing that we must meet the state requirement of 990 hours of instruction we are adjusting the RCPS calendar. Monday, February 17, and Tuesday, February 18, will now be regular school days for students.
These two days were originally scheduled as a division in-service and parent-teacher conference day; these dates will now serve as instructional days to help maintain our academic schedule. We understand that this may require adjustments for some families, and we appreciate your flexibility and support in prioritizing student learning.
If you have any questions regarding this change, please reach out to your child’s school. Thank you for your understanding as we work to ensure continuity in instruction while preparing for potential weather-related disruptions.
Sincerely,
Larry Shifflett, Ed.D.
Division Superintendent
