We will implement any requirements from health officials to ensure the safety of all students and staff for this to happen. These circumstances will continue to be monitored throughout the summer and if any adjustments need to be made to instruction delivery, services, tuition, etc., we will communicate those changes to you at the appropriate time.

Immunizations are deemed essential medical appointments to minimize serious health impacts for your child and ensure the safety of others in the RCS community. The MN Department of Health cautions that slowing or stopping access to vaccinations increases our risk of other disease outbreaks.
