RCPS classes will be all virtual for Thursday, March 18, 2021, due to the potential for severe weather in our area overnight and in the early morning hours. Meal delivery routes will run for all students on Thursday.  

The National Weather Service indicates there are strong to severe storms expected to push across our area during the overnight and morning hours.

While all classes will continue virtually, we understand some families may be affected by  connectivity and power outage issues and students will not be held accountable for weather-related difficulties.

School staff and Central Office staff will work remotely on Thursday. Operations are scheduled resume as usual on Friday, March 19, 2021.

Superintendent Dr. Terry Oatts said in a statement, "I’ve continued to closely monitor the weather conditions. Based upon the weather conditions projected for overnight and into the early morning hours of Thursday, I am directing that all central office and school-based operations as well as teaching and learning (i.e. teachers and students) transition to remote/virtual for Thursday, March 18, 2021 out of an abundance of caution during which time our central office personnel and school administrative personnel will work from home while our teachers and students will engage in remote/virtual learning from home. While we will continue to carefully monitor weather conditions, we will plan to resume our work schedule on Friday, March 19, 2021. Whether with regard to public health or weather conditions, the safety and well-being of our staff and students are our top priorities.

Again, all students and staff will be virtual for tomorrow, Thursday, March 18, 2021.
