RCSD Is Going Back To Five Days A Week For In-Person Learning This Fall

Starting this Fall, the Rochester City School District will return to school five days a week for in-person learning following three feet of social distancing restrictions. These restrictions, issued last week by the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH), enable the District to move forward with plans that will allow more students to return in person next school year. If New York State removes all restrictions, students will attend school in person as they did before COVID closures.

All students in grades Pre-K – 12 will receive direct instruction from their teachers five days a week, and the District will offer a 100% remote learning option to accommodate families who do not feel comfortable sending their children back to school in person. If families want their children to take part in 100% remote learning starting in September, they must respond by Friday, May 7. By making this decision, parents are committing to have their children learn remotely for the first semester of school, which ends on Friday, January 28, 2022.
