Rocky Mountain School

NO pre-K through 2nd grade students have come into contact with the staff member that has tested positive. Students in these grades will NOT need to quarantine unless they have an older sibling in grades 3-8.

RMS Parents, This is an update concerning notice of a staff member who has tested positive for COVID-19. This staff member is in contact with all 3rd-8th grade students. Therefore, all 3rd-8th grade students will need to quarantine at home for 14 days ending September 24th. It is the recommendation of the health department that siblings to these students quarantine as well. As always the health and safety of our students and staff, and families are our number one priority. For this reason, as an added layer of precaution, we will be cancelling school tomorrow, September 11th. On Monday September 14th, our entire school will transition to distance learning for two weeks. Additional information will be given later concerning distributing technology devices and meals. If your child begins to exhibit symptoms of COVID-19, please contact you medical provider for testing. If your child does not exhibit symptoms, there is no need for testing, just quarantine. As always, our school appreciates our Rocky Mountain parents and community's support. We will continue to face these challenging situations together. If you need to reach me, you can contact my cell at 918-797-0318.
