RCPS opens survey for second semester learning options

Rockdale County Public Schools (RCPS) has opened a survey required for parents and guardians to choose either a Hybrid or Virtual Learning Option for the second semester of 2020-2021.

RCPS is tentatively planning to resume in-person instruction on a hybrid schedule for second semester beginning Jan. 19, 2021, and will continue to offer a virtual-only option. That survey is available in the Infinite Campus Parent Portal Oct. 26 through Nov. 13, 5 p.m.

For information about the Infinite Campus Parent Portal, parents should visit www.rockdaleschools.org/infinitecampus or contact their school’s Digital Learning Specialist.

A hybrid schedule means that not all students will be attending school on the same day. Under the hybrid schedule, there will be two days of in-person instruction at school and three days of virtual learning at home. For information on protocols for returning to campus, please see our Return to Campus Guidebook for Families at www.rockdaleschools.org/reopening. RCPS will continue to offer a virtual-only option for second semester for those parents who wish to choose such an option.

All students will continue to have access to meals, regardless of the Learning Option.

The results of this required survey will enable the district and schools to better plan for the second semester. RCPS reserves the right to adjust plans based upon local public health conditions, which school officials continue to monitor closely.

To fill out the survey, parents are asked to log in to their Infinite Campus Parent Portal, go to “More” and then click on “RCPS Learner Options Selection.” Parents and guardians must complete one survey for each child by Nov. 13, 2020. For those who do not select an option, a hybrid schedule will be assigned.

For questions about the Infinite Campus Parent Portal, parents should contact their child’s school’s Digital Learning Specialist.

Elementary School Students

Parents and guardians of elementary school students will have the choice of a Hybrid or Virtual Learning Option. Parents and guardians will be able to choose a different Learning Option selection for the fourth quarter.

Middle and High School Students

Parents and guardians of middle school and high school students can choose between Hybrid, School-Based Virtual, or Rockdale Virtual Campus. The Learning Option selected will remain in effect for the entire second semester for middle and high school students.
