The recent Oct. 8 COVID-19 update and plan sent out by the D214 Superintendent has begun to resume in-person school with the mandate of masks, frequent cleaning, use of sanitizing equipment and proper social distancing techniques that allowed a third of the student body at RMHS to return to school each day. This is Stage 3 of the D214 plan on sending students back to school and went into effect on Oct. 15. This Stage can only continue in action if the average number of cases per 100,000 people in the D214 communities stays below 70 positive tests for ten consecutive days.
