Return to In-Person Instruction
As Rochester Community Schools begins to welcome students and staff back to the buildings, a hybrid structure will be utilized to decrease the density by approximately 50 percent in each school. Students will be divided into two cohort groups, A and B, with one cohort attending school in-person each day and the other cohort learning asynchronously at home. Synchronous remote learning will take place on Wednesdays for all students in both cohorts. A full day of in-person instruction will appear 45 minutes shorter so teachers have time to connect with the cohort learning at home. Information about cohort groups and transportation will be provided next week. We anticipate cohorts being grouped alphabetically.
- Oct. 19 All high school students attend by cohort.
- Oct.28 Classes 1-3 Asynchronous (Cohort A)
- On October 29 9th, 10th & 11th grades will be PSAT testing from 7:30am - 11:30am
- NO SCHOOL for 12th Graders
- NO SCHOOL for 12th Graders
- There will be no changes for those students enrolled in the RCS Virtual Campus.
- Early childhood special education sessions will be scheduled by the teacher.

Cohort groups were released this week. You can find your cohort group by logging into ParentVue, click on Student Info and scroll down. If you have any questions, please contact Rcsvuehelp@rochester.k12.mi.us |
