Thank you for your continued support of our school safety protocols. Here are a few reminders.
PowerSchool: Fill in PowerSchool screening by 7:30 am each day. This is required and greatly expedites our check in procedures in the morning.
Drop Off: Continue to drop off your student in the City College Parking Lot. We know it is more convenient to do so in front of school, but please do not.
Safety Protocols: Students need to wear a mask at all times. You can review a refresher on these protocols on our reopening page.
Our Seniors had an amazing Kairos, Sophomores are currently on retreat, and spots are still open for next week's Junior Retreat December 7-8 led by Mr. Christopher Fern, Ms. Colleen O’Rourke and Mrs. Raquel Oliva-Gomez. Even though these retreats are held virtually, they still are valuable opportunities for faith formation, reflection and building friendships! We encourage all students to take advantage this year. Spring retreat dates will be announced soon.
Mr. Fern invites you to learn more about this Junior Retreat in this video.
All are invited to the next MLC Thursday, December 10 at 4:00 pm. MLCs are a lot of fun and a nice way to connect with other students from all grade levels outside of class. Next week's theme will focus on your God-given gifts! View this video for more information. A link for students will be posted in Schoology.

CIF Announcement Regarding Start of Athletic Seasons
This week the CIF announced the postponement of Season I sports (Football, Girls Volleyball, and Cross Country) until at least January. We do not expect any guidance from the California Department of Public Heath about a return to full practice and competition until after the new year. Our athletes and coaches have been waiting patiently for seasons to start, and we commend them for their efforts in athletics workouts to date. More information can be found here.
From the Finance Office
Due to the current situation, our preference is for all payments, for tuition and other activities, to be received electronically or via a mailed check. Please contact Ms. Avril Lawson with questions, alawson@riordanhs.org.
