Dear Parents and Guardians,

A couple of quick important announcements for families.

Closed Campus Reminder
In order to maintain the safety of all students, we have a closed campus until 1:25 pm on a regular school day. So, even if a student does not have a Block 8 class, they need to stay on campus until 1:25 pm which means they will need to stay through lunch. Students are not allowed to leave otherwise unless they have a valid reason and stated permission from their parents.  

Please do not request to allow your student to leave before 1:25 pm unless it is absolutely necessary. When we have a large number of students leaving during lunch like today, it becomes extremely difficult to tell who should or shouldn't be on our campus and therefore puts everyone's safety in Jeopardy.

General Health Reminders

  • If students have symptoms, they must stay home until they have taken COVID tests and no longer have symptoms. 

  • Wearing a mask is absolutely essential when on campus. Please upgrade your mask to the highest quality, and have your student bring an extra to school.

Sincerely,

Riordan Administration

Please check the syllabus for your student's class to see what books he or she will be reading this semester. Thank you!
