ROBERT F. KENNEDY COMMUNITY H.S.
Dear RFK Parents and Guardians,
I hope you are enjoying your summer and are staying safe. As we look to September, we are in the process of planning for the 2020-2021 school year. I recently wrote to you about your child's options for learning this fall.
If we return to school in September, you will have the option of sending your child to school following a hybrid model (some in school and some remote), or opting for full time remote learning from home.
If you choose the hybrid model (i.e. to send your child to school), he or she will be in school one to two times per week, and working remotely from home on the days he or she is not in school. There will be three groups of students (A,B,C), with one group attending on their scheduled day. Please see the chart below to see how the schedule will work. This schedule is subject to change based on unanticipated circumstances.
If you have not done so already, please fill out our brief survey telling us what method of instruction you prefer.
You should have also received and filled out the NYC DOE survey telling them if you prefer to have your child utilize remote learning this fall. This is the official survey and MUST be filled out in order for your choice to be recorded properly.
We will be holding a town hall meeting on Monday, August 10th at 6 pm to review these options and address any questions or concerns you may have.
