RASD Virtual 2020 Summer School

Dear Families,

RASD is excited to announce that we will be offering extended learning and enrichment opportunities to our students through Virtual Summer School June 15-July 16, Monday-Thursday. While the closure of all public school buildings in the state of Wisconsin remains in effect through June 30, Governor Evers adopted an emergency rule allowing schools to provide virtual instruction during summer and interim sessions to all students in grades K-12. The Ripon Area School District is once again proud to announce that the 2020 Summer School Program will again be through Sign-Up Genius.

While we would rather be meeting with your children in person this summer, we are pleased to be able to offer a safe and alternative option that will allow for the continuity of learning while also providing some enrichment experiences for your child through distance learning. Please consider enrolling your child in our Virtual Summer School Program. Your child will receive an invite from their summer school teachers the first week of June, inviting him/her to join their 2020 Virtual Summer School Google Classroom. Google Classroom will be the platform used for all communication and instruction related to summer school.

Below are the links to each schools registration on Sign-up Genius. Click on the school your child will be attending and simply select the class/es your child will be taking.

Collaborative Wellness Small Group

Ripon Area School District has partnered with Collaborative Wellness, a local professional counseling agency, to provide supportive opportunities for Ripon High School students to participate in a small group, Coping with COVID-Past, Present, and Future, facilitated by licensed counselors from Collaborative Wellness.

Small groups will be formed based on interest and will run once a week, on Tuesdays, for five weeks, beginning June 16th. Each week, participants will attend an (approximately) one-hour virtual session focused on the effects of COVID, our brain-body responses, how to take care of ourselves, and preparing for what may lie ahead. Participants will have an opportunity to engage as much or as little in group discussions as they feel comfortable with, and counselors will allow time to process feelings and reactions to what we are collectively experiencing.

Interested RHS students should complete the Small Group Invitation by Sunday, June 14th. More information will be provided upon completion.

Please note that counselors at Collaborative Wellness are mandatory reporters. If a participant were to share information that suggests they are being harmed, harming others, or harming/having thoughts of harming themselves, counselors are required to report this to the appropriate authority,

Contact Holly Schneider, School Counselor at schneiderh@ripon.k12.wi.us or (920) 748-4616 with questions or concerns.
