A Message from Our Superintendent

April 23, 2020

Dear RSPA Families

As you have probably learned, Governor Greg Abbott’s executive order issued on 4/17/2020, will keep classrooms closed to students throughout Texas for the remainder of the school year as part of a larger plan to protect public health. RSPA will continue to provide online learning for the rest of the 2019-2020 school year using the systems and structures currently in place. While we recognize this system is not perfect, we believe it allows us to successfully complete the year. District leadership will focus on planning and strategizing for the 2020-2021 school year with ensuring our students remain on level as our priority.

Here are some reminders and updates as we continue the school year:

- We understand some families are eager to retrieve items that were left in buildings before Spring Break. Please be assured that principals are developing plans for retrieving important items that belong to students and staff. These will be made available in a safe and orderly manner and following the state’s guidance for entering schools during closure.
- Students will not have to make up days while buildings are closed. Instruction is occurring online, and the state has moved away from a system based on minutes during this situation.
- Please continue to contact campus administrators and your child’s teacher, with any questions or concerns you may have. We are focused on supporting your child’s well- being, learning and success.
- The official last day of school for our scholars is, May 29,2020.

We want to thank you for your continued support and dedication to your student’s education.We know this adjustment has not been easy, but we are making it happen together. If you haveany questions or issues related to district issues technology please [email protected] for the fastest response. For classroom related concerns please email your student’s teacher directly. Lastly, stay connected to RSPA by visiting our district website’ COVID-19 Information page daily and following us on social media.
