Attendance
RTMS is an in-person campus, and regular attendance is essential to student success. Assignments are not provided in advance for planned or extended absences. Once the student returns, the teacher, student, and parent can work together on a plan to address missed work and help the student get back on track. Thank you for partnering with us to support your child’s attendance and academic success.
