All extracurricular activities will be suspended until students return.
Students at Rogers School are expected to return to in-person school on November 2, 2020. During the ten days of this remote learning and quarantine time period, any students or staff members who test positive are to notify the Rogers administration or school nurse. Free meals will be distributed to Rogers School students on Thursdays from 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m.
The ongoing safety concerns for our students and staff members require us to be flexible and diligent in making decisions such as this one to go with remote learning temporarily at any school."
