ICYMI (in case you missed it):
Principal Jones shared more information about the implementation of Yondr pouches for students for the 23-24 school year. Yondr pouches are soft pouches that hold cell phones and seal magnetically. Their intended purpose is to help our staff manage RISD’s student cellphone by limiting student cellphone usage during the school day. To read more, check out Mrs. Jones' message here!
Submit Absentee Notes Electronically
FOCUS is the safe and secure online portal available to RISD parents to access their student’s grades, schedule, attendance, assessment history and submit absentee note electronically. Handwritten notes will still be accepted at all campuses, as well.
Click here for a short tutorial on how to submit an attendance note via FOCUS.
All RISD parents can receive daily or weekly notifications from the FOCUS portal, which is also accessible via a secure mobile app.

See Something, Say Something
RISD High School Students and Parents,
This message is a reminder that the safety of our school, classmates, and employees is a responsibility shared by everyone. If you see or hear something that potentially threatens the safety of anyone at school or about a classmate who may be in crisis, please say something to teacher, administrator, parent, or trusted adult.
Sometimes a person would prefer to report something anonymously, and for those situations, our school provides a system called Anonymous Alerts. Readily available through the high school homepage, RISD’s Safety & Security website, and bookmarked on every student Chromebook, Anonymous Alerts allows a person to make an anonymous online report about any situation that potentially impacts the safety or well-being of our school, any student, or any employee. All Anonymous Alerts reports are investigated by RISD, and if necessary, by police.
Please remember, situations that are true emergencies should be reported to 911, or the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255.
Thank you for taking a moment to think about the safety of our school and to be prepared to say something if you see something.
