SECTION 21F - ONLINE LEARNING
Reeths-Puffer Schools supports online learning, and as a district, we pride ourselves on forward movement on innovative uses of technology to support learning. RPHS offers challenging and rigorous curriculum by highly qualified teachers; however, we also understand that not all students learn at the same rate or in the same way. If considering online learning, we encourage parents to carefully review all information to be sure a 100% online course is ideal for their child given the fact that they will be forfeiting face-to-face teacher classroom instruction and support.
