Falcon remote learning will be asynchronous in the fall, meaning that each student must log in daily and complete daily activities to be counted present. This approach provides families with scheduling flexibility and the ability to customize their students’ learning.

Please visit the "2020-2021 School Year" on the RISD website for information on the upcoming year. If you have not already selected your child's learning option, please do so ASAP. For assistance, please email your child's name and student ID to falconstrong@royal-isd.net.
