As Russell County Schools plans for the return to school for the 2020-2021 school year, we need input from our parents/guardians to help in our decision making.

On Wednesday (June 24, 2020) the document:  "Guidance on Safety Expectations and Best Practices for Kentucky Schools (K-12) was released.  The guidance document can be downloaded here:  Guidance Document 
 

A PowerPoint Presentation that was used during the press conference can be found here:  PowerPoint Presentation

Thank You, Michael A. Ford, Superintendent

Russell County Schools will be holding NEW student registration for students K –12^th grade who are new to Russell County on July 6–July 10.  The registration will be held at the Auditorium/Natatorium Complex in Room 114 from 8 AM–4 PM on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and from 8 AM–6 PM on Tuesday and Thursday.  Please bring a copy of your child’s birth certificate, social security card, immunization certificate, and custody papers, if this applies to your situation. Turn at the stoplight in front of the middle school, and Room 114 is directly across from the guard shack on the end of the ANC. Please have one adult only come to register the child (unless childcare is an issue), and, as per CDC guidelines, a mask will be required. If you have additional questions, please call (270)343-3191.  Thank you for trusting Russell County Schools to assist you in educating your child!
