121 REACH CLUB IS BACK!

River Trail is excited to announce the return of 121 Reach Club. 121 Reach is a nonprofit organization that offers tutoring and mentoring to middle school students by high school students. 121 Reach is open to all 6^th, 7^th and 8^th grade students. There is no cost to join. This year, mentoring sessions will be held virtually and tutees can schedule meetings at any time after school. In order to participate, parents and students need to register using this link: https://tinyurl.com/121ReachMS  Once the registration link is filled out, students need to join the TEAMs page using the code x6s8toa. A tutor will reach out to the student to schedule the first session. A parent or guardian must be present throughout the meeting to maintain supervision. Please email Sarah Roberson at robersons1@fultonschools.org if you have any questions. 

New Sign OUT Procedure Face-to-Face for Parents/Guardians

When you have a scheduled appointment for your child, send an email to 701SignOut@fultonschools.org with the following information: 

1. the name of your child
2. the date, time and reason for pick up
3. the name of parent/guardian who will be picking up your child 

On the day you come to school to pick up your child, please buzz the front office. Inform the staff the reason you are at school. Please hold up driver’s license to the camera so that the staff can verify your identity. Once your identity is confirmed, staff will call into the classroom to have your child dismissed. Your child will meet you outside the front entrance. If you show up to the school wanting to pick up your child without sending an email to 701SignOut@fultonschools.org, you will be asked to send an email while standing outside the building. After the email is received and your identification verified, staff will call your child for dismissal.
