Hello, New Families!
We’re thrilled to welcome your family to the Rumsey Community. 你的旅程从准备开学开始,完成必要的信息,这样你就可以在第一天开始新的一年. 我们的老师、顾问、教练、宿舍家长和管理人员都期待着你的到来. They are eager to help you ease into the school year and learn more about your academic, personal, and social goals. Let’s get started!
Step 1: Welcome to the Blue Dog Community
Start by signing into the Blue Dog Portal, your gateway to our community.
The Blue Dog Portal gives parents and students easy access to school resources and information, including grades, schedules, permission forms, calendars, etc. 每个家长/监护人和学生都有自己指定的登录名来访问门户网站. Most parents will have logged in during the admission process, and students will receive their login shortly before school begins. If you haven’t already registered, please follow the links on this page.
To initiate the process, parents receive an email from Rumsey Hall Blue Dog Portal with a Blackbaud ID invitation. 按照以下说明接受邀请并设置您的Blue Dog Portal帐户. For further information about Technology at Rumsey, read the Technology FAQ section.
Step 2: Prioritize Health and Safety
Complete essential health forms to ensure we can provide the best care for your child.
Rumsey Hall School uses a trusted company, August Schools Health Portal, to collect and maintain student medical information. 拉姆齐将于2024年初夏启动2024-2025年8月学校健康门户网站,当健康门户网站开放时,家庭将收到通知. All Requirements must be completed by August 1, 2024. 我们建议您在8月之前安排您孩子的身体检查,以满足要求的最后期限.
- Parents should log into the Blue Dog Portal with their own credentials. Then go to the Resource Board and click on the August Schools icon. 此操作将直接将家长同步到他们孩子的八月学校健康门户帐户, allowing the parent to review and complete health requirements.
- Once you have opened the August Schools Portal, 系统将启动电子邮件,提醒您完成Health Portal中的要求.
