Rhithm App - Information from Counselors

Now that faculty & students have been trained on Rhithm, we hope everyone has a better understanding about the purpose, how to use it, how to monitor, and how it can benefit students as part of their daily morning routine.  So please see below:
  1. If you haven’t already, please begin using Rhithm again on Monday, Oct .24th   
  2. ALL students will be given the 2 question survey now – should only take a few minutes. 
  3. You can decide the best time for your class to log-in and “get into Rhithm,” but all Rhithm check-in’s should be done by 10am daily.   
  4. Please monitor your teacher dashboard each day to stay in the know about what your kids are submitting.
  5. You can set up your own risk alerts if you wish.
  6. If you have any questions, concerns about students, needs, etc. let us know!
