Unfortunately, COVID cases are continuing to spike across the nation. Due to growing concerns regarding COVID cases and upcoming Thanksgiving celebrations, RTS Jackson will conduct its last week of classes remotely (November 30 – December 4). Faculty members will host Zoom meetings for each class during this week. We apologize for this inconvenience, but we want to love and protect those in our community so that we can return the following week in-person for final exams.
