A few things to note for the new year: first, enrollment for all RCSD schools including Thomas Jefferson will open for the 2018-19 school year on January 11, 2018. Our school is really growing, so be sure to share with any families new to your neighborhood and parents for TK and Kindergarten aged children. Registration will be online again this year. Please watch the RCSD website for updates.
Warm regards,

The 2018-2019 school year GATE identification test will be administered at the District Office for students currently in 2nd – 7th grade. The students will take the Otis-Lennon School Ability Test, OLSAT, that tests abstract thinking and reasoning ability. Students must attend one of the testing dates on the OLSAT Parent Permission Form in order to complete the testing by the district. The Parent Permission Forms will be made available on November 13, 2017 on our district website @ www.rcsdk8.org under the “Parent” tab. All forms must be returned to the District Office by January 5, 2018 if you would like your student tested. There are no exceptions as materials are ordered based on the number of returned forms. Make sure you check the district website under the “Parents” tab for more information regarding GATE services and testing.
