Winter Caroling Concert Guidelines

Come enjoy the spirit of the season! Thomas Jefferson students will be rotating through three (3) locations to present their winter concert to all Thomas Jefferson families.
Where do I go to see the concert? 
We are asking families to bring their blankets and beach chairs to the assigned locations listed below.  (This is our attempt to manage crowd control.  All classes will sing in each location.) 
 Please see below for your assigned concert area.

Last names A-C Upper Playground area near front of school
Last names D-M         - Facing the amphitheater behind the MPR
Last names N-Z  - Facing room 21 on the lower grade playground

When the event is over please make your way to the designated classroom for student pick up and check out.  Students WILL not be excused from the performance area.

Your classroom teacher will be forwarding classroom specific communication prior to the event.  

We look forward to seeing you there!

GATE (Gifted and Talented) Testing

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.



There is a donation bucket in the office for new unwrapped toys for the annual CHiPs for Kids annual toy drive.  If you are interested in donating a toy to this amazing organization please drop it off in the office by Friday, December 15, 2017.
