We have completed our second week of the second trimester and no matter what program you chose, it has been nice to get into our new routines. THANK YOU all so much for making this transition such a success.
We had a wonderful pajama day today and it was great to see the TJ spirit shine bright in both the Champions Academy and on campus.
As you are aware the COVID cases are on the up and we all must do your part to keep our schools open. Our students have done an EXCEPTIONAL job of following the new procedures on campus! They are true STARS at wearing their masks and respecting the space of others. Friendly reminder please DO NOT send your child to school they are not feeling well. The RCSD Weekly communication can be found here:

We hope you have a wonderful weekend!

CHROMEBOOK Return
If you have a district Chromebook and charger checked out to your child, please return it to school in your child's backpack as soon as possible. Thank you.
The Free and Reduced Meal program typically provides assistance to those who qualify, and even though meals are free for all students for this school year, we are asking you to please take a moment and fill out a Free and Reduced Meal application online at ezmealapp.com. The application is due by December 15, 2020.
The number of students that qualify for the Free and Reduced Meal program impacts many services and programs that RCSD offers families.
Our students and schools are at risk of losing 23% of the supplemental grant funding that supports those programs due to the lack of applications submitted to date.
The supplemental grant supports:
- Mental & Health Services - help fund school counselors and health aides.
- Class size reduction - help fund smaller class sizes in Transitional Kindergarten and 4-5 grades.
- Foster youth and homeless services - help fund resources for both foster youth students and students experiencing homelessness.
- Music & Elementary PE - funds a portion of the teachers’ salaries for these programs.
- AVID and IB programs - help to fund school sites that have AVID and IB programs.
- Technology - help to ensure students and staff have internet connectivity.
- Intervention Services - help fund staffing for intervention teachers and other intervention support providers.
- World Language Program - help fund world language teachers at all four of our middle schools.
If you have any questions, please contact your school site or you can visit our Nutrition Services website at rcsdk8.org/nutrition-services for assistance.
