Dear RCSD Community,
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving Recess. The first week of December is behind us and we are now staring down our next break, Winter Recess, which is coming up in two short weeks. In my eight years here, this is only the second time we have had a two-week winter recess (2019-20 being the last). It will be a very busy few weeks leading into the break with many holiday concerts and special events across the schools and community.
Dear RCSD Community,
Well, I thought we wanted rain -- until rainwater caused a heat sensor in the high school cafeteria to short out resulting in evacuating both the middle and high school in the rain on Thursday morning. Turns out there can be too much of a good thing!
Dear RCSD Community,
Literacy Presentation at BOE Meeting
At Tuesday night’s board meeting, we heard a terrific update on literacy instruction at the elementary level. We learned about the grades K-2 UFLI phonics program and the grades 3-5 Spelling Connections program. We watched some videos of literacy instruction in action and heard from teachers and instructional coaches about the students’ experiences and their reflections on the programs (hint: they are going really well). To watch, click here and start watching at 13:38.
