Hello, parents,
Lunch charge forms should be coming home today. As a friendly reminder, if your child has $60 or more dollars in charges, they will be given an alternate meal. Please make arrangements to pay charges. Additionally, if it would benefit your family to complete the nutrition form to see if you qualify for free or reduced lunch, please request one from your child's teacher. Thank you!
Girls on the Run is back! The season begins on Wednesday, September 9th. Check out the flyer to sign up!
Tonight is our parent interest meeting in the cafe at 6:30. Come learn about your child's interest in the Cub Scouts with David Phillips. Please park in the back and go through the back doors.
As announced this summer, Rutherford County Schools has launched two new technology tools that will simplify how parents receive information and how they interact with their teachers and coaches to learn about their studentās academics, school announcements, and extra-curricular activities.
The first one is ParentVue by Synergy, and this will be used to see your studentās academic information, including report cards, daily grades, missing assignments, class schedules, etc. It is similar to Skyward that we used last year, but it is much more mobile and user friendly. The companion is called StudentVue and contain similar information for students.
The second app, and perhaps the most important, is MyRCS. Search for āRutherford County Schoolsā in your app store, and download it for free.
The MyRCS app will be used by parents to receive messages and interact with your school, teachers, coaches, or band directors depending on the activities students are involved in. This is the sole communication platform we are using for this type of communication this year. It replaces platforms such as ClassDojo, Remind, Band or any others as parents have asked for a one-stop source for school information.
Once downloaded, you can select which schools your children attend to receive a live feed of news items from those schools. By adjusting your preferences, written messages families receive are translated automatically into your preferred language. You can also get interact directly teachers and coaches using a featured called āRooms,ā which is a secure two-way communication tool.
Rooms launches Monday and Parents will receive an email or text message inviting them to join their teacherās or coachās Room. If you donāt get the email or text, thatās ok. Beginning Monday evening you can visit the Rooms section of the app, or use the login button on your schoolās website.
For your login, all you need to enter is the cell phone number you have on file with your school or your email address. You should then receive an access code, and you will be logged in.
For a quick overview of how the platform works, watch this short video introduction. If you have questions or need assistance, visit our Rooms Resources webpage. Links to download the apps are available here.
Rutherford County Schools is excited to offer these communication tools for parents and students. We want to ensure everyone stays informed about their students and schools. Thanks again for your patience and cooperation as we settle in to a new school year.
Online Angel Tree applications open on Friday, August 14th. Please see the flyer for more information if you are interested!
