Ed Services Update

        Here are a few important notes for Trimester 3:
    • For All Teachers:
      • All Domains must have a score, no matter when they are taught in the year. The 3rd Trimester shows where a student ended the year in their understanding of standards within that domain.
      • Attendance records are for the entire year and will be through May 20. This will be noted on the report card. Attendance on the report card will be available after 12 pm on May 23 as we have to upload these records.
      • Optional Zoom will be held on May 16 from 3 pm -3:30 pm for anyone that needs help with their report cards. Here is the Zoom link.
      • Report Prep is May 23.

    • For Middle School Only:
      • Your site admin will give you the date for your preview. Report cards are due by midnight on May 24 and will go home by email on May 26.
    • For Elementary Only:
      • When assigning the elementary grading rubrics and comments please put the date of 5/26/22. Teachers must use the Report Card rubrics to assign final grades. You can find the report card rubrics in your Assessment Shared With Me folder under Tri 3 Elementary Report Card.
      • Report card rubric guide
      • Your principal will give you your timeline for your preview and final report card dates.
      • TK Schedule- Brandon will email by Monday, May 2.
      • All 3 Trimester comments will show on the report card. Please see the example below (Blacked out part is just the teacher or student name). Trimester 3 is the last comment. This change was made due to feedback from teachers and the AFG Committee members. If you do not score all 3 Trimesters on the Rubric and have a score from a previous Trimester, it will pull the last score you gave that student.

Ed Tech Update

  • Chromebook Turn In
    Middle Schools will begin collecting student Chromebooks, Chromebook power supplies, hotspots, and hotspot power supplies, beginning the week of May 16. To ensure a successful check-in process, Chromebooks will be checked in based on grade level, and technology supports will be onsite to immediately inspect the device for damage.

    To expedite the return process, please request students' Chromebooks are fully charged and turned on at the time of check-in.

    Please feel free to reference the below Chromebook return timelines:
    • 8th Grade: May 18, 2022
    • 7th Grade: May 19, 2022
    • 6th Grade: May 20, 2022
Chromebooks and hotspots not returned within the timeframe provided will be disabled to prevent further use.
  • Secure Access with 2-Step Verification
    One of RCSD’s top priorities is to protect the data of our staff members, students, parents/guardians, and our vendors and community partners. To further secure our organization and our collective data, Technology Services has built a strategy to implement 2-Step Verification, also known as two-factor authentication (2FA) or multi-factor authentication (MFA).

    In compliance with the District’s cyber and ransomware insurance coverage, all RCSD employees will be required to enable 2-Step verification on or before May 27, 2022.

    Please click the following link: https://www.rcsdk8.org/secureaccess for additional information, as well as instructional videos to enable 2-Step Verification.
