August 25, 2022 RCSD Educator Blog
General Information Update
We want to ensure the RCSD Educator Blog provides you with important information and resources in a timely manner for your use. The Blog has typically gone out on Thursday afternoons. However, we would like to ensure that it is still the right time and day for you to receive these updates. Please take a moment to answer this quick question and choose the day(s) you prefer the Blog be updated to best benefit you. Thank you!
Safety Reminder
Please remember to keep doors locked at all times. If your door is propped open for fresh air, it should still be locked. In the event of an emergency, anyone should be able to quickly pull it shut (and it would be safely locked already) without scrambling for keys.
Below is a document that we shared with new teachers and new admin that has a quick guide to information coming from Ed Services. This document is always linked to one of the tabs in the blog.

If you would like to get started with Lexia before our first training, please use the document below to explore resources. Please go through Clever to access Lexia. There are two different apps in Clever. Students will use the Lexia Core5 app, and teachers will gather data through the myLexia app. If your site previously had Lexia, students may have access to two apps in Clever. Please make sure your students click on the Core5 app.

Technology Services Update
**This only applies to Staff with MacBooks.
Starting Monday, August 29, we will be deploying Teamviewer to all District-issued MacBooks. The Teamviewer remote desktop software allows IT to remotely assist with technical issues. This will greatly increase the speed of resolution of your issues as well as reduce interruptions in your class.

As a part of this installation, each staff member will need to check a box that allows Teamviewer to access your screen. The setting is called Screen Recording, but it does not actively record your screen. For added security, our version of Teamviewer also hides the Teamviewer password to stop anyone outside our IT department from accessing your device. If you ever see the password, never give it to anyone outside RCSD IT.
Upon installation, you may see a dialog box that reads Review System Access or see an icon with a yellow triangle in the status menu in the top left of your screen. Please follow the instructions located in the Zendesk article: Allow Teamviewer on your MacBook.
