  Make it a "Bones" Day! With the end of the Trimester upon us, we want to take a moment to thank every person in the District for their continued hard work! This is the long part of the year with few breaks, much work to be done, and sometimes you just want to make it a "no bones" day. But we encourage you to forge ahead and make it a great "bones" day! You are amazing, and we thank you for all you do for RCSD and our students each and every day.

  Ed Services Update Report Card Information A reminder all Report Card information can be found in the  September 30, 2021 RCSD Educator Blog . We know this is a lot of information but we are reposting a reminder where to look.  Two areas we want to highlight for elementary teachers: Report Card Rubric Guide  - Here is the guide showing how to assign rubrics in Otus. This guide shows you how to enter comments for the report card, and how to assign the report card rubrics and grade the rubrics. When assigning the rubric please put 10/29/21 as the due date. Participation Scores  for science and social studies are now comments, not rubrics. You do not need to enter the comment 3 times just 1 time. You can add it in your "homeroom" class or under where you put comments for ABC Standard comments. Do not put the comment in Science and Social Studies just put the comment once. Please add one of the following comments: Your child participated in Science and Social Studies.
