Most students will have received their RCS Student ID Card and lanyard today Monday, January 29th. Remaining student IDs will be distributed in the coming days. As a reminder students will be utilizing these IDs for the purposes of food and transportation services. Please encourage accountability with your student each day to ensure they wear their lanyard.

Are you heading to Tiernan Center tonight to watch the RHS Girls Basketball game? If so, please know the Career Center parking lot is closed due to a water main break at the street corner. Therefore, all spectators need to park in the parking lot in front of the football field or off SW 1st Street near the softball field.

In an effort to maximize the safety and security of students throughout our corporation, we will temporarily delay the distribution of student identification cards. Such delay will provide additional time for parents/guardians to update their child’s PowerSchool account so as to ensure proper transportation servicing. It is imperative that our parents/guardians provide accurate information to school officials pertaining to telephone numbers, home addresses, email addresses, etc.

When RCS kindergarten-12th grade students return to school, they will receive student ID cards. These same ID cards will be used for ParentPatrol on our buses and they will also be utilized for the processing of meals in our cafeterias. While students and staff get adjusted to this new process, we understand that there will be delays for a short period through this transition. We ask for your grace and patience. It is always a little bumpy at the beginning of something new. Questions and concerns can be directed to RCS Student Transit at 765-973-3449.
