Student ID Cards and Lanyards
Beginning Thursday, January 11th, all RCS students throughout the district will wear lanyards with their school identification cards attached during the day and while riding the buses. Some special education and alternative education students may have alternate plans for wearing the ID cards. These new systems also provide for quick and secure recognition of RCS students as ID cards have a photo of the student. RCS will be implementing ParentPatrol, a student tracking system that provides our families with real-time data on the location of their students as they travel to and from school on our RCS buses. This system utilizes student identification cards to identify students loading and unloading the bus. Parents are then able to follow their students on a phone app. The RCS Transportation Department can send direct messages through the app as well. These same cards will also be utilized for the processing of meals in our cafeterias. This should make breakfast and lunch lines run quicker with less risk of human error as students will swipe their ID and the food service software instantly identifies the student for meal register processing.

Excessive Tardies Detentions: Being on time to every class is important!
In an effort to encourage students to be on time to every class, we first warn students with excessive tardies and then if it continues, students are assigned a one hour after school detention.
By students getting to class on time, it decreases the class disruptions and the teacher having to stop instruction to let students enter. Being on time is also a life skill we want our students to learn.
