RSI PTO provides family a weekly update of happenings.

This spring we will be putting a spotlight on our 22-23 RSI Interns. Our goal is to feature each of our ten interns weekly for the RSI school community. We want our school community to get to know these amazing young people more personally.

MCA test dates are fast approaching. These tests will be to asses student's skills in Reading, Math and Science. These assessments are completed in English. All Grade 3, 4 and 5 students will take the Reading and Math portion, but only 5th grade will take the Science portion.

This important programming provides young learners an opportunity to engage in hands-on activities and build skills to prepare for kindergarten. Part-time and full-time options are available.

The Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) provides eligible households a discount of up to $30 per month for internet services. Families are eligible to participate in ACP if a student in the household receives free or reduced-price school meals.
