International Bike or Walk to School Day October 6th~

This Wednesday, October 6th we will be celebrating International Walk or Bike to School day.  We will have music playing in the quad and support staff will be handing out goodies to students before class starts.  We can't wait to see our students walking and biking to school together this coming Wednesday!

   GATE Testing for the District coming soon!~

Gifted and Talented Education (GATE) identification testing for the 2022-2023 school year will be taking place in January 2022.  The GATE identification test will be administered at your student’s school site and is available for students currently in 3rd – 7th grade. Students who sign up to take the GATE identification test will take the Otis-Lennon School Ability Test (OLSAT),which tests abstract thinking and reasoning ability.  

If you are interested in having your student take the OLSAT for GATE identification, please complete this GATE Parent Permission Form no later than October 29, 2021. 

Permission forms will not be accepted after October 29th, as materials and scheduling are based on the number of students who participate in testing. Please check the RCSD website for more information regarding GATE services and testing.  This information can be found by visiting rcsdk8.org → Main Menu → Programs → Gifted and Talented Education.

If you complete the form that is linked above, then you will be notified of your student’s scheduled testing date and time on or before December 10, 2021. 

Please contact Kristen Desimone at kdesimone@rcsdk8.org with any questions regarding GATE testing.
