I hope that you had a
good Thanksgiving weekend!
Emergency School
Closings
When inclement weather
makes it necessary to cancel school, announcements are made over the following
radio and television stations: WOOD AM 1300, and TV Channels 8 and 13. It will
also be posted on the front page of the website www.grcs.org and also on our facebook page. When RPS is
closed or delayed, so is RCS.
A 2 hour delay means: no
before school care, preschool or Kids Club. If the delay occurs on a M/W/F,
there is no morning kindergarten session and kindergarten will begin at 11:45
a.m. for those students who attend the afternoon session. If the delay occurs
on a T/Th, the morning kindergarten session is not held.

Yearbook Cover Contest
Congratulations to the
two RCS students whose covers were chosen for the 2014-2015 Yearbook covers:
Elizabeth Santiago (6th grade) will have her artwork featured on the front
cover and Luke Foll (5th grade) will have his artwork on the back cover.
Congratulations to both Elizabeth and Luke! Thanks to all of the students who
submitted covers this year; there were many wonderful entries and it made it
very difficult to narrow it down to just two.
