RCSD Community Update: 6/2/23
Dear RCSD Community, Welcome to June, a month-long frenetic mix of final exams and projects, end-of-year celebrations, and moving up ceremonies. As a reminder, the High School, Middle School, and Elementary School end-of-year calendars are all posted on the homepage of the District website at the bottom in the “District News” section to help you keep track of it all.

Dear RCSD Community, Please remember that there is no school next Friday, May 26, due to the snow/emergency giveback day. I will also not be sending a community update that Friday. I hope everyone enjoys the four-day-long Memorial Day weekend.

RCSD Community Update: 5/12/23
Dear RCSD Community, Busy season is officially here (accompanied this year by extreme pollen season). End-of-year choral, orchestra, and band concerts abound at every school, the High School will shortly finish administering 1,227 Advanced Placement exams, and our soon-to-be graduating seniors headed out today on their month-long internships. In recognition of the difficulties associated with tracking it all, we have once again created…

RCSD Community Update: 5/5/23
Dear RCSD Community, On Wednesday morning, I sent an email out to the community notifying them that all RCSD schools and offices will be closed on Friday, May 26, resulting in a four-day Memorial Day weekend. May 26 is an unused snow/emergency day that was built into the calendar and is not needed this year. I hope this makes for a nice break for all as we hurtle towards the end-of-year busy season in the school district. Those of you who have high school students taking AP exams might say we are already there!

RCSD Community Update: 4/28/23
Dear RCSD Community, Looking out the window, it’s hard to imagine that we had a high of 87 degrees two weeks ago today. April is really producing outlandish amounts of spring showers, wreaking havoc with sports games and practices, weekend plans, and gardening efforts, but hopefully, it is bringing on May flowers in bulk. It’s certainly bringing on my spring allergies!

RCSD Community Update: 4/21/23
Dear RCSD Community, Baseball executive Bill Veeck said, “The true harbinger of spring is not crocuses or swallows returning to Capistrano, but the sound of the bat on the ball.” The annual opening day parade for baseball and softball in Rye has become my personal spring harbinger. This Saturday, the RCSD Board of Education has its annual meeting with the City Council, after which we all march down Purchase Street along with what seems like every child under the age of 13 in Rye.

Dear RCSD Community, I hope you and yours had a wonderful spring recess. Happy Easter and Happy Passover to those who celebrated, and Happy Ramadan to those who are continuing to celebrate. I visited all our schools on Tuesday morning, and the majority of students looked rested and happy to be back. I feel certain that many of our parents were quite pleased to have their children back in school!

RCSD Community Update: 3/31/23
Dear RCSD Community, We have had a very busy month of March and now we will have the chance to exhale and take a deep breath. Next week is our spring break. Schools are closed all week, offices are open Monday-Wednesday 8:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m., and closed next Thursday and Friday. As a reminder, we also do not have school on Monday, April 10, as this is one of our unused snow/emergency days that we are giving back. I hope everyone has a wonderful, restorative week+ off.

RCSD Community Update: 3/24/23
Dear RCSD Community, I hope you had a nice Superintendent’s Conference Day! Students were off from school, but RCSD faculty and staff were hard at work. Today’s morning sessions were dedicated to critical thinking, the science of reading, social-emotional learning, and technology. I facilitated a session on the generative AI platform ChatGPT - a very hot topic in the education world these days. The afternoon provided time for department- or grade-level based work.

RCSD Community Update: 3/17/23
Dear RCSD Community, Happy St. Patrick’s Day! We successfully dodged a weather event on Tuesday even as communities further north had a snow day, and in many cases, a delay on Wednesday morning due to icy roads. I will confess that I did have a snow day call “in the can,” so to speak. Hopefully, it will stay there until next winter.

RCSD Community Update: 3/10/23
Dear RCSD Community We are continuing to create videos to illustrate the inner workings of the school district. With the spring sports season beginning at the high school on Monday (we have over 400 students cleared on FamilyID!) and at RMS beginning on March 27, I thought I would share with you our latest video on the subject of athletics.
