A Note from the Principal... |
|
The faculty, staff and administration of Rensselaer Central High School extend a warm welcome to all residents of the Rensselaer Central Schools Corporation community. We encourage you to stop in the office and visit our facility. We firmly believe that communication is the key to understanding.
The 2009-2010 school year will be exciting and challenging. We are instituting significant changes in our Special Education Department by implementing an Inclusion Model for all diploma track students. This year also marks the full implementation of End of Course Assessments for Algebra I, Biology, and English 10. These exams replace ISTEP+ for high school students to determine graduation eligibility.
In February, AdvancED (North Central Association) will conduct a Quality Assurance Review at RCHS in an effort to examine our programs and look for means to improve student achievement. Our goal is to provide each and every student the opportunity to receive a diploma and a sound educational foundation which will pave the way to a productive and meaningful future.
We at RCHS are looking forward to working very closely with parents to stress the importance of scoring well on the End of Course Assessments. By using Powerschool, our corporation-wide information system, parents can instantly receive information on grades, attendance, discipline and other important data. Together, we can make this the best year ever at RCHS.
GO BOMBERS!!!
