2012 Report to Parents

 

Health Room Policy Changes - Beginning in August 2010
Due to changes in South Carolina policies governing the administration of prescription medication, we will no longer have a 10 day grace period before written physician authorization is required for all prescription medications.  Parents are required to bring prescription medication to school and provide FORM MED-1 before any prescription medication may be left at the school.  If your child must self-administer medication at school FORM MED-2 is required before medication is brought to school.  A parent may provide written authorization for over-the-counter medication to be kept and administered in the health room using FORM MED-3.  The Anaphylaxis Medication Authorization form can be found here using FORM MED-6.

All Health Services procedures, guidelines and these forms are available at this LINK.

If a student qualifies for free or reduced lunch, an application must be submitted each school year.  Students who have previously qualified for free or reduced lunch must submit a new application for the new school year.  Students who received free and reduced lunch during the ’08-’09 school year will receive free or reduced lunch for the first 30 days of the ’09-’10 school year.  Applications will be sent home on the first day of school.  Please complete the application and return it to the student’s homeroom teacher.

Compass Learning - CLICK HERE
Through the School District of Greenville County, we have access to an on-line resource that can be accessed at home or at school. This resource, Compass Learning, provides activities and games to reinforce and provide practice in several content areas. We believe that parents will find this useful in learning more about the standards and curriculum that your children are studying. This would also be a great study tool for parents to use with their children at home to work on skills that may require additional time to practice and master.

To access Compass from home:
Type in the url: compass.greenville.k12.sc.us

For User name, type in the first initial of the child’s given name plus the first five letters of their last name, plus the last 4 digits of their student ID number – all together with no spaces – Ex. Dwhitt0145

For Password –    School code (must be typed in) – ChandlerMS

You will be able to search for activities by subject, such as “decimals” or “fractions”. We hope you will find this to be a helpful resource for your family.

Visit the school bookstore for your school supplies and check out the cool RCMS logo items!   We're open Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 7:45 a.m. to 8:10 a.m.   Click here for prices and the item list
