Strategic Planning Survey
The Red Clay Consolidated School District (RCCSD) is developing a new strategic plan, and we are seeking the input of our students, parents, and staff. We want your feedback on the district’s current performance in several areas and want to know where you think the district should prioritize resources moving forward. Your responses will help us better understand the needs of our community, so we can best serve you. Please take time to complete the
Strategic Plan Community Survey, as it remains open through December 9, 2022.
Mote Homework Philosophy
Mote staff through the building leadership team creating a Mote specific Homework Philosophy that will both encourage parental support of student learning and provide time for students to practice what they are learning while acknowledging the varying supports available at home and the busy schedules that our families have in the evenings.

Dismissal
Dismissal is a busy time for staff and students. Our only priority is making sure students make it home safely. Here is how you can help:
- All changes to your child's dismissal should be communicated in writing. Phone calls are only for last minute emergency changes and should be made by 3:15 pm.
- When possible, allow for your child to enter and exit on the rear passenger side. If not possible, your child is asked to cross in front of your car, not the rear.
- Parents should remain in their car during car line. Mote staff is not permitted to buckle your child in. If your child needs assistance, move to the past the crosswalk in car line and you may get out at that point to buckle in your child.
- Dismissal is not a time for parent conferences with staff. We are happy to work with you on a method of weekly or daily communication.
Thank you for helping us to keep dismissal running smoothly.
