RCS Middle School gets a visit from SPOT, the robot dog!
Last week the RCS Middle School got a visit from the robot dog, SPOT! Through the Code and Circuits program with Dr. Towle & MS Technology Teacher Mr. Bevington, students learned about coding, real-life applications of the robot, and got to play with several different robots themselves, including SPOT! Big thank you to Dr. Towle and Mr. Bevington for putting together this amazing hands-on learning opportunity!

We are excited to announce that we are in the planning stages for two international student trips during the 2022-23 school year: one to Costa Rica during the February Break and another one to Europe over the Spring Break (April).
Students learn so much by seeing the world, exploring new places, and experiencing new cultures - and weโre excited to bring that opportunity to our students. We will be hosting informational meetings about these extracurricular trips in the coming weeks to provide insight into these exciting trips. Please click the link below for more information.
