Mr. Phillips Message
As we are getting going into our second quarter, I want to remind you that you should be receiving weekly emails from your student that give you a weekly progress update. If you are not receiving them, please talk with your student about why.
Additionally, I would like to ask if you can speak with your students about respecting school property. We have some students that are twisting faucets in the bathrooms. This causes the pipes to loosen and start to leak. Also, some of our young men enjoy jumping up and tapping the exit signs, which has resulted in some signs being damaged. Overall, we have great kids here that are doing amazing things, we just need to be a little bit more respectful to the school property so that no serious damage is done.
This year has been going great and I want to thank you again for all you do!

FREE ONLINE TUTORING FOR ALL RCS STUDENTS
PAPER- 24/7 Tutoring Services
PAPER is a secure, online tutoring service that provides students with unlimited, 24/7 academic support. Whether they’re stuck on homework, studying for a test, or need someone to read and make suggestions to their essays, there will always be experts available online to assist students in over 200 subjects and more than four languages.
PAPER tutors have been specially trained to conduct expert, academic support in a secure, chat-based platform. With a commitment to helping students learn, they’ll never give students answers, but rather interact with them in an encouraging tone to lead them forward.
This is a free service that we’re providing, so students are encouraged to use it as much as they need, whenever they need. Our teachers also have accounts and will be able to review all student activity to see what they’re working on and provide more targeted instruction as needed.
If you’d like to learn more about PAPER you can sign up for a PAPER hosted Parent Info Session, available in both English and Spanish. Or if you’d like to speak to a member of the PAPER team directly, you can reach them at parents@PAPER.co.
To see PAPER and the help it offers firsthand, we encourage you to login with your child(ren). Students will access PAPER on the student portal and use their CLEVER login to access PAPER.
We’re thrilled to offer our students the unlimited, 24/7 support that PAPER provides and we can’t wait to see what we’re able to accomplish together.
