As announced this summer, Rutherford County Schools has launched two new technology tools that will simplify how parents receive information and how they interact with their teachers and coaches to learn about their student’s academics, school announcements, and extra-curricular activities.
The first one is ParentVue by Synergy, and this will be used to see your student’s academic information, including report cards, daily grades, missing assignments, class schedules, etc. It is similar to Skyward that we used last year, but it is much more mobile and user friendly. The companion is called StudentVue and contain similar information for students.
The second app, and perhaps the most important, is MyRCS. Search for “Rutherford County Schools” in your app store, and download it for free.
The MyRCS app will be used by parents to receive messages and interact with your school, teachers, coaches, or band directors depending on the activities students are involved in. This is the sole communication platform we are using for this type of communication this year. It replaces platforms such as ClassDojo, Remind, Band or any others as parents have asked for a one-stop source for school information.
Once downloaded, you can select which schools your children attend to receive a live feed of news items from those schools. By adjusting your preferences, written messages families receive are translated automatically into your preferred language. You can also get interact directly teachers and coaches using a featured called “Rooms,” which is a secure two-way communication tool.
Rooms launches Monday and Parents will receive an email or text message inviting them to join their teacher’s or coach’s Room. If you don’t get the email or text, that’s ok. Beginning Monday evening you can visit the Rooms section of the app, or use the login button on your school’s website.
For your login, all you need to enter is the cell phone number you have on file with your school or your email address. You should then receive an access code, and you will be logged in.
For a quick overview of how the platform works, watch this short video introduction. If you have questions or need assistance, visit our Rooms Resources webpage. Links to download the apps are available here.
Rutherford County Schools is excited to offer these communication tools for parents and students. We want to ensure everyone stays informed about their students and schools. Thanks again for your patience and cooperation as we settle in to a new school year.
SPS Families,
We’re excited to welcome our students back and get another school year started!
A few quick reminders to help mornings and afternoons run smoothly:
* Drop-off: 6:45–7:28 a.m.
* Instruction begins at 7:30 a.m.
* Arriving after 7:28? Please park and sign your child in at the front office.
*Pickup: 2:30–2:45 p.m.
* Need an early pickup? Please check your child out before 2:00 p.m.
The first week or two is always a little busier as everyone gets back into the routine, so we truly appreciate your patience.
Arrival starts their day, and dismissal brings it to a close. Thank you for helping us make both a positive experience from beginning to end.
See you tomorrow, bright and early!
SPS Families,
This is Dr. Perry, Principal of Smyrna Primary School.
We hope you’ve had a wonderful summer! Our staff is excited to welcome our Huskies back. We can’t wait to see everyone on Friday!
Registration Day is Friday, August 7, from 7:30–9:30 a.m.
Please enter through the gym doors. All visitors will pass through our security screening before entering the building.
If you have not previously registered your child, please bring two acceptable proofs of residency from different sources, your child’s birth certificate, and current immunization records. Acceptable proofs include a mortgage statement or lease, utility bill, bank statement, paycheck stub, Tennessee driver’s license or ID, vehicle registration, or property tax receipt. If you do not have the required documents, you will need to return with them.
If your child is a car rider or you need to update transportation, please stop at the Transportation Table to ensure us in getting your child home safely.
Then visit your child’s classroom to:
* Meet the teacher
* Drop off supplies
* Complete any remaining paperwork
Registration Day is a meet-and-greet, especially for families who missed our Parent Orientation and Back-to-School Bash. If you attended, you’ve already received classroom information and expectations.
Although buses will run Friday, we encourage students to attend with a parent or guardian. Students arriving by bus without a parent will spend most of the morning in a supervised area and briefly visit their classroom before dismissal.
Kindergarten families will receive a call from their child’s teacher with phase-in information. We look forward to seeing you at Kindergarten Orientation on Friday, August 14, from 5:30–6:30 p.m.
Thank you for trusting Smyrna Primary School with your child. We can’t wait to welcome our Huskies back. Have a wonderful evening, and we’ll see you Friday!
