RBBCSC Parent toParent NewsletterJuly 2017

Welcome Back!

With much excitement and enthusiasm, the school year for RBBCSC students will start on Thursday, August 3. Please see below for registration dates, supply lists, and important information. This newsletter will be published once a month and sent to all RBBCSC families and staff via email, and posted on Facebook on the district's page. Almost all information from the district is emailed, so it is important to make sure that all adults in the household (who require information) have a working email address that can be checked daily. Some choose to have a separate email address just for school notifications.

Registration Information

RETURNING students (and already registered K students): Online registration opens Wednesday, 7/19.


Please go to the Harmony link below, login, select your child's name, and scroll down to complete the necessary documents to finish registration. If Harmony says you need a code, you will need to contact the school. Please be patient with everyone, as there have been some glitches with Harmony.


NEW students to RBBCSC need to be registered in person at your child's school on either Tuesday, 7/25 or Wednesday 7/26 from 8:30 - 3:00. Please call the office of the school your child will attend if you have questions. All schools' contact information can be found at this link: RBBCSC HOME WEBSITE Students attending EJHS or EHS see below.

Late Start Wednesday

Wednesday mornings are used by RBBCSC staff to implement training and to hold curriculum discussions. Students are picked up/arrive exactly 30 minutes later than the regular schedule. Parents may utilize Latch-Key for free from 8:00 a.m. on Wednesdays who need it at the elementary schools.

2 Hour Delays/ School Closures

If a 2 hour delay or closure is deemed necessary, a roto-call system will call all numbers listed in Harmony with a pre-recorded message from Dr. Wilcox. Please listen to the whole message to know how to proceed. It is important that all family members are listed who want to receive this call. You can also check the district website and Facebook pages. A 2 hour delay overrides a Wednesday Late Start: meaning the day will start like any other day's schedule 2 hours later (NOT 2 1/2 hours later).

Late buses the first few days

Buses from the elementary buildings may take longer to leave the first few days to make sure all Kindergarten and new students are on the correct buses. It will also take bus drivers longer to navigate new routes. By the end of the second week, buses should be running on schedule. Please have patience with this and drop-off/pick-up lanes at the schools. Safety and security are priority.

School Lunch Information

Good NEWS: RBBCSC was approved for an exemption on the Paid Lunch Equity requirement, so therefore, they WILL NOT be raising student breakfast and lunch prices!


Elementary Schools: $1.10 Breakfast, $2.55 Lunch

Secondary Schools: $1.35 Breakfast, $2.70 Lunch

Reduced Meals: $.30 Breakfast, $.40 Lunch


Please complete a financial assistance form on Harmony during your registration process. Also, don’t forget to “Set it and Forget It” on www.myschoolbucks.com to refill your student’s lunch account. Our district is an online payment district, however, if is necessary to pay by check, please do so prior to school starting at the Nutrition Services Director’s office located at the RBBCSC Service Center. 812-876-7100
