Ravena-Coeymans-Selkirk Central School District That cute face could be in an RCS publication
At RCS, student safety is our
top priority, and we have an
obligation to protect our students’
identities and to keep information
confidential.
The Family Educational Rights
and Privacy Act (FERPA), a federal
law, allows schools to disclose
appropriately designated directory
information without written
parental consent unless the
parents have advised the school
district to the contrary.
RCS publishes student
directory information (name,
grade, awards, activities, photographs, etc.) on the district
website, in school publications or
in media releases to recognize student achievement or depict district
activities.
The primary venues for
releasing this type of information
include, but are not limited to:
• Yearbooks;
• Honor roll or other recognition
lists in newspapers or outside
publications;
• A playbill or program;
• Sports stories in newspapers including photos of athletes and/or
team statistics showing member’s
weight and height;
• A photo of your child in the
district newsletter depicting him
or her at work in the classroom or
during activities.
Parents who do not want their
child(ren)’s directory information
or picture released must send a
letter stating such to their child’s
school principal. This letter must

Ravena-Coeymans-Selkirk Central School District Information you should know...
Please take a moment to read
through this important information for parents, students and
community members.
Community use of facilities
Community use of district
buildings is encouraged by the
Board of Education. Fees are
charged to defray associated
expenses. Any organization using
school athletic facilities (including
the gyms, fields or pool) or engaging in fundraising activities in the
schools must purchase liability insurance naming the school district
as an additional insured. Interested groups should make arrangements by contacting the business
office at 756-5200 ext. 6000.
Discrimination laws
RCS complies with Title IX of
the Education Amendment of 1972
and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and does not
discriminate on the basis of age,
actual or perceived race, color,
weight, national origin, ethnic
group, religion, religious practice,
disability, sex, sexual orientation
or gender (including gender identity and expression) in admissions,
participation or employment.
Inquiries regarding this policy
may be directed to the Title IX
Coordinator/Section 504, Brian
Bailey, at 756-5200, ext. 6003.
Free or reduced-price school
meals
In accordance with the National School Lunch Act, the RCS
Central School District provides
free or reduced-price school lunches/breakfasts for students from
needy families. Application forms
are included in the Chalkboard
newsletter, which is mailed to all
parents in August. Forms are also
available in all school offices and
the district website (www.rcscsd.
org). Families must apply each
year even if they have participated
during the previous school year.
Enrollment and registration
All new students entering the RavenaCoeymans-Selkirk
Central School District must
register with the Registrar’s Office.
Please call the Registrar’s Office at
756-5200 ext. 3034 before visiting
to ensure someone is available to
assist you. Information on what
is required to register your child

on “Register Your Child.”) Note:
Please see the January calendar
for specific dates for kindergarten
registration.
Annual Professional
Performance Review (APPR)
All parents/guardians will have
the right to obtain the APPR quality ratings and composite effectiveness scores for their child’s current teacher(s) and principal(s)
once the scores are officially
available in accordance with
state law. All requests must be
submitted in writing on a schoolprovided form.
Pesticide notification
On occasion, pesticides and
fertilizers may be applied at our
schools. Schools are required to
maintain a list of staff and persons
in parental relation who wish to
receive 48-hour prior written
notification of pesticide
applications at relevant facilities.
Anyone wishing to receive 48hour prior written notification of
pesticide application should call
the Obi Ifedigbo at 756-5200, ext.
7001 and specify the building.
Student Codes of Conduct
Each school has a handbook
that includes a Code of Conduct
for students. The code sets forth
desired and prohibited student
behavior and the range of consequences that may result from
violations of the code. These codes
of conduct are re-evaluated and
updated annually. Each fall, copies of the Student Handbook and
Code of Conduct are given to all
secondary pupils and elementary
parents. Copies are also available
at the main office of each school
and under “Resources” on each
school’s homepage of the district
website (www.rcscsd.org).
Students with
Disabilities
All recommendations for
placement of students
with disabilities are
made to the Board
of Education by the
Committee on Special
Education.
Local programs and
local schools are used
whenever possible
to meet the child’s
educational needs.
For more information,
call the CSE/CPSE office
at 756-5200, ext. 3033.
Parents of a child with
disabilities who reside in
the district and who are

Medication Information
If your child must take

the medication.
A doctor’s order is required.
Also, the medication cannot
be transported on a bus.

nutritious and kid-appealing breakfast and lunch offerings daily.

pay for school meals, the mySchoolBucks system provides a convenient
and secure pre-payment system for
families.

into their child’s account, as well
as view balances and purchase
history.

Developing Tomorrow's Leaders Today
Ravena-Coeymans-Selkirk Central School District Music to our ears...
March is “Music in Our
Schools Month” (MIOSM) across
New York state. RCS is proud to
have a music program that offers
opportunities for music instruction
for all ability levels.
From our classroom music
curriculum to active participation in Band and Chorus - which
often begins in the fifth grade
and continues, for many, all the
way through senior year - to our
award-winning Band and Chorus
ensembles in the middle and high
schools, the RCS music program is
very active both in and out of the
community.
Students have the opportunity to enjoy music each year at
RCS with general music classes
at every grade level and two high
school electives, music theory and
music history.
Students participate in numerous concerts, All-County Festivals
and Solo and Ensemble Festivals
sponsored by the New York State
School Music Association (NYSSMA). They also have the opportunity to participate in our extra-curricular ensembles, including jazz
ensemble and select chorus.
STARS Program
Many of our students
perform with the Empire
State Youth
Orchestra and Empire
State Youth Orchestra
Melodies of Christmas Chorale,
Albany Pro
Musica
Apprenticeship
Program and
Capital Region
Wind
Ensemble.
The RCS School District
collaborates with STARS
INTERGEN INC., a not-forprofit that provides intergenerational programming
for residents in the towns of
Coeymans and Bethlehem.
STARS – Seniors Teaching
And Reaching out to
Students – enhances the
educational experience
for RCS students in grades
Pre-K through 12.
The unique partnership
draws upon the knowledge
and experience of retirees
aged 60 and older to enrich
the lives of RCS students
by promoting academic
success while fostering
inter-generational contact
that helps students and
seniors better understand
and appreciate each other.

Developing Tomorrow's Leaders Today
Ravena-Coeymans-Selkirk Central School District Preparing for college and careers at RCS
RCS students are being
challenged every day to become
the leaders of tomorrow.
From the RCS Scholars program
to Advanced Placement classes,
RCS offers challenging opportunities for students to perform at
their highest academic levels.
Universal Pre-K
RCS’s Universal Pre-K
program provides the district’s
youngest learners the opportunity
to get off to a good start by helping them build social and academic skills that prepare them for
a successful school career.
Reach/Enrichment Program
This program provides enrichment classes for highly skilled
learners in grades 3-5.
RCS Scholars
The RCS Scholars program is
for students who excel in the area
of verbal skills. Students in the
program often perform at least
two grade levels above their peers
in reading and written language.
Scholars meets once a week for
two and a half hours.
Challenge Math
The Challenge Math Program
is open to students in grades 3-5.
The Challenge Math Program is
for students identified to be of
high academic ability in the area
of mathematics. Activities in this
program are meant to enrich the
classroom experience by exposing
students to a more complex and
advanced curriculum. Challenge
Math groups meet for one pull-out
session weekly for one hour.
MS Accelerated Program
This program offers
seventh- and eighth-graders
the opportunity to take
advanced and high school
earth science and math
courses.
Advanced Placement
The AP program provides
students with an opportunity to
take college-level courses and,
with passage of the AP exams,
potentially earn college credits.
Even if credits are not available,
the courses provide students with
an advantage when applying to
colleges.
University in High School
The University in High School
Program provides high-performing students an opportunity to
take college-level courses during
the school day at RCS.
The courses—such as American History 101 and Biology
100 —are taught by RCS teachers
approved by the University at
Albany.
New Visions/BOCES
Through a partnership
with Capital
Region BOCES, the New Visions
Program provides juniors and seniors an opportunity for in-depth,
on-the-job training in medical,
legal and other professions.
Career & Tech/BOCES
A variety of career and
technical programs—ranging
from automotive to information
technology and construction to
health careers—are available to
students during their junior and
senior years. The programs have
led to scholarships and dozens of
awards for RCS students.
Tech Valley High
Through a partnership between Capital Region BOCES and
Questar III, RCS sends students to
the innovative Tech Valley High
School.
At Tech Valley, students learn
through project-based methods to
specialize in a mathematics, science and technology curriculum.

Developing Tomorrow's Leaders Today
Ravena-Coeymans-Selkirk Central School District RCS students show their character
Character education plays an
important role at RCS. Setting
high expectations for students
and rewarding positive behavior are just two of the ways we
encourage character growth.
Lessons often extend from the
classroom into the community,
where RCS students, faculty and
staff strive to increase awareness
of global and local issues by looking for ways to support neighbors
in need.
Here are a few ways that RCS
students are making a difference
in their community:
Elementary schools
A.W. Becker fourth- and fifthgrade Student Government officers and representatives packed
more than 150, two-pound bags
of granola for the Regional Food
Bank.
Pieter B. Coeymans fifth-grade
Student Council raised $1,000 for
the Regional Food Bank of NENY
with their “Change to Make a
Change” project.
Students from A.W. Becker
and Pieter B. Coeymans created
cards to thank veterans who were
taking an Honor Flight to
Washington, D.C.
Nearly 30 elementary and middle school students were honored
at the Sandra G. Morley Physical
Education Student Leadership
Awards for demonstrating responsible personal and social behavior,
sportsmanship and citizenship;
a desire to learn and improve;
exhibiting a physically active
lifestyle; and demonstrating
leadership and a positive
influence on peers.
Middle School
Twelve RCS Middle School students attended the Best Buddies
Friendship Ball, an all-inclusive
dance experience that celebrates
people of all different abilities.
RCS middle and high school
students participated in the
Best Buddies Friendship Walk
in Albany. The walk raised more
than $100,000 for Best Buddies
New York to help clubs across the
state.
Middle school students hosted
a Legacy Ball, dedicated to
grandparents and senior citizens
who have helped shape the RCS
community.
High School
Natural Helpers Club at
the high school raised nearly
$1,000 for the Make-A-Wish
Foundation and the club raised
over $500 for the Regional Food
Bank.
The boys varsity basketball
team volunteered with Equinox,
a nonprofit community organization in the Capital Region, to
prepare Thanksgiving meals and
purchased toys for the local Toys
for Tots drive.
Three RCS High School students were honored with Physical
Education Leadership Awards.
Two juniors were honored at
the Capital District YMCA’s 19th
annual Student and Educator
Breakfast for their hard work and
dedication in the classroom and
the community.
The Natural Helpers Club
and student volunteers hosted a
blood drive and collected 73 units
of blood with the potential to
save 219 lives.
23 middle school students were
inducted into the
National Junior Honor Society.
To be considered for the National
Junior Honor Society at RCS
Middle School students must have
a grade point average of 90 or
above each quarter with fewer
than six unexcused absences and
no disciplinary referrals. They
must also be ranked in the top 10
percent of the student body in all
aspects of character and leadership as determined by a survey
competed by their teachers.
18 high school students were
inducted into the National
Honor Society. Candidates must
first have a cumulative grade
point average of 90 percent or
higher and then be selected by
members of a Faculty Council
for meeting high standards of
scholarship, service, leadership
and character.
In the Class of 2016 there were
30 National Honor Society members and three National Technical Honor Society members.
Graduating seniors were
recognized at the annual Senior Awards Night, where 34
students were inducted into the
RCS Hall of Fame and 150 local
scholarships and awards totaling
$66,000 were given to nearly 60
RCS seniors.
