Greetings, Panthers.  The RCMS staff is very excited about the start of this new school year.  We are looking forward to connecting with all of our students and families.  In the coming days and weeks we will be sharing information to help prepare for the successful launch of this school year.  Continue to stay posted to our News You Choose messages for more details. 


RCMS 101

Optional Middle School Transition Program for Rising 7th Grade Students

This year's RCMS 101 will be held in an online format the week of August 31.  There will be two sessions (each session will be two days).  This program is free to all rising 7th grade students.  Please look for additional information coming soon regarding specific times and how to register your child.


Student Laptop Distribution

Student laptop distribution will begin the week of August 17.  Please stay tuned to your emails and our website for additional information on how to sign up for a pick up time.  Please remember that all students and parents in attendance will be required to wear a mask and maintain appropriate social distance while at RCMS.


FCPS 24/7 Learning/Blackboard Accounts

On August 17th, the email address field for all student FCPS 24-7 Learning/Blackboard accounts will be automatically updated to each student’s individual @fcpsschools.net email address. This change is necessary to accurately provision student accounts and access to online textbooks and other digital resources. After August 17, neither students, their parents, nor staff will be able to change the student’s email address in FCPS 24-7. 

Daily Notification emails, which include all notifications of changes made in courses that day, will now be sent to the student’s @fcpsschools.net account. Some parents may have previously entered their own email addresses into their children’s FCPS 24-7 Learning/Blackboard profiles to receive Daily Notification emails. With this change, parents will no longer receive these emails to their parent email address, as the emails will now go to their student’s @fcpsschools.net account. So that teachers can share information with parents, please be sure to set up a FCPS 24-7 Parent SIS account to be able to log into Blackboard and receive course emails from your child's teachers.
