  • Staff computers (desktops, laptops, Chromebooks). Staff must leave laptops overnight on the scheduled day

  • Televisions

  • iPads

  • Apple TVs

  • Computer labs

  • Elementary Chromebooks - please leave carts/charging stations unlocked

  • Middle School Chromebooks - will be imported into the inventory based on Librarian Media Specialist records in Destiny (during check-out).


Access is RCI’s top requirement. For a successful inventory, they must be able to enter every room in every building. We will need to leave our Laptops here the weekend of Sept 20th.


To help ensure efficiency, please:


  • Clearly label all personal items with a yellow sticky note marked “P.”

  • Make sure closets and containers storing furniture/equipment are accessible.

  • Unbox equipment before tagging.

  • Make equipment in administrative offices available.

  • Leave district-owned technology (including staff laptops) in classrooms overnight.

  • Note: Kitchen equipment (appliances, computers, tables) will be inventoried. Small wares and leased items will not.


Elementary Conference Week - Interpreters
  • Requests for Spanish and Russian conferences will be sent out in early September and your blocks of time will be sent to you in early October.
  • Time blocks will be for 30 minutes to allow “travel” from one conference to the next
  • Please confirm with families that they will need an interpreter before requesting one or counting them in your numbers. Sometimes families want to bring someone they know. Please don’t assume they need one because their child is an English learner.
  • Do not schedule other conferences until your blocks of time are given to you for Spanish and Russian.
  • Requesting other languages will follow the Request for Interpreter process.
  • Teachers need to submit their hard copy form of the request to their site clerical
  • Clerical will submit all requests on the Google form
  • As we get closer, specific dates will be given for timelines in order to make sure there is sufficient time to book interpreters.
Before School: Doors need to open promptly at 7:30. Please make sure you are at your door or pre-arrange coverage if you are running late.

After School Duties: If you have duty in the front pick-up area please could you help with bringing in the purple cones and sandwich board at 2:20pm.

If you are at another duty location and there are no kids to supervise then please assist other duty areas.

**Lunch time: Please walk you kids to their tables in the lunchroom. We can't even explain how much that has helped. Seeing the interaction/hand off to and with MDS helps the kids buy in to the adults are working together. 

Emergency Contact: If there is ever a reason that you need to get a hold of me please save my number. Feel free to text Richard Prestedge cell# 916-529-3255

**Please remember to check the LIVE Google Calendar as dates/times are subject to change.
