RCS is asking parents and guardians to complete a survey to help us learn what you think about our schools and services. Your thoughts and opinions are very important. This survey is supported by North Carolina’s Department of Public Instruction and through this survey we will use your experiences and views to help us build on our strengths and work to make improvements. To access the survey, please use the following link: http://surveymonkey.com/r/ncfamilies2023

The survey will take about 15 minutes to complete. Please complete this survey by May 3.

We hope you enjoy the rest of your evening and we look forward to seeing you bright and early tomorrow morning.
