  • Middle School Chromebook Collection

  • Secure Access with 2-Step Verification
    One of RCSD’s top priorities is to protect the data of our staff members, students, parents/guardians, and our vendors and community partners. To further secure our organization and our collective data, Technology Services has built a strategy to implement 2-Step Verification, also known as two-factor authentication (2FA) or multi-factor authentication (MFA).

    In compliance with the District’s cyber and ransomware insurance coverage, all RCSD employees will be required to enable 2-Step verification on or before May 27, 2022.

    Please click the following link: https://www.rcsdk8.org/secureaccess for additional information, as well as instructional videos to enable 2-Step Verification.
