Invitation for Students to Exhibit at the 2026 California State Fair
RCSD students and staff are invited to submit to the 2026 California State Fair Student Showcase (ages 5 to 18).
The Student Showcase celebrates student creativity from across California and provides young artists the opportunity to have their artwork exhibited at the California State Fair, taking place July 17 to August 2, 2026. It’s a wonderful way for students to share their talent, build confidence, and share their work with thousands of visitors from across the state.

Second Step Posters- Admin
All staff have the option to have Second Step posters sent to them via a google form in the Educator Digest. Additionally, I am opening this Second Step Posters for Admin Form so you can have multiple posters sent to you for use on your camps if you'd like. You may want several copies of some materials for common areas at your school (ie: multipurpose room, the office, the library, etc.).
If you want Second Step posters, please fill out the form with however many of each poster you'd like and we will send them to you through district mail.
This form will be shut off on Friday April 10th and extra materials will be disposed of.
