Just a reminder...
Our Deerfield drive-up grocery give-away is starting today right after we finish dismissal, and continues until 4:30 or until the food runs out. Just drive up and load up with some free groceries from Second Harvest. If you are in our car-rider line, just pull around and get back in line for the food distribution.
Mark your calendars for November 9-22. You're invited to shop our Online Book Fair. This is a great way to purchase some new books and support our school at the same time! The Fair will open on Nov. 9 and end on Nov. 22. All purchases will benefit our school directly. This could be a good way to start your holiday gift shopping! Stay tuned for more details.

We want to plan ahead to make sure we can get information to you quickly when needed.

Good Evening Randolph Central Parents!
Your student's fees are now available to pay online. Please log into your PowerSchool account and click the blue eFunds link on the Balance page. You will have to create an account. You will need your student's 4 digit number which is located at the top of your dashboard in Powerschool. You may also access eFunds from the school website. Please remember to pay your chromebook insurance fees!
Thank you!
Reminder: If you still need to pay your child's $15 Chromebook insurance, you can send it to school with your child. Students in grades 1-5 will start bringing Chromebooks home this week depending on the grade level. Kindergarten students will take a few extra days to learn how to take care of their Chromebooks and use them at home. They will be bringing theirs home next week. Thank you for getting back into the routine of charging Chromebooks at home and returning the charged device back to school. Keep your charger at home. If you have any questions, you can call our office.
