Homecoming week is in full swing, and we love seeing the outfits that the students and teachers come up with. Today’s ‘Welcome to the Jungle’ theme was definitely a success!
Due to the widespread technology outage today, midterms will be sent home on Thursday of this week instead of tomorrow.
Phones and internet are currently down at DMS.
HS Homecoming is next week! Driver students may choose to dress up and cheer on the Falcons.
Midterms will be sent home with students on Wednesday, September 11. Watch for the grades and newsletter to come home that evening.
A great program for middle school families! Free to attend and free dinners!
Just a reminder that there is NO SCHOOL on Monday for Labor Day. Enjoy the long weekend and see you on Tuesday!
Volleyball is at home tonight and football kicks off at Northeastern.
We are loving our new PRIDE signs! The locker signs are a great reminder for students of what they chose to work on this school year! #RandolphCentralPRIDE
It’s a beautiful day for DMS fall sports!
We have had a few questions about the call this morning.
Randolph Central has a new All-Call provider. The same company manages our websites, apps, & all-call system. The voice messages we send to everyone from the system that come to your cellphone will say they are coming from Little Rock, Arkansas. Useful information!
Randolph Central will be on a two hour delay today, August 14, due to fog.
Very proud of the teacher externs who visited local businesses this summer to bring their experience to our students!
To kick off our new corporation PRIDE initiative, we have a first day filled with special activities. Students may choose to bring only part of their supplies on the first day as they only will need a pencil. Students should know they will follow a special schedule for this first day that we will explain when they arrive.
A reminder from your registration packet that our Open House for 6th graders and new students is tomorrow from 5:30-6:30. We will begin the meetings in the Commons.
The Force is getting ready to go on at State Fair Band Day!
We are looking forward to seeing students soon! Remember that start times have changed at the MS/HS. Doors open at 8:00 AM. Students will be dismissed to classes at 8:15 and first period starts at 8:22.
The Force performing at The Drums of Winchester! Go Force!

Randolph Central Families,
Your 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students participated in the ILEARN assessments earlier this spring. Since ILEARN is a new test, the final results with proficiency levels and scale scores will not be available for schools until August 15. In accordance with Indiana Code 20-32-5.1-12(d), parents and schools have an opportunity to request a rescore for any open-ended item(s) to which students responded on the ILEARN assessment.
Important Information about the ILEARN Rescore Request Process:
• The ILEARN Rescore Request window will be open in mid-July (July 15–31). Requests submitted outside of this window will not be processed.
• Parents or guardians who wish to view students’ response images and scoring rubrics must visit the school in which their child is officially enrolled. There will not be a separate online portal for parents to access this information.
• Together, we will be able to view an image of your student’s response to each open-ended item, sample student responses for each score point, and the scoring rubric to help decide whether to request a rescore for that item.
• I will submit any rescore request(s) on your behalf in the online platform.
• It is extremely important to understand that requesting a rescore CAN result in your child’s score being lowered, meaning we could unintentionally move your child from a passing score to a failing score through this process.
• Once a rescore request is submitted, the request and/or score change cannot be reversed.
• A rescore request can only be requested one time for an item. Multiple requests to rescore the same item for a student are not permissible.
• All items, responses, and scoring rubrics are secure materials and must not be discussed, shared, distributed, or duplicated.
• Final results released on August 15 will reflect any properly submitted requested rescores.
Parents or guardians who choose to request a rescore for their child’s ILEARN assessment, must contact our school office to do so no later than July 31, 2019. We will be able to help you view your child’s response images and scoring rubrics and request a rescore for each item. You’re also welcome to contact me or Mrs. Jaelyn Winkle with any questions you have regarding requesting a rescore for an ILEARN assessment.
Sincerely,
Katie Lash, Principal
