Information Technology

Our new computer lab, serving students in Beginners through grade 8, is located at the heart of our newly-constructed academic center, Riker Hall.  Our school uses technology just as it is applied in commerce and higher education – not as an end in itself, but as a means to an end.  RCDS students learn to use computers as research and organizational tools to communicate, solve problems, and manage information and we are committed to providing our graduates with the skills they will need when they enter high school.  We are a multi-platform school, providing 200 Mac’s and PC’s in the classrooms and media center for student and faculty use. 

In our effort to “go green,” we have moved all school communication on line.  A powerful new website, complete with personalized calendaring and an E-Notify system, keeps families, teachers, and staff up to date on school news.  Email has become the communication method of choice between school and home and all teachers have their own sites where they can post homework, photographs, schedules, and announcements.
