As announced this summer, Rutherford County Schools has launched two new technology tools that will simplify how parents receive information and how they interact with their teachers and coaches to learn about their student’s academics, school announcements, and extra-curricular activities.
The first one is ParentVue by Synergy, and this will be used to see your student’s academic information, including report cards, daily grades, missing assignments, class schedules, etc. It is similar to Skyward that we used last year, but it is much more mobile and user friendly. The companion is called StudentVue and contain similar information for students.
The second app, and perhaps the most important, is MyRCS. Search for “Rutherford County Schools” in your app store, and download it for free.
The MyRCS app will be used by parents to receive messages and interact with your school, teachers, coaches, or band directors depending on the activities students are involved in. This is the sole communication platform we are using for this type of communication this year. It replaces platforms such as ClassDojo, Remind, Band or any others as parents have asked for a one-stop source for school information.
Once downloaded, you can select which schools your children attend to receive a live feed of news items from those schools. By adjusting your preferences, written messages families receive are translated automatically into your preferred language. You can also interact directly teachers and coaches using a featured called “Rooms,” which is a secure two-way communication tool.
Rooms launches Monday and Parents will receive an email or text message inviting them to join their teacher’s or coach’s Room. If you don’t get the email or text, that’s ok. Beginning Monday evening you can visit the Rooms section of the app, or use the login button on your school’s website.
For your login, all you need to enter is the cell phone number you have on file with your school or your email address. You should then receive an access code, and you will be logged in.
For a quick overview of how the platform works, watch this short video introduction. If you have questions or need assistance, visit our Rooms Resources webpage. Links to download the apps are available here.
Rutherford County Schools is excited to offer these communication tools for parents and students. We want to ensure everyone stays informed about their students and schools. Thanks again for your patience and cooperation as we settle in to a new school year.

Good morning,
We are excited to share an upcoming Girls in Aviation Day event, hosted by Women in Aviation International. This free event will give students an opportunity to explore the exciting world of aviation through hands-on learning, inspiration, and exposure to different aviation careers.
Event Details:
📅 Date: September 26, 2026
⏰ Time: 10:00 AM–2:00 PM
📍 Location: Shelbyville Municipal Airport
🎟️ Cost: Free
Students will have the opportunity to enjoy aircraft displays, food trucks, and aviation-focused activities while connecting with others who share an interest in aviation.
We are especially hoping to have middle-school students participate, as this event is a great opportunity to introduce younger students to aviation and encourage them to consider the many educational and career possibilities within the field. However, high-school students are also welcome to attend, space permitting.
Please note that there are a limited number of seats available, so we encourage interested students to register as soon as possible.
For questions or additional information, please contact kabausman1@icloud.com.
We would love to have your students join us for a fun and inspiring day in aviation!
