Beginning this school year, all eLearning assignments for primary school students will be available in the online format only.  Your child will be bringing home an information sheet with directions for logging on to Canvas, the platform where our eLearning assignments are saved.  All usernames and passwords needed for all assignments will be included on this information sheet.  

Since we are aware that poor weather often means poor Internet and Wi-Fi connections, we are also opening our school computer lab for the two (2) days following an eLearning day until 3:45 pm.  Students, whose parents have given them permission to stay and have transportation home, can stay at school to use our computers and Wi-Fi to complete their eLearning assignments.  

As in years past, attendance on eLearning days must be called in to the office or completed on the Google form at www.rensselaerschools.org by 9:00 am.  Any student not accounted for will be marked with an unexcused absence. 

Welcome to Rensselaer Central Primary School, home of the youngest students in the Rensselaer Central Schools Corporation.  Our school is a wonderful place to be!  RCPS offers a dynamic, nurturing and positive learning atmosphere where smiles are contagious. We love to recognize our students and encourage them as they go through their educational journey. 



The school’s motto is “Success Starts Here!”  As an educational team, we are dedicated to academic excellence and holding high expectations to ensure that all students will be successful learners.  Our academic instruction is based on meeting students where they are and moving each one forward.  Goal setting is also important in our building.  Teachers and students set goals to help monitor academic progress.  We encourage students to do their best and celebrate their growth.



Parents and volunteers are enthusiastically welcomed at RCPS.  We sincerely invite you to visit us and see our wonderful classrooms, happy students and exciting programs.  Talk to us about how to become an active participant in the learning experiences within our school.  Your ideas, suggestions and involvement in our school help make it a better place for our students.



We truly enjoy what we do and consider it a privilege to serve the students and families at RCPS.  Please contact us if you have any questions or concerns.
