Randolph Central Parents, I hope your family had a restful summer break. Much has happened over the summer in preparation for this school year including several facility projects. We have a full staff and are excited about seeing your child(ren) tomorrow (8/9). Every Wednesday, including the first day of school, is an early release day. Usually, this is for professional development time, but on the first day of school this time is used to help students learn the process of getting to the correct bus and it allows for more time as some of the bus routes have been reorganized. Please click the link below to see the Wednesday early release schedule as well as the other schedules.. https://www.rc.k12.in.us/o/randolph-central-school-corporation/page/dismissal-times Thank you!
