Google Reference District

Google has named Royse City ISD as an official Google for Education Reference District. According to Google, these reference districts are recognized by Google for their outstanding use of technology to drive positive learning outcomes. Fewer than 150 schools and districts are Google for Education Reference Districts/Schools nationwide.

A result of the 2012 Strategic Plan, RCISD embarked on a journey to authentically integrate technology into the educational process for students. The idea was to extend student learning anytime, anywhere. A 1:1 device initiative called Connected4Learning became the mission for both the curriculum and technology departments in the district. The G Suite for Education was implemented and put students and staff on the same platforms for email, document sharing and collaboration.

“This recognition as a Google for Education Reference District is an honor! Less than 5 years ago, our students didn’t even have district issued email addresses and now, the collaboration opportunities shared by our teachers and students is considered a model in education,” said Superintendent Kevin Worthy. “The vision of the strategic plan and school board along with the unrivaled innovation in our curriculum and technology departments helped us advance to where we are today with technology integration.”

Currently, all high school and middle school students are offered Chromebook laptops for home and school use. Teachers use Google Classroom to issue and collect assignments as well as provide supplemental information to their lessons. Students can access this information on virtually any device with wifi access.
