RSCO will send a notification to the primary email address and telephone number listed on your child’s RSCO application. Parents/guardians will be notified of either a Placement Offer or a Waitlist. The RSCO Placement Process ends on September 30, 2020.
1. Parents/guardians must respond to either a placement offer or a waitlist by the deadline listed in the RSCO email notification. Respond by selecting the link embedded in the email notification, or by visiting ChoiceEducation.org and selecting ”Respond to a RSCO Placement or Waitlist.” 2. Parents/guardians must log in to their RSCO account with the email and password used to create the application. 3. View placements and accept or decline by the deadline provided in your RSCO notification. Important notes: • Failure to accept or decline a placement offer by the deadline provided will result in the placement offer being removed. • Your child will only receive one placement offer.
