📅 RCS BenQ Training — Lower School Fall 2026
Lower School is receiving 15 new BenQ panels this summer (2026). LS teachers will receive hands-on training during Back-to-School Inservice, led by experienced Upper School classroom teachers who have been using the panels since 2024.
Action for LS Teachers before Inservice: Please complete at least the basics track on BenQ Academy so the in-person session can focus on hands-on practice rather than setup.
Questions? Contact smojica@redlandschristian.org or reach out to your department lead.
