​Good evening RCA Family,

This is a very important week at RCA, and there is a great deal taking place. Please take a few moments to review the information below carefully.

RCA Fundraiser & BBQ – Mandatory for All Families
Parent involvement in the RCA Fundraiser and BBQ is essential. This event is mandatory for all families. Please arrive on time and report to the assigned time and location, ready to help.

If you are unsure of your assignment, please contact your child’s teacher as soon as possible.



Class Baskets
Thank you to those who have already contributed to your child’s class basket. We appreciate your generosity and promptness.

If you have not yet donated an item, please do so before Friday. There are still a few families who have not contacted the teacher regarding their contribution. Our goal is to have all baskets decorated and ready for presentation by Friday morning.


Live Auction Items
Thank you to everyone who has delivered Live Auction items. There is a great deal of work happening behind the scenes, and our staff and volunteers have been working diligently in preparation for Saturday. 


Every family is expected to solicit or donate one item for the Live Auction. When delivering your item(s), please include a description and the approximate value. If your item needs to be picked up, please notify us as soon as possible. 

It would help us out greatly if all live auction items are delivered to the school by 9:00 AM on Friday. If you have a live auction item, such as a cake, that needs to be delivered on Saturday, please let us know so that we can have it on the auction list on Friday! 



Thursday Workday
Tomorrow, all staff and students will be cleaning throughout the campus. Students should wear clothes that may get dirty. Please do not send your child to school in their RCA school T-shirt. Parent volunteers are welcome!

For additional information, please contact your child’s teacher.



Friday
There will be no school for students in LC1–LC6 on Friday. LC7 and our RCA Staff will be setting up and preparing for the fundraiser.


Saturday – Fundraiser Day

All students must wear jeans and this year’s RCA T-shirt. Everyone has an important role. Please ensure your child arrives on time and reports to their assigned station. When someone is absent from their assignment, it creates confusion and difficulties for others.

If you have any questions about your or your student's assignment on the day of the fundraiser, please stop at the front of the school and see Ms. Sue or Samantha Medina.


Progress Reports

Progress reports will be sent home tomorrow. Please review your child’s report carefully and contact the teacher with any questions or concerns.

Thank you for your cooperation and commitment to making this week a success.

Have a blessed evening!

I hope everyone is having a great week!This month is Early Registration for the 2026-2027 school year. We will start accepting new student registrations in March. Please be sure to register before the February 27 deadline.
​
Parents, thank you for referring RCA to your friends and family! We have received calls and have a few parent interviews scheduled already.

Student Tardies
School starts at 8:20 am. If your child is not at their class table by 8:20 am, they will be counted as tardy. Students who arrive after 8:20 am must report to the Fellowship Hall and not hang out in the restrooms or hallways during our morning exercises. The exterior doors automatically lock at 8:25 am. Students who show up after this time will need to be signed in by a parent or guardian. If you have any questions or concerns about this, please give me a call or stop by the office so we can discuss it. 

Students with more than five tardies will not be eligible for their quarterly field trip.

Valentine's Parties     
This Thursday, students in LC1-4 will have their Valentine's Day Party, and Friday, LC5-7 will have theirs; please read your classroom group messages to know what your child will be doing that day. 

FUNDRAISER UPDATES

Live Auction Items: Do you have an item to bring in? Please let us know! We have room to store large items now, or you can let us know when it will come in. Feel free to email [email protected] with the details, or you can call Ms. Sue and let her know. Please continue to reach out to family, friends and businesses for Live Auction donations and to be Sponsors--we still need Live Auction items AND Sponsors. Check the google doc if you are unsure where to go or who to ask. 

Silent Auction: Drop off any Silent or Kids auction items anytime between normal school hours--just bring them to Ms. Sue's office in the church building. We would love to have these before Wednesday, Feb. 25th (this makes Auction set up on Friday, Feb 27 much easier!)

Family Assignments on Auction Day: You should have received your family's assignment for the day of the auction (if you did not receive an email, let me know). The success of the auction is dependent on everyone being at their station or area on time. If you have any questions or concerns, stop by the office so we can discuss them.
BBQ Tickets: Money for BBQ tickets is due this Friday. Students are required to sell all of the tickets they received.If you have any concerns about turning in your money by the 13th, please come by the office so we can discuss.

Large Orders: We need to know if you, or anyone you have sold BBQ tickets to, will be coming in to get 10 or more plates at one time. We have a list of all large groups, so we can get those orders ready in advance. Please call the office at 512-360-3109 or email [email protected] to let us know the name, number of plates, and the approximate time of pick up.
