Hello RCA Parents, 

Tomorrow, March 31, is Spring Picture Day. Students can dress in uniform, or parents can choose a Spring outfit (school appropriate) for their pictures. We will also be taking "sibling" pictures--These will be in the yearbook and parents will receive a proof. If your student is scheduled to leave early tomorrow, please let me or their teacher know and we will do our best to make sure their picture is taken before they leave. 

The online order link is below (please note, this link is for the individual spring photo. We will send out the sibling photo link when it is available). You may pre-order, or wait until you receive a proof to order.

If you have any questions, please let me know. ​

Good afternoon, RCA Family!
​
We are now in the 8th week of the 3rd quarter. Students are doing a great job staying on task. If your child comes home with homework, please ensure it is completed and that the homework slip is signed and returned to the teacher. Teachers are adjusting goals to help students reach a good stopping point before Spring Break.

Noon Early Release
This Friday is an early release. Please arrange to have your child picked up from school at noon. If your child will be picked up by someone not on the approved pick-up list, please let the teacher know with a note signed by you. There will be no after-school care on this day.

Jeans for a Week!
At the fundraiser, the LC 7 class won the silent auction bid for “Jeans for a Week!” After we return from Spring Break, all students in LC 7 will be allowed to wear jeans. Mrs. Rhonda will send more information about this to your classroom group chat.

Open Enrollment
We have officially started accepting new student enrollments for the 2026–2027 school year. If you know anyone interested in enrolling at RCA, please have them call the office or send us an email. Space is limited. If you refer a student and they remain enrolled through the first quarter, we will credit your tuition account $100 for each student you refer!

Pizza Party!
Tomorrow we will have our pizza party in celebration of the students’ hard work for the RCA fundraiser. Students can still pack their snacks for break. Please pack your child a drink for lunch.
Have a great rest of your week!

Happy Thursday!
I hope everyone is having a great week. We are now in Week 7 of the 3rd Quarter, and you should have received your child’s progress report by now. If you have any questions regarding your child’s progress, please contact your child’s teacher. Also, please remember to return the blue parent folder to the teacher.

Earlier today, while some students were outside during playtime, a neighbor in the area was discharging a firearm. Our staff immediately assessed the situation and confirmed that the individual was at a safe distance and not shooting toward the school, and that everyone on campus was safe. Some students were understandably alarmed while outside. The activity lasted for approximately 10 minutes and then stopped. Our staff remained attentive throughout the situation to ensure student safety. This type of occurrence is very rare, but we wanted to make you aware of what took place. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or concerns. 


Spring Photos
On Tuesday, March 31, students will have individual spring photos taken. Students do not need to wear their normal Friday jeans and school shirt. Instead, they may wear a spring outfit of the parents’ choice.


Noon Early Release
On Friday, March 13, we will have Noon Early Release. Please make arrangements to have your child picked up at 12:00 PM. There will be no after-school care on this day.


Spring Break
Spring Break is right around the corner! RCA Spring Break holidays will be March 16–20. Over the next couple of weeks, teachers will be adjusting daily goals to help students reach a good stopping point before the break. If your child comes home with homework, please be sure it is completed before the following school day.


New Student Enrollment
Enrollment is now open for new students for the 2026–2027 school year. If you have family or friends who may be interested in enrolling, please share our contact information with them and ask them to let us know you referred them.


RCA Fundraiser
This year, the academy raised $37,775 at the BBQ Fundraiser and Auction!
Thank you to everyone who came out to support the RCA BBQ and Auction Fundraiser. Thanks to our incredible community, we served over 1,100 brisket and sausage BBQ plates in just 2.5 hours!


We give thanks to God for His blessings, provision, and for bringing our community together for such a special evening.


Thank you to our sponsors, donors, and everyone who worked behind the scenes to make this event possible. Your generosity, time, and dedication truly make a lasting difference for RCA and our students.
A special thank you to our staff, students, and volunteers. This success belongs to you!

Pizza Party!
On March 12, we will celebrate the students’ hard work and efforts toward the fundraiser with a pizza party. Students will not need to pack a lunch on this day, as pizza will be provided. They should only bring a snack for break time and their beverage of choice for lunch.

Beautification Day
On March 21 at 9:00 AM, church members from Rosanky Baptist Church will be hosting a Beautification Day. Lunch will be provided, and they are asking for a few volunteers who can help for a couple of hours. Projects will include:

• Trimming plants and trees

Have a wonderful evening!
