May is near! I believe this is the busiest month for our students and staff. Students are trying to complete all their required work and we have lots of end-of-year activities.

Speaking of activities, here is a round-up of everything coming up:

Thursday, May 2 @ 6:00 pm       Guitar Recital
Friday, May 3                               Field Day LC 1-4
Monday, May 6                            Field Day LC 6-7
Tuesday May 7                            Music Recital (Piano, Vocal, & Drums)
Friday, May 17 @ 10:00 am        RCA Awards Ceremony & Cookout
Saturday, May 18 @ 6:00 pm      RCA Graduation

The last day of school for all students is May 17. Please note that students in LC 5, 6, or 7 who still need to test in any Paces will be asked to come to school May 20-24. Your child’s teacher will let you know if your student needs to come to school any of these days.
 
Teacher Appreciation  
Next week is Teacher Appreciation Week. This is a time set aside to show love to our teachers, aides, and staff. We previously sent out contact info for Samantha Medina, to coordinate the teacher gift list for anyone wishing to contribute. We now have a signup here that Samantha put together, to make it easier to see what is available.

RCA AWARDS CEREMONY & COOKOUT
We are excited to share with you the accomplishments the students have made this year. We invite you to join us on May 17, at 10:00 am, for our 2023-2024 RCA Awards Ceremony. After the ceremony, we invite everyone to hang out for a fun afternoon outside. We will have several BIG water slides for the kids to enjoy and food will be provided for everyone. The calendar reads that school will release at noon, but we plan on being here till 3:00 pm with you and your kiddos. Parents, please plan on staying here while your kids are enjoying the afternoon. You are free to take your child home before 3:00 pm if you choose. The afternoon celebration will take place of our end-of-year field trip.

Have a great week!

This week is the 4th week of the 4th quarter. Next week students will receive their Progress Reports. A lot is happening over the next several weeks, please read about each of the events and reach out if you have any questions.

Iowa Testing
Iowa testing for students in LC 6 and 7 will start this week. Parents, we request that if possible, you do not schedule any appointments for your students on the day of testing. If you have one scheduled already, please let your child’s teacher know right away.

Teacher Appreciation Week
Teacher Appreciation week is May 6-10. One of our RCA parents, Samantha Medina, coordinated many food and treats for the RCA teachers and staff that week. So, instead of asking for help with this, below is a link to a Teacher's Favorites” list. IF you would like to bless a teacher, we hope this is helpful to get them something they love. But, nothing is required or expected! If you feel led to grab a teacher a gift, please sign-up through the link below or call or text Samantha, at 832-616-1009, to see what is still available.

Students are in full stride as they have already finished the first week of the 4th Quarter. Parents, we join you in the desire to see students finish the year well. Arriving at school on time is one way to help students have a productive day. Parents with student drivers, please ensure your child is making it to school before 8:20 AM. Also, let me encourage each of you to talk with your child about ending the school year well by staying focused on their daily work, striving to complete any homework assigned, and following school rules.
 
Solar Eclipse (School Closed)
On April 8, RCA will be closed so students can experience the solar eclipse with their families.   
 
Early Enrollment
As a reminder, re-enrollment (at the discounted rate of $100) ends this Friday, April 5. After April 5, we will open enrollment to new students. Please turn in your form with payment this week--if you did not receive the form last week in your parent envelope, please contact Mrs. Becky and we will get one to you. We are excited to be in the planning stages for the 2024-2025 school year!
