I hope that you had a wonderful Presidents Day—and enjoyed the long weekend.


This is the 5th week of the 3rd quarter and this week your child’s Mid-quarter Progress Report will be sent home in the Parent Envelope. Please look it over carefully and make sure that if your child is on level, he/she is on schedule to complete at least 3 grades in each subject for this quarter. If your child is behind and not on level, he/she should be on schedule to complete more than 4 Paces in any subject in which they are behind. (All grades after 1/20/23 are for this quarter). We want each child to achieve Privilege Status for the quarter. Please discuss with your child’s teacher any concerns or questions you might have.
​
Very soon, we will be opening pre-registration for all returning students. To guarantee your child will have a spot next year at RCA, you will need to respond quickly when re-enrollment opens. Watch for more information coming soon!


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. 


Solar Eclipse of April 8, 2024     A solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, masking the image of the Sun from the viewers on Earth. We wish for families to experience the Solar Eclipse together so RCA is giving students the day off. This day off is not on the school calendar.


FUNDRAISER UPDATES
THE FUNDRAISER IS (ALMOST) HERE: The BBQ Dinner and Auction is coming up NEXT Saturday—March 2!! Excitement is in the air as we are getting very close! It is IMPORTANT that we have your help and participation—so, PLEASE! PLEASE! Donate and solicit items for the auction, and keep selling those BBQ dinner tickets.


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 and get those orders ready in advance. Please call Mrs. Becky at 512-360-3109 or email [email protected]  to let us know the name, number of plates, and the approximate time of pick up.


Live Auction Items: We have some nice vacation, hunting, and sporting event packages for the auction, but we could use some items like furniture, BBQ pits, kitchenware, fire pits, home decor, and things of that nature. Please continue to reach out to family, friends, and businesses for donations for the Live Auction. If you have an item that needs to be picked up, please let us know so we can make arrangements to have it delivered to RCA.


Blessings,

Happy Monday! This is the 4th week of the 3rd quarter, and the last week before progress reports go home for Learning Centers 3 – 7.
Valentine’s Day    The class Valentine’s parties are Wednesday, at 2:00 pm. All students may wear jeans Wednesday, Feb. 14, with a Valentine’s t-shirt, or a red/pink shirt or polo.

THE BBQ FUNDRAISER IS JUST 3 WEEKS AWAY!

Here are a couple of fundraiser announcements:

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 once.

Live Auction Items Needed:  Parents, as mentioned a few weeks ago, we need each RCA family to donate an item(s) for the Live Auction. Please let your child’s teacher know what you will be donating so we can start working on the Auction Item List. 

Class Baskets:  The teachers would love to have all the items/money turned in for their class baskets by the middle of next week, so they can have them put together! Thank you so much to everyone who has already contributed.

Sponsors    We are still accepting sponsors for the fundraiser!
The link is here: SPONSOR NOW    If you have any trouble accessing the form, please contact Mrs. Becky.
