Welcome to October!

Is anyone else looking forward to some cooler weather?

We are now in the 5th week of the 1st quarter. Your child’s Progress Report will be sent home in the Parent Envelope (Learning Center 3 and up) next week. Please make sure you review your child’s progress thus far. 

Remember that to be eligible for the Honor Roll field trip at the end of the quarter, your student must be completing the required number of Paces per quarter (3 per subject if on-level, 4-6 per quarter if behind in any subject), have an average of 88 or above, have less than 5 tardies, and must have said their class scripture 7 out of the 9 weeks of the quarter. They must also not have repeated disciplinary issues.

CALENDAR CORRECTION
We try to schedule all early release days on the Friday before a holiday break. I apologize!!! I just noticed there is an error on the calendar. NOON EARLY RELEASE IS NEXT FRIDAY, NOT THIS FRIDAY. 

Picture Day
THIS WEDNESDAY is picture day. Please refer to the email sent out last week for more details and information. IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO HAVE EVERYONE HERE ON WEDNESDAY. There is a lot of work that goes into scheduling and preparing for the yearbook. It is a challenge to reschedule and retake class pictures so please have your child at school on Wednesday. If your child is sick we understand they can’t be at school, but for all others PLEASE be here for picture day.

Mark your calendars for our annual Christmas in October event on Wednesday, October 30th! From 6:30 pm – 8:00 pm. We will have food and Christmas-themed games. Christmas in October is our annual Toy Drive, to help needy families over the holidays. This year, instead of toys, we will be collecting Gift Cards. At Christmas in October, we will have a tree for you to hang your cards on. Please plan to be here for this event! 

Have a great day and a wonderful week,​

Is everyone enjoying the cooler weather? It’s finally feeling like Fall! I hope everyone had a good weekend and spent some time outside. And let’s not forget the solar eclipse, I had several teenagers tell me it looked like an Instagram filter outside. Ha.

We are only 3 weeks away from the end of the 1st quarter. If you are not sure if your child is on target with their academic projection, please set up a time to visit with your child’s teacher. Our expectation is for every student to meet their daily, weekly, and quarterly goals.

PSAT- For the students taking the PSAT this Wednesday, please make sure they get a good night’s rest and eat a healthy breakfast in the morning.

Christmas in October– This is a toy drive, and we will be having a BATTLE OF THE CLASSES- friendly competition- to see who can bring in the most toys. (All toys should be new).

The prize for the Upper Learning Centers is 2 days of no school uniform and the prize for the Lower Learning Centers is a popcorn and movie day.

WE CAN USE MORE VOLUNTEERS, PLEASE CONSIDER HELPING.

SPIRIT WEEK!- Next week is Spirit Week at RCA! This week is fun and exciting, building up to the Pep Rally and Homecoming game for the Tribe Warriors 6-man football team. RCA has several students who play for Tribe Athletics and we want to show them our support. The theme days for next week are as follows:

Monday- Favorite Vacation Day

ex. Tourist, Hawaiian, camping, skiing, etc.

Tuesday- Mismatch Day

Wednesday- All About Christmas

Thursday- Rep Your Team Day

*College or professional sports fan gear

​Two weeks ago Rosanky Community Center hosted a Fall Coloring Contest. RCA had
several students submit their coloring projects and last week the winners were

following students won prizes and gift cards.

Coloring Contest Winners:
Ella Kirks
Jackson Thomasson

Fire Prevention- This Thursday the Fire Department will be at RCA to demonstrate
and talk with the kids about fire prevention.

Christmas in October- We are asking everyone to prayerfully consider volunteering
for our Christmas in October Toy Drive. There are several ways you can help: managing a game booth, serving at concessions, baking items for the cake walk, decorating, and cleaning up. All the toys collected from Christmas in October will be
given away, with food for a Christmas meal, to families in need.

The students had a great time at the yearbook signing party that was hosted this past
Friday. Previous students showed up to sign books and hang out with our current
RCA students.

Have a great week. Enjoy the cool weather. Praise God for His blessings.

In His service,

JR Regalado
