Good Evening RCA Family!


We are now in the 8th week of the 3rd quarter. Students’ goals might be adjusted this week to help them find a good stopping point before leaving for Spring Break. If your child comes home with homework, please ensure it is completed and that the homework slip is signed and returned to the teacher.


This Friday is a Noon Early Release. Please arrange to have your child picked up from school at noon. If your child is being picked up by someone not on the pick-up list, please make sure you notify the teacher with a note signed by you. There will be no after-school care on this day.
At the fundraiser, the LC 7 class was the winner of “Jeans For A Week!”. When we return from Spring Break all students in LC 7 will be allowed to wear jeans. Mrs. Rhonda will send more information about this in your classroom group chat.
​

This school year's projected income from tuition accounts for approximately 70% of the cost of educating our students. To cover the remaining expenses, we rely on the generosity of our community supporters through contributions to our annual fundraiser. With the generous donation from TCS Mechanical, the RCA Staff and I are thrilled to share that RCA raised $97,672.15 after covering expenses. Thank you again to everyone who put in the effort to help make this year’s fundraiser a BIG success!


Have a blessed week,
JR Regalado

Praise the Lord for a successful fundraiser on Saturday! 
​THANK YOU to our wonderful parents, students, staff, school family, and church family for all your hard work. It was an amazing day, and none of it would have happened without the grace of our God. 
​
We are thankful for all the great businesses and individuals who donated items for the live auction, as well as for all the people who baked goods for the silent and live auctions. And thank you to all the great people who came out and supported RCA by investing their hard-earned money in our students' future. When we finalize the total amount raised we will share it with you.
Progress reports will be sent home this week. If you have any questions about your child’s grades, please contact their teacher.
Spring Break is March 17-21. We are still three weeks away, so let's not let the students fall into vacation mode too early. Students need to be at school on time and working hard in the classroom.


RCA School T-Shirts   It is around this time of year when students start growing out of their clothes. If you would like to order a RCA  school t-shirt please do so using the link below. THE DEADLINE TO ORDER IS THIS THURSDAY.

PIZZA PARTY!   Next Monday, RCA will provide pizza for all RCA students. We want to express our appreciation to them for all their hard work before, during, and after the fundraiser. Please send your child’s favorite drink with them to school this day, plus snacks for break time. If your child has dietary needs, please communicate this with their teacher.
Parents, thank you for your commitment to RCA. Let’s continue to work and go forward together. Please remember us in your prayers.


Have a blessed week,

Welcome to the 2nd week of the 3rd quarter. I pray everyone received a good word and had a great worship experience at church yesterday. We are excited to kick off the week with some wonderful weather!
​
Kinder Graduation   Mark your calendar for our Kinder Graduation Ceremony on Wednesday, February 5 at 6:00 pm. Come support these excited kids as they walk across the stage.

Dress Code   Around this time of year we start seeing growth spurts. Please ensure students wear school clothes that meet our Dress Code (found in the Student Handbook). Boys should wear solid-colored pants and shirts, tucked in, with a belt. Girls are to wear solid color or plaid skirts or dresses, to the knee (in the front and the back), with a solid polo. Polo dresses are permitted. Girls are recommended to wear shorts, solid-color tights, or solid-color leggings under skirts. If you have any questions about this, please reach out to me.   

100th Day of School   We are moving our 100th Day of School celebration to February 20th. We will send out more information as we get closer to the date. 

Fundraiser Donations   If any parents are available to act as chaperones and take students out to speak to businesses about donations for the fundraiser, please let us know! 

Fundraiser Donation Items   The collective effort of our staff, students, and parents determines the fundraiser's success. We need everyone to get involved. Parents, we are asking each family to contribute/secure at least one item to be entered in the Live Auction. 
Parents, thank you for getting out and asking businesses for donations and to be a sponsor. We are so excited to see the support for our fundraiser and the donations already coming in. Remember to check the Google Doc online to see which businesses we have already visited and also to update whom you have contacted. There are lots of businesses that have online forms you can fill out from the comfort of your home, and we’ve already received several donations this way. 
Have a great week!
 Blessings,
JR Regalado

December is here. I know the students are excited for Christmas and so am I! What a blessing that as we enter into the Christmas season, we know the true meaning of Christmas and have the freedom to celebrate it not only in our churches and homes but at our school.
If your student is behind in any subjects, he or she may have their goals increased and/or be required to do extra work so that they may catch up before the end of the quarter. At the start of the quarter, we let all students know this was a short quarter with the holiday breaks and they will need to be diligent in the classroom.

Winter Wreath Fundraiser     The totals are in! Our RCA students raised $1,976.50. A big “THANK YOU!” to everyone who participated and helped raise money for the classrooms.

Canned Food Drive   RCA Students collected over 1,300 items for our canned food drive. We are so thankful for everyone who contributed. Congratulations to LC 1& LC2!! They were the winners of our Collection Contest. LC1 & LC2 will get to wear jeans for the next 2 weeks, and they also won a pizza party!! Because all of our students went above and beyond, LC 3-7 will get to wear jeans for a week, starting next Monday.

Christmas Classroom Parties   Later this week, teachers will be sharing information about their classroom Christmas Party. Please be on the lookout for a message in your classroom group chat.

RCA/RBC Christmas Play   On December 15, at 10 am, our students will be putting on a Christmas play titled ‘Unto Us a Child Is Born…’. This is always a sweet time, and the kids always do a great job. We invite you and your family to be our guests.

Calendar Reminders:
December 6 - Scripture Memorization Due
December 9 - Mid-Quarter Progress Reports will be sent out this week
December 15 -  RCA/RBC Christmas program ‘Unto Us A Child Is Born’

Have a blessed week,

JR Regalado

I hope everyone is having a great week!
I apologize, but for some reason this email did not send on Monday. I am resending it in hopes that you receive it. If you have any questions, please let me know. 

Today is the first day of the 2nd quarter. This week report cards will be sent home. When you receive your child’s report card, please sign it and have them return it to their teacher. Your student should have at least 3 stars in every subject (if on-level) and if your child has any gap subjects, they should have 4-6 stars per subject.

Canned Food Drive     
The food drive kicks off on November 12. Each year we have a school-wide friendly competition to see which class can bring in the most canned/non-perishable food items. The winning class gets a pizza party, and they will get to wear jeans for ONE WHOLE WEEK! The canned food drive will run through November 22. 

Tuition
Parents, please make sure you are current on your tuition payments. If you have questions about your tuition balance, please let us know.

Thank you to everyone who participated so far in the Winter and Wreath fundraiser! LC 2 is the only class so far to have won a pizza party with the majority of the students participating in the fundraiser. THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE!

We will have Christmas-themed games with prizes, food and drinks, a hayride, a cake walk, and best of all you will have an opportunity to bless a family for the Christmas holiday. We need volunteers to help staff the games and hand out prizes. If you would like to be a volunteer at Christmas in October, please let your child’s teacher know, and we will find a place for you to serve.

Art Class Fundraiser
The art classes in LC’s 1-5 are participating in a fundraiser for RCA. They have each created a colorful art piece that has been mailed to a company called Original Works. The art will be scanned into a computer, and a magnet will be created. It will arrive on October 28th and be sent home for you to see. If you want to purchase it, you pay RCA and keep the magnet. There will also be a brochure with prices for additional items that the company can make with your child’s artwork. The school will make a percentage from each sold item. If you don’t want the magnet, you may simply return it to the school. You can check out the products ahead of time at originalworks.com           -Mrs. Michelle

Spirit Week
Spirit Week is next! Each day of the week we will have a theme for the students to show their spirit. The usual school uniform dress code is not enforced this week (jeans are allowed all week). Spirit Week is October 28-November 1. This week we will send out an email with all the theme days.

Fire Safety Prevention
This Thursday, our Local ESD will be at RCA to teach the kids about fire prevention. The team will speak to the kids and perform a live skit. In previous years, the students have been thrilled to get to know our local first responders and to watch their performance. 

May God bless you with a wonderful week!

I hope and pray everyone had a great Monday! 
This week your child’s Progress Report will be sent home. Please make sure you review your child’s progress thus far.

Our goal is to bless families this year with food, toys, and gift cards. 


‘Winter Wonderland’ October Fundraiser 
Last week, I sent out an email with all the information for the fundraiser. We hope every student will get involved in helping raise funds for their classroom.
