Good Evening Parents!


As we approach Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday, please allow me to encourage you to sit with your child and explain the importance of what Jesus has done for us on the cross and the importance of His resurrection. Here are a few scripture references that may help: John 3:16, Matthew 28:1- 10, John 20:19-23, 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18. 


Every year, I look forward to celebrating Resurrection Sunday at church with my family. If you don’t have a place to worship, I invite you and your family to be our guests at Rosanky Baptist Church. Sunday School starts at 9:00 AM (for all ages), and Worship Service starts at 10:00 AM.


Iowa Academic Assessment Testing- Students in LC 6 and LC 7 will start taking the online test on Tuesday, April 22.  


DONUTS & DADS!!- On April 28, at 7:45 AM, we invite Dads to come enjoy donuts, coffee, & juice with their student(s). If Dad can’t be here, students are welcome to invite the next closest person! We also have some dads on stand-by if anyone would like one of our RBC Church Members to join them!


Field Trip!- This Thursday, LC1 and LC2 will be heading to Fairview Nursing Home, the Lockhart Auction Barn, and to the park! Please make sure permission slips are turned in to their teacher.

Good Afternoon Parents!

You can’t have a great week without a great Monday! Students are off to a good start in the final quarter of the school year. Please check daily for homework slips. Students 

Iowa Academic Assessment Testing- Students in LC 6 and LC 7 will start taking the online test on Tuesday, April 22. LC 5 will start taking the test on Tuesday, April 29. The Iowa Test takes approximately 3 school days to complete.

We can use one more volunteer for Picture Day. If you would like to volunteer, please let your child’s teacher know.

Students are in full stride as they begin the first week of the 4th Quarter. Parents, we join you in wanting to see your child finish the school year strong! Arriving at school on time is one way to help students have a productive day. Parents with student drivers, please ensure your child makes it to school before 8:20 AM. Also, let me encourage 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.
​
Field Trips- Teachers will be reaching out to share field trip information with you. Please make sure permission slips are turned in on time.

​

The 3rd quarter of this school year ends this Friday. Be sure your child is at the proper level and on schedule to complete at least 3 Paces in each subject for the quarter. If your child is behind and not on level, they will complete more than 4 Paces in any subject in which they are behind. We want each child to achieve Privilege Status for the quarter.

Students can dress in uniform, or parents can choose their outfit for their Spring pictures. If your child did not take an individual picture in the fall for the yearbook, they will need to take a picture in their school uniform. After they take their yearbook picture, they can change into their second outfit. We will reach out to you individually if this applies to your child.

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.
RCA T-Shirt Order Form


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,
JR Regalad

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
