I hope everyone is having a great week!This month is Early Registration for the 2026-2027 school year. We will start accepting new student registrations in March. Please be sure to register before the February 27 deadline.
​
Parents, thank you for referring RCA to your friends and family! We have received calls and have a few parent interviews scheduled already.

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. 

Students with more than five tardies will not be eligible for their quarterly field trip.

Valentine's Parties     
This Thursday, students in LC1-4 will have their Valentine's Day Party, and Friday, LC5-7 will have theirs; please read your classroom group messages to know what your child will be doing that day. 

FUNDRAISER UPDATES

Feel free to email [email protected] with the details, or you can call Ms. Sue and let her know. Please continue to reach out to family, friends and businesses for Live Auction donations and to be Sponsors--we still need Live Auction items AND Sponsors. Check the google doc if you are unsure where to go or who to ask. 

Silent Auction: Drop off any Silent or Kids auction items anytime between normal school hours--just bring them to Ms. Sue's office in the church building. We would love to have these before Wednesday, Feb. 25th (this makes Auction set up on Friday, Feb 27 much easier!)

Family Assignments on Auction Day: You should have received your family's assignment for the day of the auction (if you did not receive an email, let me know). The success of the auction is dependent on everyone being at their station or area on time. If you have any questions or concerns, stop by the office so we can discuss them.
BBQ Tickets: Money for BBQ tickets is due this Friday. Students are required to sell all of the tickets they received.If you have any concerns about turning in your money by the 13th, please come by the office so we can discuss.

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

School Holiday

Noon Early Release: This Friday is noon release; please make arrangements to have your child picked up at noon. If you have someone picking up your child and they are not on the Pick Up List, please be sure to send a note to your child's teacher.

This is the 4th week of the 1st quarter. We have just one more week until mid-quarter progress reports are issued.

Progress Reports
Progress Reports will be sent home in your Parent Envelope during the week of October 6 (LC 3 -7 only). If your child has homework, please ensure that you read and sign your child’s homework slip. It is our mission to have every student meet their goals each quarter. If a student is not completing their homework assignments, it will be difficult for them to meet their goals.

Absence and Tardies
For an absence or tardy to be excused, students must have a parent's or doctor’s note. Tardies and absences are being recorded. If a student has more than five tardies per quarter, they will not be allowed to participate in their class field trip.

SYATP
See You At The Pole this Wednesday! We will meet at 7:30 a.m. on Wednesday, September 24 (please have your student at school at 7:25 a.m.). All students will gather around the flagpole in the courtyard—parents, you are welcome to stay. Remember, students who attend are allowed to wear jeans with either a SYATP shirt OR an RCA shirt. Afterward, we will have snacks for LC 5-7 in the chapel and for LC 1-4 in the fellowship hall.
SYATP is a national student-led day of prayer. We are excited to see the Upperclassmen model their leadership abilities and pray for their peers.

Coloring Contest
The Rosanky Community Center asked our students if they would like to participate in a coloring contest. Coloring Sheets need to be turned in to their teacher this Friday. 

Grandparents/Grandfriends Day
Parents, if you have not signed up or if you are unsure what to bring, please contact your child’s teacher. Students will be dismissed from their classroom at 11:00 am to join their Grandparents/Grandfriends for lunch. Parents, to help us prepare in time, we kindly ask everyone to drop off the food in the morning or please have it here no later than 10:00 am.
We understand some students may have grandparents who are no longer with us, so we encourage them to invite their Grandfriends!
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED: We need two parent volunteers to help with the setup of the Grandparents Day lunch. Please contact Mrs. Sue at [email protected] if you are available to help.

Friday Noon Early Release
This Friday is an early release day. If your child is not going home with a grandparent, they will need to be picked up at 12:00 pm. Students may leave with their grandparents/grandfriends after lunch. If they are not on the Student Release Form, please send a note to the teacher.
There will be NO AFTER SCHOOL CHILD CARE this Friday

Picture Day

​
RCA Holiday
On September 29-30, the RCA Staff will be attending an A.C.E. Educators Conference in Houston, TX. There will be no school on these two days. School will resume on Wednesday, October 1.

Dear RCA Families,
I hope everyone had a wonderful start to their week. My family and I enjoy beginning our week in worship at church—it’s a special time for us to pause, reconnect, and grow together. If your family is looking for a church home, I encourage you to find a place where you can worship and serve. Being part of a church community can be a great source of encouragement and strength.

Most students are doing well in the classroom, and several have already taken their first test of the school year. Parents, please give close attention to homework slips. Completing homework on time is essential for students to stay on track with their academic goals. Even one missed day of homework can impact a student's progress for the week or quarter.


Coloring Contest – Entries Due Friday, September 26
The Rosanky Community Center has invited our students to participate in a coloring contest. All completed sheets must be turned in by Friday, September 26.
Last year, 6–8 of our students won prizes, and we’re looking forward to seeing even more winners this year.


See You At The Pole – Tuesday, September 24 at 7:30 AM
If you ordered a See You At The Pole t-shirt for your child, please make sure their cash or check payment is submitted to their teacher as soon as possible. Shirts were delivered today and will be handed out tomorrow or Wednesday. 
SYATP is a special morning of prayer and fellowship, and we’re excited to see our students lead in prayer and worship. 


Grandparents & Grandfriends Day – Thursday, September 26
We are looking forward to celebrating our Grandparents and Grandfriends at RCA. Students will be dismissed for lunch at 11:00 AM. 
Please note: This is an early noon release day.
Dish Sign-Up Reminder:
If you have not yet signed up to bring a dish, please do so at your earliest convenience.

• Families with more than one child should sign up for each student separately. (For example: two students = two dishes.)
  
• Sign-up form: Grandparents Day Sign Up
  

Thank you to those who have already signed up!


Parent Packet Reminder
We still have a few parent packets that have not been turned in, and several that are incomplete. Please submit all completed packets by Wednesday. If you are unsure whether your forms are complete, please call Mrs. Sue in the RCA office for assistance.


Thank you for your continued prayers and support,

You can’t have a great work week without a great Monday! It was a joy to walk through the classrooms today and see students working diligently. Parents, your involvement matters—please continue helping your child stay on track by reviewing their homework slips each evening.
We are now in the second week of the first quarter. If you have questions or concerns about your child’s progress, please contact their teacher. Meetings can be arranged as needed. Thank you for being active partners in your child’s education. 

Lunch and Snack Reminders
Morning Snacks:
If your child is returning home with snacks, it could be because teachers are discouraging kids from eating snacks like candy and fruit snacks during their morning break. Please pack nutritional snacks for their lunch and morning break.
​
Water Bottles:
Students are encouraged to bring a leak-proof, refillable water bottle or container each day. This helps reduce the number of classroom disruptions for water breaks and we want to be sure students are drinking plenty of water.

See You at the Pole (SYATP) 
Wednesday, September 24 at 7:30 AM
The Global Day of Student-led prayer is on Wednesday, September 24, beginning at 7:30 am (please have your student to school by 7:25 am). We will meet at the RCA flagpole and our LC 7 students will lead the school in prayer. Parents are welcome to stay and spectate! Students who attend SYATP are allowed to wear jeans and their SYATP t-shirt or an RCA school shirt. We will have breakfast items available afterward.

Good Evening Parents!

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.
