It’s time for Returning Student Check-in!
This week, Tuesday – Thursday (July 26-28), parents and guardians are asked to stop by the school between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. to update information and fill out a few forms for the ’22-’23 school year. This process will take about 15 minutes per student. Parents need to be prepared to pay the $40 school supply fee with cash or card at this time. If that is not possible, we can also arrange a payment plan. THANK YOU for helping us get ready for a great school year at RCA!
Remember...Summer School is still going on this week. We'll finish up on Friday, July 22.
For the ‘22-’23 school year, parents and guardians will once again have to fill out an application form in order for students to receive free lunches. Lunches will NOT be automatically provided for all students this year.
The online application is now available, in English and Spanish, at https://www.myschoolapps.com/Application/TermsOfUse#.
We have computers in the Front Office that can be used to fill out the application. Paper applications will be available in the near future.
NO-STRESS SCHOOL SUPPLIES!
At RCA you don’t have to worry about shopping for your child’s school supplies. We have everything they’ll need except a backpack. All we ask is a payment of $40 per student to cover the whole year. Please be ready to make this payment (cash or card) during our Student Check-in days, July 26-28.
