Would you like to be involved in our Kids First Committee (also known as SAC)? The purpose of this committee is to encourage communication between our principal, parents, and community members. The SAC serves in an advisory role to the principal for prioritizing spending, matters of student achievement and student learning. We would love to have more input from parents. The next meeting is Wednesday, Sept 8 at 11:00 a.m.
Starting tomorrow (August 31, 2021) masks will required for students and staff while inside the school building, in alignment with District 11's policy. This decision is in response to the El Paso County Public Health COVID community transmission rate now surpassing the District’s 200/100K threshold for elementary grades. Please remember to send your student to school with a mask.
Remember: Tomorrow from 5:00-6:00 is Open House at RCA. Stop by, meet your students' teachers, and check out some of the cool new stuff we have in the building -- like our new art room!
Please consider donating gently used uniform clothes to RCA when your students outgrow them. We use these for kids who need an emergency change in the middle of the day. We especially need clothes for boys in all sizes. Thank you RCA family!
Remember tomorrow is Red Day for our Kindergarteners!
It was exciting to hop back into the swing of school today! We hope everyone had a happy #FirstDay!
We are excited to kick off the new school year with your children and can’t wait to see their smiles at our Meet the Teacher event on August 6th from 1:30 until 3:00.
To celebrate the occasion, we will have a bouncy house, Sno-Cone truck, face painting, building tours and much more for everyone to participate in.
Over the past year, we have worked hard to grow our programs and upgrade our school to ensure that your children have access to optimal learning experiences in an environment that supports the needs of contemporary learners. From new classrooms, furniture, and hallway learning centers to enrichment programs that focus on student interest and a progressive Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) program to provide intervention in the areas of Math, Reading, and Behavior, Roosevelt Charter Academy can now offer instructional settings that truly foster the growth and achievement gains necessary to be successful in today’s world! We look forward to a new year of adventures in learning with you as our partners in the process.
Come to Meet the Teacher Day, Friday Aug 9 from 1:30 to 3:00 p.m. and enter your student's name in a raffle to win a free RCA shirt! One name will be drawn from each grade level. See you on Friday!
