Many of you have asked when the t-shirts and hoodies with RCA logos will be delivered. We are sorry to say it will be a few more weeks because of some items that had to be backordered. We are in frequent contact with the company and will let those who ordered items know as soon as they are available. Thank you for supporting our school and for your patience in this matter.

If you have gently-used costumes that you would like to donate to our “Costume Closet”, please bring them to the office by Monday, Oct 25. These will be made available to students who want to participate but are unable to get a new costume this year. —Thank you for sharing with the RCA community.

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!
