Fall Picture Days

October 12–13

I want to highlight this parenting resource: The National Center for Biblical Parenting.


The National Center for Biblical Parenting is a Christian ministry dedicated to helping parents move beyond simply managing their children’s behavior toward shaping their hearts. Their resources combine biblical truth with practical strategies to help parents develop wisdom, responsibility, integrity, internal motivation, and a strong conscience in their children. Through articles, books, courses, seminars, and coaching, Biblical Parenting equips parents to address the heart issues behind everyday behaviors, and disciple their children toward lasting character and faith.

Lunch Sign-Ups | September 21–25

Lunch sign-ups are completely optional and will be available throughout the school year, giving parents the opportunity to enjoy this special time with their children while visiting them at school. We look forward to welcoming you to campus for lunch!


Click the link to sign up to enjoy lunch with your student during the week of September 21–25.

Parent Lunch Sign-Up Reminder


Before completing your Parent Lunch sign-up, please double-check that you are selecting the correct day and date for your visit.


We have had several instances of parents accidentally signing up for the wrong day, which can create capacity issues in our lunch spaces. Unfortunately, if a parent arrives on a day they did not reserve, we may not be able to accommodate them if all available spots have already been filled.


Thank you for taking a moment to verify your reservation details before submitting your sign-up. We appreciate your help in making lunchtime visits a positive experience for everyone!

Elementary Basketball Sign-Up 2026–2027

It’s time to sign up for Rejoice Elementary Basketball! Basketball provides a great opportunity for students to grow physically, socially, and in their faith, with First Things First devotions beginning each practice.

The athletic fee is $150, and jerseys (top and shorts) are approximately $90. We’ll be using the same jerseys as last year, so returning players who still have their jersey do not need to purchase a new one.


1st–2nd grade teams will practice twice a week, while 3rd–6th grade teams may practice up to three times a week. Practices will be Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, or Friday evenings, with games on Saturdays.


If your child is interested in playing, please complete the appropriate girls or boys basketball sign-up below and select their grade for the 2026–2027 school year. The form also includes an opportunity to volunteer as a coach. Check your email for the league calendar with scheduled game dates and additional information.


Go Eagles!

Preschool Food Drive

Our K3 and K4 students are looking forward to serving one of our community food banks, Neighbors in Need.

Mark 10:45 says, "For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and give his life as a ransom for many." Our students' hands may be tiny, but they're mighty!  


During the week of September 21 through October 2, students are encouraged to send non-perishable food items to help us fill our blessing boxes.

Parent Event Volunteering

The 2026–2027 fall sports season is here, and we're excited to cheer on our Eagle teams!


To help make our athletic events successful, we ask each student-athlete household to complete two volunteer shifts during the school year, either in concessions or at the ticket booth. These may be fulfilled by each custodial parent serving once or by one parent serving twice. RCS Athletics depends on the support of our families. Thank you for partnering with us and helping us represent our school with excellence. Go Eagles!


Volunteer opportunities are available for volleyball, softball, spirit trailer, elementary football, and MS/HS football.
