Dear Reid Temple Christian Academy Families,
Where has the summer gone? It is hard to believe it is the end of August and we are approaching the start of a new school year. A new school year that will be significantly different with new leadership, programs, and teachers that are focused on our amazing scholars' academic success! Additionally, the start of a new school year always brings a mix of emotions to our scholars. For some, there is enthusiasm and excitement while others may experience apprehension and concern. This is normal and to be expected. As we continue to emerge from this endless pandemic, it is important that we work together to make this new school year a great one. Two key components of our efforts at Reid Temple Christian Academy are to build strong partnerships with our families and provide frequent communication. I would like to share important updates and announcements.
PARENT-STUDENT HANDBOOK
To further build the community we all desire, the school has updated our comprehensive Parent-Student Handbook which will be shared with all of our families. Every parent should take the time to familiarize themselves with the school’s policies and procedures. Knowing the school’s expectations for parents and students will help eliminate any future misunderstandings or concerns. As always, thank you for your continued partnership and support.
SCHOOL CALENDAR
The Academic Calendar for the year has also been updated for the 2023-2024 school year. Please note that parents will be notified of any changes as soon as they are made. Our families can access the Academic Calendar on our website and here: 2023-2024 Academic Calendar
UPDATED LATE ARRIVAL POLICY
In carline one and two, our staff will receive students from 8:00 am to 8:15 am daily. Any student that arrives after 8:15 am will be considered late and is unable to enter the Academy until the designated late arrival pick up times. Parents who arrive after 8:15 am must park their vehicle in the parking lot on the side of the Academy. Once parked, please escort your child to the Academy door and a RTCA or RELC staff member will come down to escort your child at the following late arrival pick up times:
8:20 am, 8:45 am and 9:05 am
No student will be picked up after 9:05 am unless the parent notified the main office in advance. Please note that each tardy will be unexcused if it is not accompanied by a doctor’s note. We thank you in advance for your cooperation and support.
DRESS CODE
We are excited to see our scholars on Monday, August 28, 2023! We expect all students, in grades PK2 - 8, to be in full uniform. Information regarding the Dress Code is found on our website, as well as here: Uniform Dress Code
