Message from Mrs. Ramirez

Dear Rejoice High School Families,


I hope your family is enjoying a wonderful summer! As we prepare for a new school year, I wanted to introduce myself and share how excited I am to serve as your new High School Principal.


I truly believe God has been preparing me for this role, and I am humbled and honored to lead our high school. I love Rejoice Christian School and look forward to partnering with our exceptional faculty and with you as we help students grow academically, spiritually, and personally.


Thank you for entrusting us with your students. I look forward to meeting each of you and partnering together for an outstanding school year centered on Christ.

Rita Ramirez

  • On Thursdays, our school hours are 9 am-2:45 pm.
Student Schedules

Due to FACTS system updates, 6th-12th-grade schedules must be reworked. Schedules will be released on Monday, August 10. Printed schedules will also be available during Welcome Day on Tuesday, August 11!

Student Drivers & Parking Permits

High school student drivers will need a parking permit. Students do not need to re-register for a tag if they already have one. The tags will carry over from year to year. If they get a new car, they will just provide the updated information for that vehicle to the Director of Security, Mr. Jeremy Alexander (in person or by email), and he will update the system. The tag goes with the student, not the car. Please find car tags now.

Student Responsibilities

The 2026–2027 Student and Parent Handbook will be released next week. Thank you for your patience as we finalize updates and prepare this important resource for the upcoming school year.

Student ID Badge Policy

High school students can pick up their ID badge on Welcome Day or on the first day of school. Badges will be available at a table in the main foyer outside the High School Front Office. Students will need their ID badge to purchase items from the cafeteria.

Before Care Information

Hours are 7:15 am - 7:40 am. Students wait in the main foyer until they are dismissed at 7:40 am. There is no charge for high school Before Care. This time can be used as a study hall or for extra help if arranged in advance.

Regular Drop Off Information

Students arriving between 7:40 and 8:00 am are to be dropped off at the following locations:


  • 9th-12th grades at the HS doors.


Students being dropped off by their parents after 8:00 am should enter the building through the high school main entrance and report to the receptionist to obtain a tardy pass to class. Student drivers arriving after 8:00 am are to enter the school via the HS doors and also report directly to the receptionist (first) to obtain a tardy pass before going to class.

Lunch

Students have the option to bring a cold lunch from home or purchase one at school. School lunches are billed to the student’s FACTS account. Our food service provider is Taher. Download the Food 4 Life app for nutritional information. A hot lunch option and a grill option are available each day, along with individual items for sale.


Grades 9th-12th = $7.25


Lunch menus are available on the Rejoice Christian School Website.

Regular Pick Up Information
  • Our dismissal from high school is at 2:45 pm every day. Entrance gate 4 opens beginning at 2:30 pm.
After Care Information

All MS/HS students must go to After Care if they are not picked up by 3:15 pm and do not attend an extracurricular program. After Care is from 3:15 pm until 5:30 pm. Students are required to be in AFTER CARE if they remain anywhere on campus after 3:15 pm unless they are WITH A PARENT OR UNDER STAFF SUPERVISION FOR A SCHOOL-SPONSORED EVENT. HS After Care incurs an additional cost of $7.00 per hour, with a half-hour minimum. HS After Care utilizes the CarRiderPro system for pick-up at the HS Front Office doors. Parents do NOT need to enter the building to sign out their students.

Building Contact

Please email hsreceptionist@rejoiceschool.com to add to or change your student's pick-up list and/or order an additional CarRiderPro tag.


Please note that absences can also be reported through the RCS app under the section entitled “The Nest."

Nurse

If a student presents with fever, vomiting, or diarrhea, he/she will need to stay home for 24 hours fever-free, at the campus nurse's discretion.


If a student takes medicine during the school day, please contact Nurse Elicia Hill. All medicine must be brought in by a parent/guardian and kept in the nurse’s office.


Lastly, per the Student & Parent Handbook, it is the responsibility of the parents/guardian to keep the school nurse informed of a student’s medications or health status. If there have been any changes to medications, it is the parents’ duty to inform the nurse so that we can help provide the most appropriate care for each student. If you have any health or medication-related questions, please reach out to Nurse Elicia Hill.

Newsletters

Our communications team will send parents a newsletter every Friday. This newsletter will include important school information and updates from the administration.

Parent Alert Texts

To ensure that you receive Parent Alert texts from the school, please text the word START to 31706.

Back to School Events

WELCOME DAY is on Tuesday, August 11, from 3:00-5:00 pm, and serves as a time for students (and parents) to meet their teachers and find their classrooms.


BE YOUR STUDENT NIGHT is on Tuesday, August 18, from 6:00 - 7:45 pm. This is for parents only and offers a chance to meet each of their child’s teachers. We’ll meet first in the auditorium, and parents will be released to go to their child’s first-hour class.


You’ll follow your child’s daily schedule (which, of course, will be abbreviated). If you have multiple students on the MS/HS campus, you can choose which schedule you want to follow.   

A Note About Semester Exams

MS/HS Fall Semester Exams are scheduled for three days at the end of the semester:

  • Wednesday, December 16 (8:00 am to 2:40 pm)
  • Thursday, December 17 (8:00 am to 2:40 pm)
  • Friday, December 18 (8:00 am to 1:00 pm), with early dismissal for all students. 


Exam days are counted as regular school days, and all students (except those exempt from exams) are required to be present during those days.
