Message from Principal Bacon
Dear RCP Families,
As we brought Black History Month to a close at RCP, we held our all-school assemblies in which many students shared what they had researched and learned over this past month about the amazing contributions of African Americans in the history of our country. Please check out the highlight video HERE.
Staffing for 25-26: As sent out early this week, I am in the process of gathering input on our priorities as a school on how best to staff our building to meet our goals. If you have not already done so, please give us your input by completing this survey by Monday, March 3rd at noon. Our Site Council and Instructional Leadership Team will be reviewing your responses to inform their recommendations.
Parking Lot Painter Needed: We are looking for a contractor who is willing to redo the parking lot lines pro bono. If you know of someone who would be willing, our RCP team would be very grateful. The financial situation with the district makes this work a very low priority. Please contact me if you can help.
For more important school news, please read below.
In Solidarity,
Principal Bacon
