Halloween at RCMS

Throughout the year, our students have multiple opportunities to dress in costume for academic and school culture purposes: Colonial Day, Literature Day, monthly spirit days, Career Day, International Day, Greek and Roman feast days, etc. For Halloween, however, we like to save costumes for any parties or trick-or-treating after school and off campus. During the school day, students may wear seasonal colors or tee shirts, socks, jewelry or hair accessories.

STUDENTS LEAVING EARLY

Due to the traffic congestion and the busyness of the end of each day, students needing to be picked up from school early, need to be checked out from the front office before 1:45pm (at least 30 minutes prior to dismissal).  Please plan accordingly when your student needs to leave school early for appointments.

ARRIVAL & DISMISSAL - Efficiently & Safely

 Please take a moment to review the protocols below to ensure that we keep all students safe and maintain maximum efficiency.

It is no secret that our parking lot can be a challenge during drop off and pick up times.  As we share the campus with our sister school, Mountain Valley Academy, we have strategically timed our RCMS and MVA arrival and dismissal times in order to minimize the traffic as much as possible. Please show extra grace and courtesy during the busiest times in the parking lot and follow these protocols:

• The middle row in the parking lot is one way (southbound) only.  If you pass through the middle parking row, please exit at the south into the inside lane for flowing traffic.

• The inside lane is for flowing traffic only - students may not enter or exit cars from the inside lane, only the outside lane (curbside).

• If using the pick up lane, you may only pick up at the curb in one of the 4 marked spaces.  There is no loading unless your are in one of these 4 spaces.

• Handicapped spaces are for vehicles with handicapped placards only.  Please do not idle or park in these spaces unless you have a valid handicapped placard on display.

• The school-side curb is for IMMEDIATE loading and unloading ONLY.

• Please remain inside your vehicle when picking up at the curb.  If your child is not yet able to get in the car and/or buckled on their own, you need to park and then walk up to meet your child.

• If your student is not in front of the school ready and waiting for pick up, please park in an available parking space to wait for their arrival.

• Please abide by all traffic laws.  Do not enter the parking lot using the exit lane, and do not turn left when exiting the parking lot.

• Pedestrians, please use the blue crosswalk in the parking lot to enter and exit campus.  Do not walk in-between cars in the pick up line.  This is not only dangerous for you and drivers, this also slows down the flow of traffic.

• If a friend or family member is picking up your student, please make sure they are aware of and follow the parking lot protocols.
