Open Doors Academy will be offered beginning September 26, 2023. This year, we are excited to work together with the Junior Arts Program to offer students form 3-6 at the Intermediate and RCAAS buildings opportunities to get help academically, build upon reading and math skills, and learn and perform enrichment activities. Important to understand is that this program is not a holding facility or day care service. JAA and Open Doors offers students academic help if needed and fun enrichment activities after homework.
Attendance and appropriate behavior is very important for all students to feel safe and successful. Students who are already attending other clubs such as Boys/Girls Club, do not have to miss their previous commitments. Open Doors will take place TUESDAYS, WEDNESDAYS, and THURSDAYS at the intermediate building and students will be able to CHOOSE WHICH DAY to participate. RCAAS students will be offered a bus to travel to SIS on the day/s they which to participate. The program will start after school from 3-5pm with an optional bus ride home or parents can pick up their child at the Intermediate School in the front. Enrichment activities include: choir, art, theatre, drumming, drone flying, jewelry making, cooking, board games, Culture/Black History, STEM, chess club, and sports to name a few.

LUNCH BUNCHES and SMALL GROUPS with MRS. OSTERLING
We will have Lunch Bunch Groups with Chris Osterling again this year! Mrs. O, as we affectionately call her, is a behavior specialist consulting with our district. She spends every Wednesday with us at RCAAS. She works in conjunction with our school counselors to support their work with our kiddos as well. We will also be starting some small groups with Mrs. O. in a few weeks on more meaty topics with some of our friends.
Students may sign up in the cafeteria to indicate their interest in each Lunch Bunch topic, but families may also email teachers or Mrs. O. directly to urge their child's participation as well. (coster9596@gmail.com)
Here are some of the topics we are planning to start with, which will be repeated as needed so every child who wants to participate can do so.
I am really good at relaxing my brain!
I have the best way to fall asleep!
I know the best way to help someone feel comfortable!
I have an excellent method to get my point across!
I am a pro at managing annoying people!
What can I do when I don’t know what to do?

GIFTED FAMILY FOCUS WORKSHOPS
Mark your calendars for these meaningful workshops designed with your gifted child's needs in mind! Our district social workers and RCAAS staff have surveyed our students to determine the best topics to present to families in order to help our students during some difficult years, which have been compounded by the effects of the pandemic. These workshops will take place immediately following our MZ Student Art Gallery Show Openings every other month at RCAAS. Come and enjoy student artwork, then stay for strategies to help your gifted child in their educational and life journeys. We will even have some great prizes to share with participating parents/guardians at each session, so be sure to join us! We will move from the gallery to the auditorium and run the workshops from 5:30-6:30pm on the dates below. Workshops are free and open to ALL families of gifted students from ANY GRADE LEVEL attending ANY SCHOOL! Topics are coming soon!
