Congratulations Diamonikk September's Student of the Month!

Hello Early College Family. Join me in our celebration of Hispanic heritage month. This celebration begins on September 15th because it marks Independence Day for Costa Rick, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua. Mexico’s Independence Day comes a day later on the 16th, and Chile’s falls on September 18th. We join with our Hispanic community in celebrating the histories, cultures, and contributions of American citizens whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America. Hispanic refers to people who speak Spanish and/or are descended from Spanish-speaking populations. Contrasted by Latino or Latina or Latinx which refers to people who are from or descended from people from Latin America. Did you know that the cowboy hat, rodeos and ranching are all from Spain and Mexico? The state names of Montana, Colorado, and Nevada all come from Spanish words. Hispanic Americans have fought in every war with 1.2 million veterans in the United States identifying as Hispanic or of Latino descent. On another matter, Jostens’s has changed the date they will be here for Cap, Gown and Ring orders. This new date is September 30th and they will be in the lobby of the A. D. Lewis Auditorium accepting orders for Cap and Gown at 1 o’clock pm and Ring orders begin at 2:00 pm. Driver’s Ed Class will begin soon for students who have turned 15 on or after April 18, 2007. Fee Waivers are available, see Mrs. Richardson. Thank you, Dr. Clark

Hello Early College Family. We are pleased to see the vans transporting our students in the mornings again. This should prevent the loss of instructional time. Remember that progress reports are going home this week, make sure to ask your student to show you theirs. The end of this 9 weeks will be October 8th. Remember as well that we have a ½ day for students on Wednesday. The other ½ part of the day the students should be involved in some sort of project-based learning. College side students with afternoon classes will need to have their own transportation home. Our virtual PTA will be held on September 20th, students will be given the link to log into the meeting later this week by their teachers. Our teachers are beginning their tutoring after school. If your student is having any issues in class they should certainly sign up. I do not have access to the college side grades. Please have your student log into their RCC account and show you their grades. Help us with that. Students who don’t maintain a certain GPA may have their enrollment here jeopardized. Keep the following dates in mind: September 21st--Jostens Cap and Gown Ordering Information meeting at 1:00 in the Student Center. Class ring ordering informational meeting begins at 2:00. Our next Driver's Education Class begins October 18th and will end on November 2nd. If your birthday is on or after April 18, 2007 you may sign up. The cost of the class is $65.00 (a fee waiver is available upon request).

Hello Early College Family. Please remember our Title 1 virtual meeting is tonight at 6:00 pm. The meeting should only last about 30 minutes or so. The link has been shared with your student. Please remember that the only students that may attend virtually are students who have gone through the application process at the board and the students who are having to quarantine. Students must make every effort to attend school. If your student is out for any other reason than the ones mentioned above, they will be counted absent. We realize there is often a delay in diagnosis of close contact which necessitates quarantining and when the student’s name actually appears on our quarantine list. Our teachers know this and attendance will be corrected when and if needed. Remember that September 6th is a holiday. September the 15th is a ½ day for students in person and ½ day virtual. September 20th will be our first PTA beginning at 6:30 pm. The advisory council will meet virtually at 6:00 pm. The PTA link will be shared with your student. The advisory council link will be shared with the members soon. Look for progress reports during the week of September 13th. Free tutoring (virtually or in person) for all college side students. Please contact the Learning Center in Building 14. Thank you for all your support and have a great evening. Dr. Clark

Hello PSRC Early College Family. Last day to change any schedule is August 25th. Students will begin riding busses to their local high schools on Monday the 23rd, they then, will be transported to the Early College by a different bus. Parents should contact bus coordinators at the local high schools if you have any questions. If you are picking up your child in the afternoons, please make an effort to park either in the middle parking line or the one closest to the cemetery. This is to prevent cars moving around our vans. Our students must walk that area looking for their vans and many do not pay sufficient attention to moving cars. We have made every effort to prevent the movement of cars around those vans. Moving forward we will engage RCC’s Security Guards. Our Title 1 Parent Night will be held virtually on August 31st at 6pm. Students will be given log in information by their teachers. September 6th is a holiday. We will release students at 11:30 on September 15th. Students will be expected to participate in virtual learning activities that afternoon once they arrive home. Students who have college classes in the afternoon on the 15th must find a way home since the vans will depart campus at 11:30. September 20th will be our first PTA meeting at 6:30. This meeting will be virtual and students will be provided a link by their teachers. We encourage everyone to join our PTA, they do awesome things for the students and staff. Have a great evening, Dr. Clark

Hello Early College Family. Thank you all for a great beginning to our 21-22 school year. A few reminders: Parents who are picking up and dropping off their children—if you park closer to the third line of parking spaces you will be able to pick up your child and leave much sooner than possible if you are in line with the vans. The same applies for morning drop off if you arrive after 8:10. We realize that we need to work on some schedules for our Juniors and above. The process has been explained to them during advisement and we will adhere to that process. If you are having issues with the vans please call Ms. Renet McQueen at 671-6000 extension 1603. Remember Mrs. Richardson will be sharing a Google form for college side textbook pickup. Please check your PSRC email as well as your RCC emails. Our Title 1 Parent Night will be on August 31st at 6:00 p.m. That meeting will be virtual and we will share the links with your student. Thank you and have a great evening.

Williams Auditorium. Graduation will be May 26th at 10:00 on the lawn behind the library as well. Have a great evening.

Hello to the 11th grade class. The Biology exam was not given at the end of the year last year. So this semester some of you will need to take that exam. The ones that need to take it now are the students who are currently enrolled in BIO 112 on the college side. So if you are an 11th grader and you are not enrolled int BIO 112 you do not need to show up to take the exam on Tuesday May 25th. If you are enrolled in Biology 112 then you must report to school by 8:15 on May 25th to take this Biology exam. If you do not report your exam score will be recorded as a 0 in PowerSchool. If you need to verify this check in Mrs. Sinclair's Canvas for a list of students who have to test. This is a state requirement. Dr. Clark
