Hello RCLA Familia,
During a leadership transition there is change. As the new leader of RCLA I am committed to listening, learning, and observing what it means to lead at RCLA. There will be successes and there will be mistakes. I look at successes as things to continue and mistakes as learning opportunities to grow, change and improve. Please know all interactions and actions are with positive intent. We are all responsible, as a team, to provide the very best educational experience for each of our 261 students and embrace each family.
As your principal of your school I will:
· Treat students, parents and staff with love and respect
· Act with a caring spirit
· Nurture an inclusive and safe learning environment
· Seek knowledge and community
· Advocate for equity, excellence and opportunity for ALL
· Lead by example
· Expect excellence from our students and staff
· Believe in our collective ability to do great things
It has come to my attention there are three versions of the Parent/Student Handbook in circulation. At least one version, and I believe on the website the dress codes allows for khaki and gray bottoms/pants. Since this has been published and parents have purchased clothing in alignment with this publication, khaki and gray bottoms will be allowed until at least October 28, 2022, and further discussion will be held regarding allowing khaki and gray for the remainder of the 2022 - 2023 school year. Please accept my sincere apologies for the miscommunication.
Let's be patient and kind as we learn how to communicate and collaborate with a student centered focus.
In partnership,
Ms. Austin
Principal, RCLA
