RCS Covid-19 Preparedness Plan Please take a moment to review the RCS Covid-19 Preparedness Plan for the upcoming school year. This plan is subject to change based on individual school circumstances. Last year, our school community worked together to provide a safe, in-person education for our students, and with your continued dedication, we look forward to making that happen again this year.

Moms in Prayer Calling moms, grandmas, aunts and any woman desiring to pray for students, faculty and staff at St. Francis of Assisi School. We will meet starting in September. Charlotte Bruining will be organizing this group.
HERO T-shirts The last Tuesday of each month, we come together as a school community for a school-wide "class meeting". We get a preview of our upcoming virtue of the month, hear a bit about the saints we will be learning about, and discover how growing in virtue helps us eliminate bullying language and behavior. We wear our HERO t-shirts that day with uniform pants, shorts, skirts or skorts. T-shirts are purchased annually for all the new staff, new students and kindergarteners. If your child has outgrown their shirt and you need to purchase a replacement, please access the order form here. Shirts will be ordered the first month of school, and again in January.
