The mission of the Roosevelt Children’s Academy is to prepare students to fulfill their potential and become productive members of society. RCA will provide a rigorous academic program that expands students’ horizons and maximizes their abilities, and learning community that sets high expectations for our students, builds their confidence and self-esteem, celebrates their differences, encourages critical thinking, and fosters a love of learning.

The COVID-19 pandemic had a profound effect on the lives of all members of our society as well as the education of children throughout the world. As a school community, we understand the importance of planning our reopening plan, while continuing to take into account the school’s mission as well as ensure the health and safety of all members of the RCA Family. In addition, it was also important to address various significant issues, such addressing students’ social and emotional needs, ensuring all students have the ability to participate equitably in remote learning and providing for the additional academic support for our struggling learners.

As a collective team of all RCA stakeholders, we have created the following RCA Reopening Plan that highlights three components—equity, collaborative teamwork and instructional achievement. Equity remains our foundational cornerstone for our reopening remote learning plan. Roosevelt Children’s Academy remains committed to a holistic approach where in addition to academic support, we will continue to support students and families with their physical, mental, and emotional health during this unprecedented time.
