School begins at 8 a.m. and ends at 3:30 p.m. for all students.

Pre-K2 - grade 4 students should be escorted into the building by parents. Dropping off students in these grade levels in the parking lot and watching them walk into the building poses serious safety issues.

Students arriving in their homeroom classes or chapel after 8:10 a.m. will be marked tardy. A tardy slip will be provided during check-in until 8:30 a.m. Students arriving after 8:30 a.m. are required to go to the administrative office to pick up a tardy slip.

In an effort to improve communication with parents, this school year the RTCA administration will issue only two types of communication weekly: A voicemail and an email.

Each Sunday, parents will receive a call and/or voicemail detailing school-wide events.

A follow-up email will contain more specific information for your child's school -- Bethlehem, Lower or Upper. 

Thursday's Red Communications Folder has been discontinued. 

Additionally, families will receive a monthly calendar at the beginning of each month which will include important dates to remember, school closings (outside of weather related closures), field trip reminders and sports practices and games.

We will continue the practice of sending out occasional text messages for alerts, and to remind families of upcoming events.

If you've had changes to your phone number or email address, please email the administration to update your contact information.

All outstanding immunization forms must be turned in by Wednesday, Sept. 11th or otherwise your child will be non-compliant and cannot return to school on Monday, Sept.16th or until all requested items have been submitted.

Please contact Ms. Mason if you have questions.

All prescribed and over-the-counter medications must be brought in to the office and must be accompanied by a Medication Administration Authorization Form. This requirement is for each medication submitted.

Please contact Ms. Mason if you have questions.

All students MUST wear their official Academy dress or physical education (PE) uniform daily.

Pre-K2 through Pre-K4 are allowed to wear sneakers (black, white, or gray) with dress uniforms. Additionally, PE uniforms are optional for students in Pre-K4.

RTCA Administration will conduct unannounced periodic uniform inspections to ensure that students are consistently adhering to this policy.

Please help us not to interrupt the learning process by making certain that your child has on the required uniform.

PikMyKid is an online app RTCA uses to allow parents to participate in a car line or designate their child as a walker for our 3:30 p.m. dismissal only.

Please remember that the Academy’s day ends at 3:30 p.m. Therefore, the first group of students will be ready at 3:35 p.m.

Parents picking up after 3:30 do not have to use the PikMyKid app.

When your child is absent from school, please email attendance@reidtempleacademy.com no later than 8 a.m.

Include your reason for the absence in your email.

In the event of an early dismissal, please make sure to email your child’s homeroom teacher
and the school's front office.

Please include pick-up time in your note. All early dismissals MUST occur before 3 p.m.

Students will not be assigned homework on the days of PTSA meetings. 

These days are also dress-down Spirit Days, during which students can wear Conqueror gear instead of uniforms.
