SAT Prep Course π
On Wednesday, November 29, we will be hosting an SAT Prep Course at ARC for students registered for the Dec 2nd SAT. Those students will spend half the day working on the verbal section of the SAT and half the day working on the math portion of the SAT. A flyer with more information will be coming home with those students as well as an email to their parents. They will be in the session the entire day.
ARC Military FamiliesποΈποΈποΈ
We wanted to take this opportunity to inform you of a valuable resource provided by the Department of Defense. Due to the unique challenges military members face and the impact they have on families, the Office of Military Community and Family Policy provides Child and Youth Behavioral Military Family Life Counselors (CYB-MFLCs). CYB-MFLCs address challenging behaviors and strengthen the capacity of staff, families, programs and systems to meet the needs of military children and young people. See ARC homepage for more information or contact: Janelle Quinn, LPC (ARC's MFLC Program, Military and Family Life Counselor) Email: JSQUINN9@MagellanFederal.com Phone# 706-550-8809

Time is running out to take advantage of early bird pricing for Senior Ads in the 2024 Yearbook. All ads are created and paid for through the Jostens Website. Prices will increase Nov 18th. Again, click the picture to access the link.

Canvas Parent Tips ππββοΈ
Can't find us in the Parent App?
Yeah, I couldn't either. While I was logged in as a parent, I went to Account. Scrolled down to QR Code for Mobile Login and there it was! Very easy...once you know what you are looking for!
HOT TIP
Switch browsers. For whatever reason, I kept clicking logout and it was keeping me logged in to my son's account. I had his account open in Chrome and had to create my account in Firefox.
Go to the parent site. Create an account. Enter one child's paring code--I suggest doing your favorite kid first....kidding! Once you are logged in, if you have multiple kids, go to Account, then down to Observing. In the box, add the pairing code from your other child and click "+Student." Voila!
Want to observe your kid's classes in Canvas?
Get the paring code from your child(ren). To do that, have them login. Go to Account. Then Settings. On the right side, there will be a button that says, "Pair with an Observer." Write this code down or take a quick pic for your child (or children if you have multiple in the school system. Do all of your children at once. It'll be easier. Also, if you are a teacher in RCSS, it was recommended to me to use a separate email account from my work email.)
