The MAC Scholars Academy will faciliate homework sessions for any students on Tuesday and Thursday after school from 2:30-4pm. Teacher and peer tutors will be available to assist students during this time in the Library.

ALL sports and activities during the 2023-2024 school year for St. Charles West need to have a sports physical on file through on your rSchoolAccount. Please visit https://stcharles-ar.rschooltoday.com/ to create an account or to update your already existing account.

-All student athletes, Esports, dance, cheer, and marching band will need to fill out paperwork and submit through RschoolToday.
-RschoolToday requires the MSHSAA Medical Eligibility Form to be uploaded. Doctors determine length of eligibility up to 2 years
-If you have registered during a previous school year, login to your current family account and complete registration for the 2023-2024 school year.

New this year, MSHSAA will be requiring the new MSHSAA Medical Eligibility form (page 5 of attachment) to be completed in lieu of uploading a physical form with private, medical information on it. If you currently have a valid physical uploaded, this will be sufficient until it expires. Moving forward, ONLY the MSHSAA Medical Form will be accepted.
