FRAUC Generosity
Families of RAUC has generously provided funds to support scholarships for a limited number of our students to attend in-person community sites for remote learning. Money for these scholarships came from the unused funds that FRAUC raised for the 8th grade DC trip that was cancelled last year. These scholarships would not have been available without the extreme generosity of our community and all who gave and worked so hard last year--your efforts made a difference! We’re incredibly grateful!
Tech Corner
Is your child distracted by Hangouts chats during class or work time? It's easy to turn off notifications for a particular Hangout. This tip and others are available on the RAUC Library website, on the Tech Help page.
If your Chromebook is broken in any way, take it to the Mobile Help Desk! The Help Desk is open Mon.-Fri. 8AM-4PM, and Sat. 10AM-2PM. They're located at CRLS. Come to the service windows beside the garage door, on Felton St. closest to Broadway. Look for the fluorescent pink signs hanging in the window.
Social/Emotional Well-being--Tip of the Week
“A child with a good sense of self is happier, more well-adjusted, and does better in school. Strategies for fostering self-esteem include giving your child responsibilities, allowing her to make age-appropriate choices, and showing your appreciation for a job well done.”
