CommUnity Building Field Trip to the Movies
We are so excited to revive this RAUC tradition of going as an entire school to watch a movie together on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving (tomorrow, Wednesday, Nov. 24!).
Details:
 We will leave from RAUC at 9:05AM and walk to Apple Cinemas.
- We plan on returning to RAUC around 12PM for lunch.
- Students will be dismissed at 12:55PM
- NOTE: Families have given extra to ensure this is a true commUnity trip (Thank you all so much for your generosity!), and we have enough (and more*) to ensure that every student can go whether they’ve turned in money or not...So even if you have not turned in money, don’t worry--your student is welcome!
- Any extra funds will go to helping make end-of-year trips accessible to all students.
All students must dress according to the weather forecast! Check out these slides with more guidelines for the field trip that was shared with your students.
We do need permission slips--you can find it here if you haven’t signed and turned it in yet!
School Pictures Have Arrived!
During advisory classes this morning, every student received...
 a 5x7 group photo of their advisory class
- any packages or items that you ordered (if you ordered through the paper order form)
- OR a proof of the photo if you did not order anything.
- If you didn’t order a photo but would like to now, you can order a photo online at Geskus using the unique code on the proof or by filling out a paper order form (Note: if you order the paper order form, you will not have to pay for shipping/handling)
- To request a paper order form, please reach out to Julia Ho.
- When returning the order form, please include the proof.
- Want to order a photo but need some help with the cost? Please reach out to Julia Ho for a scholarship package.
Missed picture day or unhappy with the pictures? We will have a re-take day next Thursday, December 2nd, morning. Click here for a flyer with instructions on how to pre-order photos from re-take day.
Students: Audition for RAUC Musical Willy Wonka Jr.!
 We are delighted to announce that this year's RAUC Musical will be Roald Dahl's Willy Wonka Jr! All students are invited to audition to be a part of this awesome show. Follow Charlie Bucket as he finds a golden ticket and wins a tour at the famous Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory. Students wanting to be a part of this great program will audition on either December 8th or 9th (sign ups by the general music/chorus classroom). Callbacks will be on December 16th. If you have any questions please reach out to Ms. Elguindy.
Reminder: Does your student need to leave early? Please call the school!
 Families: here are just a few reminders for our school policies on early dismissals:
- If your student needs to leave school early for any reason, please make sure to notify the school by calling 617.349.4060.
- If your student is feeling sick during the school day, they must see the school nurse. The nurse or a school staff member will then contact you if your student needs to leave school early.
- Students should not be calling families directly to be picked up without first letting school staff know.
- This helps ensure that we know that each student is safe and accounted for. Thank you for your help in reminding our students of this policy!
