Quarter 3 Ends Wednesday, April 13
Students receive progress reports at the end of the 3rd quarter. These reports provide helpful information on what your student is doing well and how they can grow. Progress report grades are not final grades. Those come at the end of the second semester.
- Teachers will have been in touch with you if your student is at risk of receiving a C- or below to ensure we are partnering with you to provide your student an opportunity to bring their grade up.
- Progress reports will go live in Aspen on Friday, April 29.
- We will also mail copies home.

Student Bake Sale for Ukraine
Our student council is hosting a bake sale to help raise funds for a charity focused on helping Ukrainians! Please see the message below from our student council for more information:
- Hello RAUC families!- As most of you know, Ukraine is currently under invasion. Seeing as we can’t help Ukraine directly, we as a community decided to start up a bake sale. This bake sale will fund our contribution to Direct Relief, a charity which is currently focusing on helping Ukrainians.
- The bake sale will be taking place at the front courtyard of the RAUC and Peabody School. This is also where bus pickup and drop off happens. It will start at 2:55PM on April 12 - April 13th.
- We would love for students and families to participate by donating any baked goods. If you plan on donating, please email Marilyn Rottersman OR you can bring baked goods to the RAUC main office on the morning of April 12 and 13. Thank you for your help and support!

American Math Competition Results
In January, 11 students took the American Math Competition, an exam designed to promote problem-solving skills. We just got our results. 6th grader Isaac Goodman did extremely well -- he scored in the top 1% of the nation (for a test mostly taken by 8th graders). Way to go Isaac and all our students who took the test!
