    We would love for your family to attend Meet the Teacher night on Tuesday, August 6. This is a great time to meet your child’s teacher, fill out additional information for school, and turn in school supplies. Students in 5th-12th grade will pick up their class schedules at Meet the Teacher Night.

    The event is come-and-go, and the times are staggered in case you need to go to multiple campuses. 
     

    Meet the Teacher Times:

    • Elementary 4-6 p.m.
    • Secondary 5-7 p.m.
  • Dress codes at Rapoport Academy are in place to support learning. Students must dress appropriately “so that clothing is neither revealing nor detracts from learning.” Students who choose to dress inappropriately will be required to change clothes or go home for the day.

    Specifics for each campus’ dress codes are outlined in our district student handbook available here >

     

     

     

  • All returning families have already completed the online re-enrollment form before school lets out. Other new school year forms will be ready for families at Parent Orientation and Meet the Teacher Night. Families new to Rapoport will complete enrollment paperwork over the summer prior to orientation and Meet the Teacher.

  • Schedules will be ready at Meet the Teacher Night on Tuesday, August 6 from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Secondary campus.

  • Rapoport Academy students in Pre-K – 8th grade are eligible to register for the RAPS After School program. Students are considered enrolled in the After School program only after parents have completed the online registration and paid the fees.

    In fifth grade, students move to a six-class period schedule. They have a homeroom teacher who is your primary point of contact along with Mrs. Williams, the 5th grade admin assistant.

    Teachers will keep in touch through Parent Square during the year about homework, tests, and other academic activities.
