Inclement Weather Closing
For information about school closings, listen to radio station WRJN – 1400 AM, or any Milwaukee television station. Racine Christian School uses an alert system that will place automated phone calls from the school office to all parents in the case of school closure or delay. We can add additional numbers to this call list if you’d like grandparents, babysitters, etc. to receive them as well (just let the office know). If the Racine Unified schools are closed or planning a delayed start due to weather conditions, Racine Christian School will be closed for the entire day.
We are so pleased with the many athletic accomplishments of our RCS Bobcats over the years! However, our trophy case is overflowing, and it is time to discard several decades’ worth of trophies. Trophies dating from 1980 until 2010 will be on display at our home basketball games Dec. 10 and Dec. 17. If, for nostalgic reasons, you would like to have one or more of the trophies, please feel free to take it/them home with you. Any trophies left after Dec. 17 will be disposed of. If you know of RCS graduates who might like a trophy, please let them know. If for any reason you can’t come personally to pick up a trophy you want, call Owen Van Swol, 262-412-7277.
First Student’s bus tracking app, FirstView, is now available for download on Google Play and in the App Store. You can also use their desktop version at https://web.firstviewapp.
Once you have created a new account, you will need to enter your child’s Student ID number from the postcard that was mailed to you this summer with your student’s route information. If you do not have that information, call the school office to get your student’s ID number.
If you have further questions about the app, please contact First Student’s customer support team at
888-889-8920 or support@firstviewapp.com
There are 2 ways to order your Yearbook this year

2. There are a limited number of paper order forms available in the school office if you’d like to pay by cash or check, rather than pay online. Pick one up in the office or ask to have one sent home with your child.
The yearbook order deadline is 3/16/2020.

We had GREAT attendance at our first home game last week. We hope to see you again this week!
We had such a fun night at RCS for our 1st home basketball game and unveiling of our new bleachers! It was a great night of basketball and cheerleading and a wonderful dedication to Cal Verbrugge, a man who devoted himself to Christian education. There was a brief presentation to Pauline Verbrugge who so generously donated the bleachers in memory of her husband, Cal.
RCS is in the process of updating our alumni list so that we can keep our graduates up to date on what’s happening at RCS. If you have children who have graduated from our school (no matter how long ago!), please help us by emailing contact information (address and email) to Dave Van Swol at dkvanswol@gmail.com or by calling the school office (634-0961). If your children have kept in contact with their classmates, please ask them to pass that information along as well. Thank you so much!
