If a student failed with a 60-69 you can participate in Intercession on Edgenuity. Intercession allows a student to do work on Edgenuity and if the student passes the course there will be a first-semestergrade adjustment to a 70 on their transcript for the course.
If a student failed with below 60, you will participate in Course Recovery on Edgenuity. The first semester failing grade will remain on your transcript and you will be taking the course again to receive credit.
RCA will be offering a course recovery intercession using Edgenuity starting March 20th. The intercession will run Monday – Thursday from 3:15 – 5:15 pm at RCA and conclude on April 13th.
There will be no intercession during Spring Break. Transportation will not be provided. This recovery is for selected 1st semester RCA academic courses. If you finish the course early, you do not need to stay the entire session.

CLEAR BOOKBAG FAQ'S
Beginning with the 2022-23 school year, all bookbags (backpacks) 
must be clear. Students will carry their laptops in the school-issued, non-transparent laptop bag. RCPS will provide each student with one clear bookbag at the beginning of the school year. Students participating in an extracurricular activity are permitted to carry non-transparent bags to store items pertaining to their particular activity (i.e. band, athletics, etc.). Upon entry into the school, all extracurricular activity bags must be stored in lockers or designated areas. All bags are subject to search. Additionally, the maximum size for non-transparent bags that students will be permitted to carry during the school day, such as lunch kits, pencil bags and purses, will be 6” x 9”.

DRESS CODE
Our students are required to dress in a manner that demonstrates their commitment to a professional and productive future. Therefore, business casual is the preferred form of standard dress for our students. Each career pathway participates in Dress for Success days and require more specific dress to promote both professionalism and safety within our labs. Your individual instructors will provide more specific guidance pertaining to dress within your pathways.
While complying with the school system’s entire dress code policy, there are particular areas of dress that will be strictly enforced in order to promote professionalism:
-
Jeans and pants may be worn with holes, however, no skin above the knees should show. Leggings (not flesh tone), tights, shorts, etc., must be worn under the pants to cover the skin. Please note excessive holes are NOT allowed, even if the skin is covered.
