Opportunities for Parental Involvement (School Year 2020–2021)

Redding Collegiate Academy provides a great way for families to experience a flexible academic program with high standards.


Parents join our school and participate in our school for a variety of reasons:
• The opportunity to move through the curriculum at a personalized pace
• The freedom to customize their learning experience
• The opportunity to work with a knowledgeable staff who have a great track record of building positive relationships with families and their children
• To accommodate frequent travel or residing far from a public school
• If a child is managing an illness and cannot attend a public school on a regular basis
• To accommodate a preference for a smaller school environment or desire to have a break from the social challenges of a regular public school environment
• To provide additional educational experiences not offered in public schools
• To build relationships with other home school families and experience the opportunity to collaborate and support each other.

Parents are always welcome to attend field trips with their children, join in activity days, and participate in meetings to learn instructional strategies to work with their students and collaborative learning activities with other families.

Note: The 2019–2020 suspensions and expulsions rate data are not comparable to prior year data because the 2019–2020 school year is a partial school year due to the COVID-19 crisis. As such, it would be inappropriate to make any comparisons in rates of suspensions and expulsions in the 2019–2020 school year compared to prior years.

School Safety Plan (School Year 2020–2021)

Safety of our students and staff is a primary concern. Our Comprehensive School Safety Plan is updated on an annual basis. The plan includes all specific Education Codes and Board Policies as they relate to campus and student safety. All emergency and disaster procedures, campus maps, and site information have been updated. The emergency kit list is reviewed and revised annually through our district Safety Committee. The Incident Command System (ICS) ensures an accurate and timely flow of information and communication. It outlines a systematic chain of command and gives a detailed description of specific duties for each position within the ICS. Administration use the Safe and Orderly goals, as well as various student discipline data, to analyze and make adjustments to any site based protocols or procedures. There is an annual drill log, plan review, and section for School Site Council approval. The emergency flip charts are updated and posted throughout each campus.


Procedures were reviewed with all staff and students. These protocols are used throughout the year so that students have the procedures firmly in mind.


Fire, disaster, and lock-down/active shooter drills are conducted on a regular basis throughout the school year to ensure that students, teachers, and staff know what to do in case of an emergency.


All visitors must sign in at the front office; wear identification tags while on school grounds, and sign out upon departure.


Fencing, gates, and signage have been installed at all sites to funnel visitors to the front office during the school day, as well as to help deter trespassing and loitering during non-school hours.


Policies, including sexual harassment, suspension and expulsion, dress code, and discipline, are reviewed each year with staff and students.
