RCA Houses

 

Ron Clark Academy House Systems

The Ron Clark Academy (RCA) House System is a dynamic, exciting, and proven way to create a positive climate and culture for students and staff. Using RCA’s methods our school will implement the processes that build character, relationships, and school spirit. 

LES House Systems

LES House Systems will be implemented this school year. Houses will include the following Houses- Altruismo, Amistad, Isibindi, Reveur, Onranka and Nukumori. 

Students will be sorted into houses based on random selection in August. The following years, only kindergarten and new students will be selected for houses as students will stay in their house for the remainder of their time at LES.  Students will earn points for their house for behaviors that are above the ABC school rules. These can be related to behaviors such as effort, good character, citizenship, responsibility, safety, academic improvement,  achievement and excellence, etc.  A list of guidelines for earning house points will be shared with students and parents. 

Houses will meet each month to discuss character, academics, building relationships, leadership, and school spirit. 

Character education including the  character word of the month will be taught through the house systems. Students and houses with the most character points will earn character awards. Student government will be incorporated through the house systems with 5th grade students serving as house leaders. 

Each house will be identified by their house name, color, symbol,  and signal. A house t-shirt will be ordered for each student. Students will wear their house shirts or colors on school spirit days which will be every Friday and other special announced days.
