Morning Meeting at RASA is an engaging way to have a healthy start to each day, build a strong sense of community, and set children up for success socially and academically. Each morning, students and teachers gather together in a circle for twenty minutes and interact with one another during four purposeful components.
Starting our school day with music together helps us begin the day with a moment of calm and focus.
To stay updated on your student’s breakfast and lunch menus each week, parents can visit this website or access the menu through the district’s food services page. This provides a detailed list of meal options, ensuring you’re informed about what’s being served each day. It’s a great way to help plan and discuss healthy meal choices with your student!
Please complete the You Benefit! form for the 2024-25 school year. By completing the form, you will help us access all available funds to cover the cost of meals, and other nutritional programs for students.
Immigration, migrant, citizenship or refugee status is not required when completing the form.
ALL students receiving a school meal will need to enter in their Student ID number.

As we enter the school year, please be aware of our visitor policy. We are currently working with DPS Safety & Security on installing the Raptor System, which ensures that any visitor to the school is safe to be around students. Once we complete installation on RASA’s Raptor system (aiming for early September), ALL visitors to the building during the school day must first make an appointment with our administrative staff and sign in at the front office and before entering the building. Please also make sure to let your homeroom teacher know, especially if you are planning to visit in class during the school day. We honor and value both the connection to home/families as well as the safety of our students and appreciate your cooperation in following these procedures.
We will notify families 2 weeks prior to each no-student contact day. These days are also on our school calendar.
Here is a link to the DPS 2024-25 calendar.
