Tiger Tuesdays During the months of December and January RCE will host “Tiger Tuesdays” for new prospective families. We invite any interested families to come by school. Families can tour the school and classrooms, meet the teachers, speak to members of the Administration, and receive information concerning RCE. Please spread the word and invite someone to join the RCE Family!

RCE participates in the Box Tops for Education Program. The money rewarded for Box Tops is used by the PE program to purchase new equipment and educational videos for the students. Students can turn in 25 Box Tops at a time to Mrs. Stefanie Arceneaux, our new PE teacher, and receive a "Lap Pass". Students can then choose which day to use the Lap Pass to sit out on our daily running warm up exercise.

Safe Environment Parent Sessions As per guidelines mandated by the Diocese of Lafayette, Rayne Catholic Elementary is required to offer Safe Environment sessions to educate our parents. The Virtus website features weekly articles that have beneficial and helpful information. The weekly articles can be found on the main page of the website. It is our ultimate goal as a school that our parents are informed and our students remain protected. Please click on the attached Virtus link for this week’s article: http://www.virtus.org/virtus/ Keep in mind you are required to attend a continuing education class or an on line class each calendar year, the link to these articles is not considered a recertification. If you have any questions regarding Safe Environment Training please contact the office and our staff will connect you with our Safe Environment Coordinator.
