RLS Christian Day School Board Gives 5-Year Growth Plan

The plan includes a revitalization of the campus and updates to both curriculum and technology in the classrooms.

The RLS Christian Day School Board has recently announced a new vision to help develop a fresh and technically modern look for the school, including a recent name change to encompass all Christian faiths. 

A team of dedicated parent and staff volunteers are in the process of developing a five-year growth plan that seeks to improve student enrollment, campus equipment, school curriculum and classroom technology. The team of motivated volunteers and staff, each with unique talents and knowledge, are meeting regularly to implement these campus improvements.

The financial assistance to upgrade the technology at RLS is coming in from businesses, individuals, fundraisers and grants. The team has already secured enough funding for the school board to begin entertaining upgrades such as Singapore Math, a Spanish curriculum and iPads for the upper grades of thir through sixth classroom students in the Fall of 2013.

“The entire school is buzzing with renewed excitement and energy that seems to be growing every day,” said Joe Oviatt, RLS Christian Day School Principal.

“This is a mission to provide Ramona families with a school option that will feed the children both spiritually and intellectually” says Cheryl Williams, parent volunteer. “RLS Christian Day School has been providing children in Ramona with a great education for over 30 years. Our students have always tested well and will continue to do so. However, it’s time to upgrade what we have to offer our kids by incorporating a top notch technical side to our program.”

She went on to say, “I believe that the community of Ramona is going to see what is happening here and want to get involved.”

On May 4 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., a large craft and family fair will be held at the RLS Christian Day School campus located at 520 16th Street including more than crafters. The general public is welcome.

All proceeds from this event will go directly to technology, curriculum and textbook upgrades for next year’s students. Any school donations are also tax deductible.
