Richmond College Prep (RCP) believes in goal setting and a growth mindset approach. Every class sets English Language Arts (ELA) and math goals, and every student sets individual goals connected to assessments. RCP provides progress monitoring for all students and interventions for students who need extra support, including Saturday School. The school uses a Reader’s Workshop model, and all teachers prioritize literacy during daily instruction in all subjects, including ELA, writing, math, science, and social studies.
Richmond College Prep (RCP) provides social-emotional support for its students. Teachers implement “The Toolbox Project” and Mindful Life, teaching students strategies to deal with conflicts and emotions. RCP has a counselor on staff and offers many parent engagement opportunities. For example, RCP holds a weekly Parent Coffee Club with an average attendance of 20 participants. They are featuring guest presenters, workshops, classes, and training on subjects such as family literacy projects, CPR, computer literacy, and more. RCP has two Family Nights (literacy and math) and two school festivals, which feature community resource signup tables and a Scholastic Book Fair. RCP also holds a monthly School Site Council (SSC) and English Learner Advisory Committee (ELAC) meetings.
Richmond College Prep (RCP) offers student leader programs, theater, gardening, and an after-school program, along with two community garden work days. RCP parents are encouraged, invited, and trained as necessary to support in the classroom and to chaperone on field trips. RCP communicates with parents via email, robo-calls, text messages, fliers, and posters. In partnership with the City of Richmond and West Contra Costa Unified School District Food Services Department, RCP has offered a six-week summer program, which included soccer and tennis lessons, as well as breakfast and lunch.
