Principal’s Welcome

Greetings Riverview Christian Academy Families,

I am beyond excited to be joining the team for this school year.  My name is Mrs. Hamel and I will be teaching and taking over the Principal position of the school.  My passion is education and I have been in the field for over 12 years.  I have served on RCA’s school board for many years and have been dedicated to RCA behind the scenes to improve the wonderful program.  I was the director and owner of a pre-kindergarten school for the past 12 years where I was the instructional leader as well as the manager of a team of 14 teachers.  Not only am I an educator, but I am also a mother who will bring with me two children, one for our Kindergarten class and one for our third grade class.  I feel God has called me and motivated me to make this school the best in Reno not only for my own children, but for your children too. 

Our enrollments numbers are constantly changing but I wanted to give you an update on our projected grade level assignments.  Our projected numbers will have  Ms. Goulard teaching tk- 1st, Mrs. Beddoe  and myself teaching 2nd -3rd, Mrs. Camacho teaching 4th – 5th , and Mr. Bentjen teaching 6th -8th.  This class arrangement is subject to change based on enrollment numbers and final classroom arraignments will take place when enrollment numbers are finalized.   If your child is in the 2nd – 3rd grade group we will be sending more information regarding the two teacher schedule. 

Please be sure to turn in your registration packets and pay all fees if you have not done so already.  Spots are not considered to be held until payments have been made.  Be looking for a welcome letter in the next few days to prepare for next school year. I look forward to meeting all of you and your children.  This is going to be a very special year!

BE KIND
