Important Update: 2025–2026 Roller Cyber Academy Applications

We’re excited to announce that applications for the 2025–2026 school year for the Roller Cyber Academy (RCA) are now open!

In order for students to be considered for enrollment in Roller Cyber Academy (RCA) at the start of the 2025–2026 school year, the RCA application must be submitted no later than August 8, 2025.

If the application is submitted after August 8, 2025, there is no guarantee that the student’s application will be reviewed in time to begin RCA on the first day of school. In this case, your student’s application will be reviewed during the 1st or 2nd marking period by school administration.

If approved for RCA after the school year begins, the student will begin RCA at the start of the 3rd marking period (January 19, 2026). This is due to the structure of semester-based courses, which run during MP1 & MP2 and MP3 & MP4.
 

Grade Level Eligibility for RCAPlease note that the Roller Cyber Academy (RCA) is currently offered only to students in grades 4 through 12.

Through our experience and thoughtful observation, we’ve found that students in grades K through 3 thrive best with the structured, hands-on learning and social development provided by in-person instruction during these foundational years.

Our goal is to support student success in the most effective way possible, and we appreciate your understanding as we work together to provide the best educational experience for every child.
