RCA also offers the VPK wrap program, which extends the morning program for 3 ½ more hours. ATTENDANCE Preschool Attendance Policy Although Florida Compulsory Attendance Law does not apply to preschool, Regency Christian Academy expects parents to understand the importance of having their child in school daily. This is especially important in Preschool and VPK where students are daily preparing for Kindergarten. If a student is absent from school for illness, RCA requests that a courtesy call be made to the school office. Extended absences for vacation travel, serious illness or injury, surgery or death in the family should be coordinated with the preschool teacher directly in case class work or activities need to be made up.
