We report JVLA 8-10 GHz ($lambda$=3.0-3.7 cm) monitoring observations toward the YSO cluster R Coronae Australis (R,CrA), taken in 2012, from March 15 to September 12. These observations were planned to measure the radio flux variabilities in timescales from 0.5 hours to several days, to tens of days, and up to $sim$200 days. We found that among the YSOs detectable in individual epochs, in general, the most reddened objects in the textit{Spitzer} observations show the highest mean 3.5 cm Stokes textit{I} emission, and the lowest fractional variabilities on $<$200-day timescales. The brightest radio flux emitters in our observations are the two reddest sources IRS7W and IRS7E. In addition, by comparing with observations taken in 1996-1998 and 2005, we found that the radio fluxes of these two sources have increased by a factor $sim$1.5. The mean 3.5-cm fluxes of the three Class I/II sources IRSI, IRS2, and IRS6 appear to be correlated with their accretion rates derived by a previous near infrared line survey. The weakly accreting Class I/II YSOs, or those in later evolutionary stages, present radio flux variability on $<$0.5-hour timescales. Some YSOs were detected only during occasional flaring events. The source R,CrA went below our detection limit during a few fading events.
