Week of December 14-18

Hello Trailblazer Families, 

Thank you for all of your continued support as we work hard to keep our students safe and healthy! We love having our students back on campus. The last few weeks I have enjoyed spending time with our students both on site and in Champions through a Snacks & Stories book club via Zoom. We will kick off another book club in February/March so stay tuned for that as well!

Please read below for important information regarding our Free/Reduced Meal program and funding. We need your help by filling out the form linked below which helps support many programs that highly impact kids in RCSD. Thank you for your help and support.

Linked below are the 7 Habits we discuss at Diamond Creek. Over the school year, we will spend time each month reviewing one of the 7 Habits along with the essentials that align with each Habit.

Feel free to print and use these posters at home as well.

Hello RCSD Families,

  

The Annual Household Eligibility Form (or Free and Reduced Meal program) is more important than you might think.

 

The Free Meal Program typically provides assistance to those who qualify, and even though meals are free for all students for this school year, we are asking you to please take a moment and fill out Annual Household Eligibility Form online at https://www.rcsdk8.org/annual-household-eligibility-form. The application is due by December 15, 2020.

 

By taking time to fill out this form, it allows our District to potentially capture funds lost by the lack of forms filled out to date. If you have already completed a Meal Application for the 2020-2021 school year, please also complete this form.

 

The number of students that qualify for the Free and Reduced Meal program impacts many services and programs that RCSD offers families. 

 

Our students and schools are at risk of losing 23% of the supplemental grant funding that supports those programs due to the lack of applications submitted to date. 

 

This 1-minute video explains more about the form and the funding that goes along with this form.

 

The supplemental grant supports:

  • Mental & Health Services - help fund school counselors and health aides.

  • Class size reduction - help fund smaller class sizes in Transitional Kindergarten and 4-5 grades.

  • Foster youth and homeless services - help fund resources for both foster youth students and students experiencing homelessness.

  • Music & Elementary PE - funds a portion of the teachers’ salaries for these programs. 

  • AVID and IB programs - help to fund school sites that have AVID and IB programs.

  • Technology - help to ensure students and staff have internet connectivity.

  • Intervention Services - help fund staffing for intervention teachers and other intervention support providers.

  • World Language Program - help fund world language teachers at all four of our middle schools.

We appreciate your time and continued support.

 

Thank you,

 

The Roseville City School District

You can also donate gift cards (ex: Big Spoon, Taco Bell, Red Robin, Chipotle) for the older kids. There will be receptacles by each entrance gate to place toy donations in, and gift cards should be given to the teachers.  We have been helping out the Roseville Police Department for over 15 years with this Toy Drive and know this has been a difficult year for many and truly appreciate any support you can provide.

Updates from our week at Diamond Creek  Thank you to all of our parents for taking time to meet with your child's teacher this week.  Our teachers appreciate this face to face meeting time with you.  We are all a team working together to help each child at Diamond Creek be successful and your support is such an important piece of the puzzle.  Thank you for your time and support! On Tuesday, we were lucky enough to have our local Fire Department visit us and lead us through a fire safety assembly.  The students learned what to do in the case of a fire and were able to see the transformation that happens when our firefighters put on all of their gear.  On Wednesday, we had a building wide "READING DRILL".  We all stopped, dropped and read! It was a delight to see students throughout our whole building reading for 15 minutes all together.  I had so many students afterwards tell me they wished it was longer and ask if we could do that everyday!

  9/9/2022   Happy Friday Trailblazer families,   We completed our LEAD Passport adventure today.  Your children have now traveled to all 7 of our common areas to learn what it looks like to be great Listeners, be Empathetic, be Accountable and how to be Disciplined. Due to the smoke, we had them meet in their Village Meeting Spot and the presenters traveled to the students. These passports should have gone home with them today.  It would be wonderful to have them step into the role of being the teacher and share with you what they learned about each area’s expectations.     DC NEWS IS BACK Our Student Leadership under the direction of Ms. Triplett and Mrs. Lopez is back in action.  One of the projects they work on is our DC News.  Click HERE to see this week’s broadcast!     SPIRIT WEEK-GETTING READY FOR OUR WALK-A-THON We have a great week of school spirit ahead culminating with our Walk-a-thon on Friday, September 16t...
