The School Accountability Report Cards (SARC) and Comprehensive School Safety Plans are due. Please click on the link to see the directions for the SARC and let Amy know if you need any help or have questions.  
The updates are due in DTS by January 18th.

January 7th Follow-Up
Elementary: There were a few requests from staff to have access to the training slides from our January 7th Professional Development Day. Enjoy!
Middle School: Thank you again for a great day of learning.  As a reminder, Brandon is more than happy to come out to your site or help any of your PLCs to answer any questions or help with rubrics.  The resources from the day can be found on the agenda. 
Middle School staff learning about why the change to standards-based grading and rubrics from Myron Dueck.
Can I Safely Use this App? Infographic
Here is an infographic that outlines what RCSD staff needs to know to vet third-party applications prior to use. With new laws around Digital Accessibility compliance and existing laws around Student Data Privacy, it is important to know what sites and apps staff can safely use.  

Please work with your LITE to find a good time to present to staff at an upcoming staff meeting.

PD and Different Opportunities
Love and Logic Classes Start in February
Please find attached the flyer for the February/March Love & Logic Training. There is still room, so please make sure flyers are posted at your sites and share with staff and families.

As always, if this is an IEP driven service, the Department of Special Education will cover the expense of the class.  Case Managers, please contact your Program Specialist if you are considering adding this to an IEP.  

If you have a parent who you feel can benefit from the class but is unable to pay, please work with your PTC to assist with the cost.  If that is not an option, contact Kathy Yang and we can discuss a scholarship.

This is something helpful to keep in hand for families in need not only during the holidays, but all year long. LiveScan Update The Roseville PD is no longer doing live scans for fingerprinting.

BUSINESS SERVICES Assemblies Involving Animals If you are hosting an assembly at your site that involves animals you may need to have parents sign the SIG Activities Waiver. All assemblies that involve animals on campus should be communicated to parents before the event. This can be done through an email, newsletter, blog, etc. If your students WILL be touching the animals, parents must fill out the SIG Activities Waiver. If your students will NOT be touching animals and will only be looking at the animals from a distance, you do not need to have parents fill out the waiver. Contact Amy Banks or Schelli Landreth with questions. EDUCATIONAL SERVICES LCFF Funds If you are placing any orders using LCFF money, here is a helpful resource to look at when determining if LCFF can be used. When in doubt, always reach out to your coach or Rachael.
