  • Elementary PD on March 21, 2022 Info
    We wanted to give you more details about the March 21 PD Day. Brandon emailed all TK teachers so they know they are to attend this presentation. Susan will let RSP, SDC, ASD, and FSP teachers know they also will attend. PE teachers are meeting on their own during this time and will go over the sections that are specific to them. Music teachers swapped out this day for a Saturday music training they did in January. Aides will be getting additional information from Susan. If you have any questions about who should be attending the grading section of the PD day please let your coach know. Thanks!

  • Girls on the Run
    We wanted to celebrate that RCSD is the #1 largest school district in the program, with 32 percent of the girls this season coming from RCSD schools! We know for various reasons GOTR didn’t work for all of our sites but great to see so many of our RCSD students participating in this positive program.
  • Raptor
    Please make sure to use time with your staff this month to complete the initial setup in Raptor and practice viewing rosters during a drill situation (without the kids). A couple of things have come up during the initial setup:
    • Outside locations for evac drills have not been loaded in your account. Please email me the names of the locations you would like entered and I will get it done. For example, if you evac to the track, upper blacktop, and parking lot, send me those names.
    • There are about 50 iPads that are at their end of life that the app isn’t downloading on. If the teacher has one of those, it will not work. Laura sent an email yesterday to the sites that have these iPads. It will work once they get their new one.
    • Anyone on your campus can initiate an emergency using Raptor. Due to this, please make sure you are choosing to initiate a drill when practicing, not an emergency.
    • If you want to prevent the chance of a staff member not being able to log in on the Raptor app during your meeting, you can have them initially try it on the computer. Have them go to raptortech.com, choose Log In in the upper right, enter their email and password. If they are unable to log in then put in a tech ticket.
    • Check out the FAQs to see what others have asked to prepare you for questions you might receive from your staff. Reach out to me if you have any other questions.

Placer Food Bank Linked above is a resource for the Placer Food Bank public food distribution schedule. 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. Please refer parents to other resources. Fire Marshall Inspection Follow-up was completed with the fire inspector to clarify what each school site needs to have posted. Please review the following and make sure your site is ready to go. In the front office/in safety plan binder- easy to access: - Post the telephone number for the fire department. - List of who does what during a fire emergency. In each room by the door: - Post an evacuation map. - Instructions for what to do in an emergency (how do you account for kids, communicate, etc). This would be the evacuation part of your tactical plan. If your site has backpacks with the instructions in them, then there should be something posted

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.
