Running Report Card Reminder

Principals, a reminder that you must provide your teachers a preview before final report cards go out. Please get your staff the timeline for their preview and when you will run their report cards. 

Generating Report Card Guide

If you are sending out report cards by email:

SwiftReach | Using PDF Builder to email Report Cards | Updated 2021

Attendance records will be through May 31st, and will start showing by 7am on June 2nd. Here is the new comment that needs to be added in the footer:
Attendance records for dropped classes are not included on this report card. Attendance records are through May 31, 2023.

Elementary Info Only

For Trimester 3 you will select the year, not the grading period. This will allow comments from all 3 trimesters to print on the report card.



Elementary Discovery Education Science Kits

In a continued effort to always use our resources to the best of our abilities and use our space the best we can, we will be collecting back some of our Discovery Education tubs. However, it will be essential to read the directions carefully to know what tubs and how many. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out with questions. 


  1. Each grade level is required to keep at least one Discovery Education kit. A grade level can keep more than one if they would like. 

  2. All other tubs will be collected by the LMS and returned to the RCSD Media Center. 


We will have a new system at the beginning of the 23-24 school year for teachers to request consumable science materials. We have pre-purchased items by grade level for teachers to request. These are the set items for each grade level moving forward and will be provided based on availability. Information about additional items to support science will be shared at the beginning of next school year. 


FAQ:

  1. Can a teacher take out an item from a tub and then return the rest of the items? No, we are trying to keep bins as complete as possible.  It would be best for a teacher to keep the bin if you would like to keep something in it.  

  2. Can a grade level keep one full-grade kit and one or two tubs from another teacher's kit? Yes

  3. Will all my consumable materials be replenished? No, we have pre-ordered the most popular items based on feedback and the most common items across the grade level to replenish. All other consumable items need to be replenished by the site. 

  4. Do I send back loose materials that were not originally in bins? You can, however, you can also keep those items as part of your set. 

  5. Can the Discovery Education items in the tubs be used for Mystery Science? Yes, our hope for combining all materials is to get science in the hands of more students.

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).

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.
