Dear Families,

Thank you for your continued patience with our new family pick up system. We have had some issues with the technology and we are working to fix it. We believe it will be fixed by Monday.

Students in grades 1-5 should have brought home a car tag. All Kindergarten families have recieved their car tag. If you did not get one please contact me at kristen.smith.olson@isd623.org. While we want you to use the Pikmykid app, this car tag will also provide the staff the information they need for you to pick up your child.

We need families to stay in line if you are family pick up. If you park you may be asked to wait, because staff are following the dismissal plan with Pikmykid.

For those using the app, click here for hands free announcing.

Kind Regards,

Principal Kristen

Roseville Area Schools has implemented a new transportation routing system to improve the efficiency of our bus schedules for picking up and dropping off students. While this system is designed to enhance our transportation services, we ask for your patience as we address and resolve any initial issues. If you need to request a change to a bus stop or if you no longer require transportation services, please email us at transportation@isd623.org or call us at 651-635-1638.

Please be prepared to provide the following information:

• Student Name
• Student ID
• Reason for the request (for example, relocation, change in transportation needs)

Please note that we are processing requests as quickly as possible; however, any changes to existing bus stops will not take effect until after the first week of school. You will receive updates and information about any changes via email, so please ensure that your contact details are current. This includes verifying that your most recent telephone number and email address are on file to ensure you receive all necessary communications promptly.

The safety of our students is our highest priority, and we appreciate your understanding and cooperation during this transition. Thank you for your patience.

Principal Kristen

We were so excited to see the students this week and are looking forward to a great school year!

Course Syllabi Review & Return

This week, each student will bring home their course syllabi for review. The syllabi will outline key topics, expectations, and important dates for the year ahead for their classes. Please take a moment to go over the materials with your student and sign the pink slip that is attached to the syllabi packet. Students should return the slip to their advisor. Feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns.

Snack Guidelines

7th and 8th graders are welcome to bring a mid-morning snack to advisory class. However, candy, cookies, and other sweets are not allowed. Snacks should be "snack-sized," and water is the only beverage permitted in the classrooms and halls.

Special Donation Request

We're asking for donations of used tennis balls to place on the feet of student chairs. Thank you!

The premise is simple: there are five specific actions (listed above) that can be performed during an incident. When communicating these actions, each is followed by a "Directive." Execution of the action is performed by active participants, including students, staff, teachers and first responders.

Benefits - The benefits of the SRP become quickly apparent. Standardized vocabulary for clear understanding, continuity for students, simplified training for teachers, predictability for first responders, easy parental understanding, rapid response determination, and a predictable series of actions during emergencies.

Throughout the year we will be going through different drills covering these 5 Core Actions.

Roseville Area Schools will continue to offer free meals for all students during the school day, including healthy breakfasts, lunches, and after-school "super" snacks. To ensure our meal programs remain effective and equitable, we are implementing some changes to our procedures, specifically regarding second meals and additional lunch servings.

Changes to Meal Procedures

Elementary Schools:

• Elementary students will no longer be able to purchase additional items such as entrées or sides. However, milk may still be purchased separately.
• We encourage students to make the most of our meal offerings by eating breakfast, utilizing the share cart, and enjoying the "all-you-care-to-eat" fresh fruit and vegetable options available with their lunch serving.

Secondary Schools:

• Secondary students may purchase additional entrées, sides, or milk if they have money in their meal account.
• To purchase additional items, students must check in at the designated cashier, receive a food tray, return to the serving line for the additional items, and check out at the designated register.
• Students with negative meal balances will not be permitted to purchase additional items.

We encourage all students to take advantage of the free breakfast and lunch offerings, which include unlimited fruits and vegetables and access to the share cart. Secondary students also have the opportunity to enjoy free super snacks at the end of each school day.

Thank you for your understanding as we make these adjustments to better serve our students.

Upcoming camps include:

• Science Magic with KidScientific
• Junior Raiders Dance Team
• Chess Club
• Coding & STEM Club
• Fall Theater Club
