The Free Meal Program Continues!
We are pleased to serve grab-and-go breakfast and lunch to ALL students in the district for the remainder of the school year! Thanks to a federal grant, RCSD will be able to offer free meals to anyone under age 18 at Roseville City and Dry Creek schools.
Students attending school in person will have their meals sent home with them, and pickup is available daily from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at any school site for all other students.
RCSD’s nutrition department serves nourishing meals complete with whole grains, fresh fruits and veggies, and low-fat milk. Through a partnership with the Life Time Foundation, the district has removed high-fructose corn syrup, trans fats, artificial flavors, and more from 80% of its menu items.

Maintenance and Facilities Update
Buljan Middle School is getting a fresh look with new grass at the front of the school!
COVID-19 Safety Measures
The RCSD maintenance crew kept hard at work replacing schools’ HVAC system filters with MERV 13 filters, which circulates cleaner air. The team has also installed plexiglass shields for office staff throughout district and school offices to better protect against the spread of COVID-19.

While many things are different this year, what is not changing is the Tommy Apostolos Fund's dedication to Roseville families. With a little creativity and flexibility, they continue the festive and heart-warming tradition of the Kids Shopping Days to provide teacher-recommended RCSD students with winter essentials.
Every year, hundreds of volunteers ascend upon Kohl's to outfit students with winter essentials. This year is no different. In fact, more than 450 students were nominated to receive new coats, shoes, pajamas, and more.
Please visit the Tommy Apostolos Fund website for more on how to donate or get involved.

Superintendent's Corner
I’ve got to admit, the holiday season inevitably makes me nostalgic, and this year is no different. Rereading my superintendent’s article from December 2019, I came across this statement: “The future looks so bright that I can’t help but keep looking forward to the goals, milestones, and growth at our fingertips.” It’s clear that at this time last year, we had no idea what was looming around the corner.
Despite the recent setbacks, I would like to recognize the hard work of our staff, families, and students that allowed us to still chase our goals and reach the milestones and growth we had hoped for. November 4, 2020, we welcomed nearly 200 students to our 20th school, Riego Creek Elementary School, for the very first time. I’ve been to several grand openings for new schools, and I am confident that I’ve never experienced the palpable thrill and relief from the students and families as I did on that day. The genuine care and commitment exhibited by the Riego Creek staff have affirmed my commitment to our District culture of placing children at the center of every decision that we make.
As we look at the growth we have experienced as a District, I’m not looking at numbers. I’m looking at the growth demonstrated by the maturity and kindness of our students. They have been through so much, but I am proud to see them becoming vital members of our school and local community. The growth of our staff members’ toolboxes as educators is second to none. We knew that our teachers were superheroes, but now they have sharpened the skills they never expected to need, blowing me away with their ability to broaden their skillset and act as a north star for their students, leading the way with grace and flexibility.
So while you cannot compare this year to last year (talk about apples to oranges!), I can’t help but feel like we were still able to chase our goals and reach the milestones and growth we hoped for - they just look different than expected.
Sincerely,
Derk Garcia
Superintendent
