Now Enrolling New Students
The Roseville City School District is excited to announce the launch of our Online New Student Registration portal for the upcoming 2017-2018 school year. Registration is now open for New Students (only) to the Roseville City School District.
This system is a secure and green process, which allows the Roseville City School District to verify all student demographic, emergency, and medical information for your student prior to the start of the upcoming school year.
We encourage all new families to complete the online registration process. Your new student’s registration will not be complete until the forms have been submitted online. If you do not have access to technology, we can help! Just reach out to your student's school of residence, and you can make an appointment to use a school computer to complete the process.
For returning students, we will send an email in the spring to complete their online registration process.
Please check the District website at rcsdk8.org to get started!

Foundation News!
Comfort Food Cook-Off Was Music To Our Ears... And Bellies!
Over 300 people gathered to support the District’s music education program at the first-ever Comfort Food Cook-Off at BMR Napa AutoCare Center. Our principals and their helpers whipped up delicious comfort food. Thank you to all the chefs, volunteers, sponsors, and Bill McAnally for making it a fun-filled event that directly supports music education.
Since it was a cook-off and our principals are a “wee” bit competitive, choosing a winner was tough! However, the 300 taste testers voted, and the winners were:
Best Appetizer: Woodbridge Elementary
Best Entree: Kaseberg Elementary
Best Dessert: Fiddyment Farm Elementary

Principal Spotlight
Karen Calkins serves as principal at Cooley Middle School. Here's your chance to get her know her better!
I was led into education because... I always loved writing and people, and in college, I narrowed it down to English and kids. In addition, I grew up the daughter of the best teacher I know, my father, who taught high school Chemistry for 38 years.
My favorite Cooley tradition is... our "Cobra Strike" greeting. Mr. Saldana created a greeting that is taught to all students and staff. Instead of a handshake, high five, or fist pump, we make our hands into a cobra and "strike."
The most rewarding part of being a principal is... the great responsibility to make sure that students and staff love school - or most of it - every day. To ensure that this happens, I get to work with so many teams of smart and passionate and creative and loving people.
My hobbies are... I love flea markets, thrift stores, yard sales, and the half-price Goodwill Sales.
My family includes... My husband, Duane, who is the Woodshop Rocks teacher at Buljan Middle School, and we have a daughter who is a senior in college, and a son who is a freshman in college. We also have two dogs and a cat. And we all love being a part of RCSD! ❤

Cooley Middle School’s “ReCycle” Bike Drive was a Huge Success!
It was cold, windy and rainy, but that didn’t stop our amazing community from driving to Cooley on an early Saturday morning in January to donate their used bikes! Over 135 bikes were donated to Cooley’s Geared Up! class, where students refurbish used bikes using STEAM concepts, and then donate them to those in need. Plus, more bikes have been donated since the event. Cooley accepts any bike in any condition during school hours. Even Good Day, Sacramento showed up to interview Cooley teacher, Mr. Jackie Musick, to learn more about the Geared Up! program.

Superintendent’s Corner
Every week, I push pause on the task at hand and leave the office. That's right, I grab my keys and leave the building, knowing where I am headed will keep me focused and mindful of the magnitude of our work at Roseville City School District.
Where do I go? I'm off to a place far greater than the confines of the office. I make a point of leaving the District Office so that I can spend time in classrooms with students and teachers, which gives me a perspective that isn't found in an office. Engaged, inquisitive students greet me as they do any new adult in the classroom, and before long, they forget about my presence and continue their learning, which often takes place in small groups, with technology and in the presence of the true hero -- their teacher. I see problem-solving in action and hear conversations that contribute to learning and growth.
Thank you to our principals and staff for always welcoming me and sharing the challenges and successes that come with education. Sharing a few minutes each week is fulfilling, knowing the decisions I make as your superintendent impact that classroom.
As we move towards the second half of the year, I look forward to watching our 19th school, Orchard Ranch, prepare for a new generation of students who eagerly await their first days at a brand new campus. Just to provide some perspective, the last school we opened a few short years ago, Fiddyment Farm, is already full, with SEVEN kindergarten classes. That's a record.
As always, I welcome parents and families to contact me with any questions or concerns. I can be reached at Dgarcia@rcsdk8.org.
Sincerely,
Derk
