The District is attempting, based on response, facility availability, and staffing needs, to offer a free academic support program for the children of Roseville City School District's staff members during contractual hours, if needed.  

If you believe you would participate in this program then please fill out the following survey which will allow us to gauge the interest and overall need for this program.  Depending on the response, more detailed information would be sent out at a later date.  The survey will remain open until midnight of Sunday, July 26th.  
Please click the link below to access the survey.  If you have already filled this out you do not need to fill it out again.

We know there are a lot of questions on which is better to use, Zoom or Meet.  Either can be used by RCSD Staff.  We will be coming out with recommended work flow using these for the upcoming school year and you will learn more on 8/5.
Below are some additional resources.
