Grant-Funded Field Trips to Blue Line Arts and Roseville Utility Exploration CenterEach field trip's mileage and transportation cost are detailed in the Field Trip Mileage and Cost Spreadsheet. When Roseville High School provides the transportation, these costs will be fully covered by the grant.
However, in instances where Roseville High School cannot accommodate the trip schedule, schools may opt to outsource transportation. Please note that any additional costs incurred due to outsourcing will need to be covered by the school site. An estimated cost is always sent to the site’s clerical staff for review.

A new AI-driven threat is targeting Gmail's 2.5 billion users. Here's what you need to know to stay safe:
Be Cautious of Account Recovery Notifications
If you get an unexpected account recovery alert, don’t respond right away or click any links. Instead, open your browser and go directly to your account to check your security settings. This ensures you’re not reacting to a scam.
Beware of Fake Google Support Calls
Scammers are now using AI to make their calls sound more realistic, pretending to be from Google. Keep in mind, Google will never call you about your account security. If you get an unexpected call or email telling you to act quickly, it’s probably a scam.
Never Share Account Information Over the Phone
Scammers may use partial account details to sound legitimate. Avoid giving out passwords or approving account changes during unsolicited calls.
Verify Through Official Channels
If you're worried about your account security, reach out to Technology Services. We are the only ones who can make changes to your rcsdk8.org account. Google will never contact you directly about it.
Strengthen Your Account Security
Consider signing up for Google’s Advanced Protection Program, which now includes passkeys to give your account extra security.
By staying informed and cautious, you can reduce the risk of falling victim to this scam. Always prioritize security and error on the side of caution.
