Gratitude for PurposeFull Families
Family PurposeFull Pursuit: Our Thankful Things:
What are the everyday things you’re grateful for that you might tend to take for granted like running water, electricity, or a washer and dryer? List those things at the dinner table to see how many thankful things your family actually has. See who can come up with the most “basic” thing, no matter how silly, and get creative with why we appreciate those very small items in our life! Over the course of the meal, brainstorm ways that you might more intentionally show Gratitude for those gifts.

Supporting Your Student Through Grief & Loss
Virtual Workshop,Thursday, November 18th from 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm: Supporting Your Student Through Grief & Loss

Nutrition Services- Educational Benefits Income Form
We need your help to ensure adequate funding for our schools and students. The Rocklin Unified School District (RUSD) now offers families simple, easy, and online access to complete the Education Benefits Income Form. When all families submit the form, RUSD can receive the maximum state funding and better meet each school’s and student’s needs in order to leverage additional services for all students. Without everyone's participation, schools may not receive all of the funding they are entitled to from the state, which would result in fewer services for our students and fewer tax dollars returning to our local community benefiting our students.
Funding supports services for students, families and staff, including the following:
Mental health and wellness services
Middle and high school counseling
Full-day Kindergarten
Staff and parent education
Academic Intervention programs and tutoring
Technology for students
English learner and translation services
College & Career preparation
Supports for Foster Youth and Homeless Students
All families are asked to complete the Education Benefits Income Form as soon as possible, but no later than Monday, October 31, 2021. All information is completely confidential and will not be shared with any other organization or entity. Participation is critical to ensure our funding levels are not decreased for the current and future years. We can all take a couple of minutes to help ensure that RUSD receives the funding our students deserve. By completing the form, our students stand the chance of receiving valuable resources instead of having those funds go elsewhere. For the 2021-2022 school year and moving forward, this new online submission process will only take a few minutes to complete. Parents click here or visit RocklinUSD.org for easy access and submission.
Rocklin Unified respectfully requests that all families take a few minutes to complete the form.
