Principal's Message
Dear Roy Cloud Families,
Last weekend I had the pleasure of attending a showing of the Roy Cloud Spring Play, Annie Jr.! Our talented students have been practicing for months in preparation for the big show, and all of their hard work paid off and resulted in an amazing performance! Drama builds confidence, develops creativity, improves verbal and nonverbal communication, and encourages teamwork and collaboration. Thank you to all of the families and our PTO for making this opportunity possible for our students!
Thank you,
Kristy Jackson
Interim Principal

Summer Enrichment Program
You may have received an email invitation for your child to attend RCSD's Summer Enrichment Program. This year's summer enrichment program is not intervention-based, but rather Science, SEL, and project-based. Unduplicated students at Hoover, Taft, Garfield, and Roosevelt were given priority for this program. The summer enrichment program spaces have been completely filled by students from these schools. All families at the other RCSD schools received an invitation to be added to a waitlist and will be placed on a first come, first serve basis. If you apply for the waitlist, you will be notified if space is available for your child.
