Dear Parents and Guardians,
We thank you and your family for your partnership as we work together to educate the children in Roxana CUSD #1.
During the week of September 25, 2023, your child(ren) will be asked to take a brief survey, which will take 20-25 minutes to complete. The survey will ask students about their social-emotional competencies and well-being, and the support they feel in their educational environment.
Students in grades 3-12 will take this survey each year in the fall and spring to assess progress and to measure their growth in the areas that may include self-awareness, self-management, self-efficacy, grit, emotional regulation, sense of belonging, and growth mindset. The survey results will be used to identify and support social emotional learning, which will help us ensure that our instructional approach is supporting all facets of a student’s growth during their time in Roxana.
Parents and guardians may opt their child(ren) out of these surveys for the 2023-24 school year by completing this form prior to the assessment window. You will need to fill out this form for each child you wish to opt out.
If you have questions about the survey, please feel free to reach out to Steve Oertle, Assistant Superintendent via email at steve.oertle@rcusd.org or by phone at 618-254-7585.
Ms. Roentz's 4th grade class has been participating in a reading program called "Ruby the Reading Dog". Ruby is a certified therapy dog. She visits the students in Ms. Roentz's room on Mondays and Fridays to allow an opportunity to read to Ruby. The students find books at their reading level and get to teach Ruby about all sorts of topics. Ruby and her handler, Erica Proctor (Ms. Roentz's sister), specialize in Animal Assisted Intervention at schools, libraries, assisted living facilities, nursing homes, and medical facilities. Ruby loves school, especially the students and staff at Central!
Due to the forecast for inclement weather, Roxana School District will be closed tomorrow, Wednesday, January 25.
Central Intermediate school recently enjoyed an author visit from Vickie Rodgers, a former Central Intermediate student and Roxana High School graduate. She read her book aloud to our students. The book focuses on the character traits of compassion and empathy, specifically with older adults.
As a result of this visit we are preparing “sunshine bags” to be delivered to Bria nursing home. Take a moment to check out her book entitled “Ms. Ruby and the Gigi Squad”. It’s a good read!
