Rockdale ISD school

It definitely seems like yesterday that the RISD was one of the privileged school districts to receive the 5 year ACE Grant that could fund our after school programs on all campuses. This grant was the beginning of what is now well known as the Rockdale iTigers ACE After School Program. We have been very fortunate for the last 5 years to have this program as a part of our school district. This week Denice Doss has information regarding upcoming iTigers Summer Activities, and hopefully, we will also receive some great news about the program's grant renewal. As the regular school year is winding down the iTigers ACE Program is gearing up for summer activities. Our summer school and camps will extend from June 6-June 30, Monday-Thursday, from 8:00 am to 12:50 pm. The coordinators are planning on some great events for summer that will help our students not only have fun but stay busy with enrichment activities. One of our activities that definitely interest the high school students is Drivers' Education. The grant pays for $170 for RHS students with the student paying $220.00. We will have a meeting about Drivers' Education in May for all the parents to give you an idea of what is expected, the rules, etc. During the month of June at the high school we have several field trips planned, regular swimming, and a host of activities. Also if your child needs credit recovery we will also have that available. Have your student sign up in the office if they are coming to summer school-especially if they will need a bus. Junior High and High School summer school/camps will meet at the High School and Elementary/Intermediate summer school will meet at the Elementary School . Call your child's school for more details on summer school and camps. This is year 5 (and the last year of this grant cycle) of this ACE iTigers program and we will find out in the summer if the grant has been renewed. The iTigers program makes such a difference in our students' lives and we are hopeful that the program will continue. We will be looking forward to the announcement this summer.
