Dear RCS Community,

Please be advised that with the extended “Stay Home, Stay Safe” directive from the governor, any events hosted by the RCS Foundation that are scheduled in March, April and May have been postponed.

Our annual treasured traditions are dear to our hearts! Our events bring the community together, and most importantly, support the students of Rochester Community Schools!

We do not intend to cancel the events.

We are working very closely with the designated organizers, vendors and city officials to schedule new dates in 2020. All admissions and registration costs will transfer to the new date.

If any fundraising event requires cancellation, due to circumstances beyond our control, your tax-deductible contribution will still be donated to support the students of RCS social and emotional incentives or a full refund can be issued.

During these unprecedented times, the district is working tirelessly to stay connected and make sure tools and resources are readily accessible for all. RCS will continue providing social-emotional wellness and trauma resiliency support following the pandemic will prepare students and staff for re-entry into schools. We know there will be an impact on mental health.

Although the RCS Foundation event is postponed, your partnership and continued support is still needed to help the district provide our students with the best resources. Please visit “How We Can Help” for more opportunities to support our staff and students!

Thank you for your flexibility, patience, and understanding as we continue to do our best to support and do great things for our students. We will update you as information becomes available.

If you have additional questions or want to learn more about other opportunities to help, please feel free to email Joann Beydoun at jbeydoun@rochester.k12.mi.us.

We hope to see you safe and healthy soon!  #StayHome #StayStafe #RCSpride #RCSFcares
