Community Relations
Partnership with Parents
Our partnership with parents is very important to us. We are all on the same team: Working to achieve the best education we can for the youth in our schools. The Consolidated Programs office cooperates with the Roseville Adult School to provide two parent education programs, Parent Institute for Quality Education (PIQE, piqe.org) and Yes We Can!
Parent Institute for Quality Education (PIQE)
The Roseville Joint Union High School District has contracted with the Parent Institute for Quality Education (PIQE) three times to bring PIQE's high quality program to the district. PIQE provides a nine-week parent education institute that focuses on training parents on how to help their student succeed in school and to be accepted into college. The District has been able to capitalize on this enthusaism using PIQE as an introduction to Yes We Can, a district-created program to provide similar training tailored to our local circumstances.
Yes We Can!
Yes We Can! is a monthly parent education program with multiple goals: (1) To connect with the parents to provide an avenue of mutual communication, (2) to provide parent information and education, (3) to assist parents in helping their students be successful in high school, and (4) to provide parent education to assist parents with helping their students be prepared for success in college.
The meetings are free of charge and open to the public. For more information, contact Ted Herr, English Learner Coordinator at 786-0793 ext. 1364 or by email: therr@rjuhsd.us

Partnership with Other Governmental Agencies
City of Roseville
The City of Roseville has a strong, positive reputation with the people in the school district. We will look for areas of mutual interest to cooperate with the city.
City of Roseville Police Department
The Roseville Police Department staffs a Youth Services Officer on each of the comprehensive school sites. The officers have a solid reputation for the interest in youth and their ability to work with both youth and school staff. We have specifically benefited from their presence on campus and the resources and knowledge the officers have very willingly shared. We will look for areas of mutual interest to further develop this relationship.
City of Roseville Public Library
The Roseville Public Library system has worked well with the school district in the past. We will look for literacy promotion activities where the school and the library can match our interests for the benefit of the community.
Partnership with Ethnic Communities
Welcome
All community members should feel welcomed in all of our schools and offices.
Challenges
The biggest challenge for our relationships with outside groups is to make sure that all of our staff welcomes all students, regardless of their cultural heritage, ethnicity, gender, appearance or any other defining characteristic, actual or perceived.
We are also working to learn about the Hispanic community. We offer student support classes in Spanish (Parent Institute for Quality Education and Yes We Can!) in English and Spanish. Our attempts at offering the same courses in Russian have not succeeded due to poor turnout. Therefore, one of our challenges is community outreach with our Russian speaking families.
Relations with Significant Demographic Subgroups
Members of all demographic groups are welcome in most of our schools. When all are welcome in all schools, this web page will be updated.
