Continued Delays In Federal Funding

Dear Roberto CSD families,

Due to the Federal Government refusing the release of federal funding to our district, even following the Supreme Court's order to release funding, we still have yet to receive any funding. Further, the plans we made to reopen sports for the Spring and Summer season are again put on hold until we can get the funding. We don't expect to have the funding any time soon and are working at alternative funding to ensure we can continue to provide our students with fun events, and sports.  

Flood Season

Dear RCSD Families,

The Roberto Central School District is preparing for flood-related closings as our State's flood season begins. We are also creating an emergency plan for other inclement weather. The district will provide updates as the storm season progresses and will make necessary calls to families at least 24 hours prior to expected major flooding. Please check your local news stations for school closure updates.

The Roberto CEntral School District Food Drive Is On!

Dear Roberto Central School District families,

On November 5, 2025, the Roberto Central School District began collecting food for the Roberto CSD Food Drive, which aims to provide low income families with the food they need to thrive. The food drive drop off is at the high school located at 1804 Lovers Ln, New Shire, 11224. The food drive is open for donations from 8am until 4pm Monday thru Friday. 

Statement On Upcoming LGBTQ Material Bans In Schools

Dear Roberto Central School District families,

As you are aware, President Jay Laylin signed Executive Orders 300.378 and 300.379, that effects funding to educational institutions that continue to support the LGBTQ community, and distribution of related materials. On October 1, the Federal government was set to pull funding from hundreds of schools nationwide, but that was pushed to October 8, 2025. 

As a school district, and one built to foster our youth, and prepare them for adulthood, we announce that our district will lose federal funding, because 'we as a school community,' will reject any rhetoric that discriminates against any student, staff member or employee.' 

"We are going to continue to respect the rights and identity of our LGBTQ community students and that will not change. We will find other ways to fund our district, but we will not give up protecting the rights of our students who identify with the LGBTQ community. This will be a challenge, but we will protect our vulnerable students."

School materials will reflect the values and needs of that group and we will not be removing books related to the LGBTQ community from our district libraries and media centers. We will not discriminate against anyone, at any time.

Thanks,

Joe Smith

Welcome Back To The 2025-26 School Year

Dear Roberto CSD Families,

I would like to be the first to welcome you all back to another incredible school year. This year, we as a district look forward to returning to instruction that both encompasses academic progress while keeping the year fun an exciting. As I prepare to enter by third year as this district's superintendent, I look forward to the memories that will be made throughout the year and our three schools. We have several exciting events that will take place this year.

Parents, as we prepare for students to return to school, we have several important messages for you. The first being to update all emergency contact details for all students who are enrolled in school at Roberto Central School District. The second part, is to ensure that all students have their medical records and vaccination records filed with their respective school nurse's office. 

Thirdly, and finally, we would like to welcome two of our newest employees, Roberto Middle School Ashley Drumden and Roberto High School Gym Teacher Gina Hackman. These two join our district at a very exciting time for students and staff alike. 

During the school year, we will see our Summer Capital project continue throughout the school year, including the continuation of construction on the High School's new gym and additional classrooms. We look forward to workign with you all and we hope you enjoyed your summer vacation. Welcome back!

Summer Capital Project Updates

During the summer of the 2024-2025 school year, work will continue throughout the summer on the additions to the High School as well as the start of work expanding the Middle school parking lots. To see the full plans for the 2024-2025 capital project, click here.

As of now, the High School's traffic patterns will change for now. The High School student parking area will be closed at the far back end of the parking lot towards the bus loop. This area is coned off and no vehicles should be parked in these areas. This is to allow construction workers to work on the building. 

The middle school parking lot will be extended and the work to complete that will be done over the summer and into early fall. More details will be announced at a later date.
