We are excited to welcome students back to class on Wednesday Jan. 8! Royse City ISD officials are monitoring weather forecasts for later this week. The district communicates with county and city officials on the potential impact of low temperatures and travel concerns. Any decision on a delay or closure will be made by 4:30 am and prior to bus routes. In some cases, decisions on delays and closures can be made the evening before the weather event. Royse City ISD Communications will use social media, district websites, broadcast media, texts, emails and voicemails to let you know of any alterations to school. Thank you for your patience through this winter weather possibility.

🎉 Join us as we celebrate #SchoolBoardAppreciationMonth by recognizing our board members for their dedication to fostering a strong community and working tirelessly towards a brighter future for our students. Thank you for your service to Royse City ISD! #RCISDJoy #RCISDcelebrates

Hello Ruth Cherry Families, We look forward to seeing everyone back on campus on Wednesday! Here is our January newsletter/Smore: https://secure.smore.com/n/tz35p Please check with your students to make sure that they still have a working pair of headphones at school (from school supply list). Many students in our upper grades have broken or lost theirs and will need a new pair for the spring. Mrs. Emily Hays Campus Principal

Please take some time to read through our Ruth Cherry Elementary campus happenings as we finish out the semester: https://secure.smore.com/n/0z71s

Last week we honored our incredible para-professionals at the annual brunch. This special tradition, inspired by the late Peggy Webb, celebrates those who provide invaluable support to our students and teachers. Our guests enjoyed a catered breakfast, shopped at a Holiday Bazaar pop-up shop, and were treated to a special performance by the Ruth Cherry Elementary Choir. Thank you para-professionals! Our campuses simply wouldn't be the same without you! #RCISDJoy #ParaProAppreciation

Our Ruth Cherry Elementary students worked hard to meet both their academic goals and their fundraiser goal this fall. One of their rewards was to see the principal kiss an animal. The students took a vote on what kind of animal it would be and the pig won! Mrs. Hays was so glad that the snake and cow were not the #1 choice but they came in at a close 2nd and 3rd. The pig that came for our campus visit is one of our very own Ruth Cherry students piglets!

Mark your calendars! Our first annual Community Holiday Reception is coming up! 🗓️ December 10th, 4:30-6:00 PM 📍 Royse City ISD Event Center Parking will be available in front of the Event Center located at 670 South FM 2642. Join us for an evening of holiday cheer, delicious treats, and heartwarming carols. This come-and-go- event will feature students caroling and delicious treats crafted by the talented students from the RCHS Big Bark Bistro. Let's make this a new tradition for our community!

Tomorrow December 3rd, Royse City ISD joins the Greenville Police Department and community in wearing BLUE to honor the life of Officer Cooper Dawson. Let's come together as a community to remember and honor his sacrifice. #BlueForCooper #RoyseCityISD
