Roseville Area Schools Foundation

The Roseville Area Schools Foundation supports equity and educational excellence within Roseville Area Schools by awarding grants to teachers and supporting programs from funds raised annually by the foundation. The foundation's focus areas are centered around eliminating opportunity gaps, college and career readiness, and social-emotional learning.

Teachers report back that helping them to access up-to-date resources and approaches in their classrooms greatly enriches students’ learning experiences, heightens their engagement in the material, and deepens their understanding of concepts.

The foundation seeks contributions from individuals, foundations, area businesses, and corporations.

Volunteer background checks need to be done every year. To inquire whether you already have a cleared volunteer background check on file, please contact Human Resources: hr@isd623.org or 651-635-1600.

If you are not contacted within 48 hours after submitting the background check form, you are clear to volunteer.

Thank you for your cooperation as we continue to maintain a safe and secure educational environment for our students.
