Roscommon Area Public Schools

Dear Families,

We’re sharing the attached infographic to provide clear information about the upcoming Non-Homestead Millage Renewal vote on May 5, 2026.

This proposal is a renewal of an existing millage, not a new tax, and would continue funding for school operations at current levels. By law, this millage applies only to non-homestead properties, such as businesses, rental properties, and second homes—not primary residences.

In Michigan, school funding is based on a state formula, and districts like ours rely on non-homestead property tax revenue to support day-to-day operations, including staffing, programs, and student services.

The infographic outlines key details about how this funding works and what it supports within our district.

If you have questions or would like more information, please visit rapsk12.net or call 989-275-6600.

Thank you for taking the time to stay informed.

Dear Families of 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Grade Students,

Tomorrow, April 9th, our 2nd–4th grade students will be traveling to the high school to attend the dress rehearsal of the RMS’s production of The Little Mermaid, Jr. Students will be at RHS from approximately 11:45–1:45 PM including travel time.

If your child will need to be picked up early, please contact your student's teacher or call the school office in the morning so we can make arrangements for them to remain at the elementary building.

Thank you!

Dear RAPS School Community,
As we begin planning for the 2026–2027 school year, we would like to share some important calendar information that has been finalized. In Michigan, local school districts align certain dates with the common calendar established by our Intermediate School District (COOR ISD). This ensures consistency for families and staff across the region. At this time, the following dates are confirmed and will not change:
Winter Break: December 23, 2026 through January 1, 2027
Spring Break: March 29 through April 5, 2027
We are sharing these dates now to assist families with advance planning. Additional details for the full school calendar—including the first and last day of school, professional development days, and other key dates—will be released once finalized.
Thank you for your continued support and partnership. We look forward to another successful school year ahead.
