This week, we've been celebrating the incredible Mrs. Donnell and Ms. Gregory. From offering a helping hand to providing a listening ear, they make our school a brighter, kinder place every single day.
Our leadership team said it best:
"Mrs. Donnell and Ms. Gregory lead with such empathy and care. Because of them, our students have someone who listens, believes in them, and never gives up on them. Bobby Summers is a stronger campus because of their hearts and work." — Mr. Mork
"You two are absolute rockstars! We love seeing how you go above and beyond to make sure every kid feels safe, supported, and happy here. Thanks for always having their backs and pouring so much heart into what you do!" — Mr. Armstrong
Thank you, Mrs. Donnell and Ms. Gregory, for all you do for our students and our staff. We are so lucky to have you! 🌟🍎 #experienceRCISD #NSCW26

RCISD Safety Update: School Closure for Thursday
While today’s sunshine was a welcome sight, road conditions across our area remain unsafe in several rural locations, as well as the majority of our campus parking lots and bus drop-off areas. After careful assessment of all impacted areas, Royse City ISD will be closed tomorrow (1/29/26).
Our decision is based on concerns for bus routes that include secondary roads (neighborhood streets, bridges, and shaded areas) where melting has been minimal, as well as the safety of our student and parent drivers who may encounter icy or hazardous conditions during the morning commute and drop-off. Bus lanes and parking lots remain areas that have yet to thaw. Tomorrow’s forecast should provide us with the opportunity to address these spaces, as well as additional time for some of our less-traveled roadways to clear of ice.
As with the previous snow days this week, UIL district after-school activities for Thursday will be communicated by the athletics department in coordination with other districts in the area. We are looking forward to cheering on our Bulldogs very soon!
The safety of our students and staff is always our top priority, and we appreciate your understanding and patience as conditions continue to improve. We will keep families informed, and look forward to having students back on campuses as soon as it is safe to do so.
