Consolidation and Student Experience

How will not having a school south of I-696 impact families and enrollment?

Green Elementary will remain open south of I-696, and Steenland is just north of I-696. Our school district boundaries range from 10 Mile Road to 14 Mile Road, and this plan ensures there are schools positioned to minimize bus travel time.

Why did the school district choose to move all students to Roseville Middle School?

Roseville Middle School was built for more than 1,200 students and has the space to comfortably accommodate all middle school students and programs.

How would consolidation at Roseville Middle School affect class sizes?

Teachers from Eastland will transfer to Roseville Middle School to help maintain appropriate class sizes. Currently, Eastland has uneven class sizes, ranging from nearly 40 students to as few as 15. Combining schools will balance those numbers and improve scheduling. In addition, teachers and students will no longer have to travel between schools for classes or programs, freeing up staff time for lesson planning, parent communication, and collaboration.

How would consolidation at Roseville Middle School improve student safety?

The combined middle school will have a full-time School Liaison Officer, a security team similar to the high school, and a new monitoring room connected to our camera system.

Will Roseville Middle School be rebranded?

Yes. We want this merger to represent a fresh start for all Roseville students. The new middle school will have updated colors, a new logo, and a new name. The building’s exterior will also be updated to reflect the new identity, ensuring Eastland students feel included in the change.
