Our teachers go above and beyond every day to support, inspire, and care for our students. If you’d like to join us in showing gratitude, a kind note, email, or small gesture can go a long way.
Please join us for our Kindergarten through 2nd grade Publishing Party on Thursday, May 21 at 9:00 am.
For more information on the Publishing Party please click the header.
Summer school runs June 8–July 9 (Mon–Thurs), is free for invited RPS students only, and registration is completed through a ParentSquare invitation with a QR code!
As a reminder, tomorrow, April 21, all schools will be virtual due to the statewide special election. PK-5 will be asynchronous.
