      Greetings Fox Family!

      I can’t believe this is the last weekly update of the 20-21 school year!  

      I hope that you are feeling a sense of accomplishment for you and your family.  This past year (and a half) has definitely not been easy, but we ARE coming out of it.  I am proud of our students for learning how to learn on a computer.  I am proud of our teachers for never giving up on the routines, learning, and working so hard to make connections.  I am proud of all caregivers for making this work for your family!  This is a year we will NEVER forget!

      I will be communicating this summer/fall through the new REMIND app.---you should already be receiving some RPS communication through that platform.  

      Mark your calendars for:

      Sept. 2nd-K and New Student Orientation/Open House-4-6pm details TBA

      Sept. 8th-FIRST DAY of SCHOOL!!!!

      Here is our final read aloud for school year: Outside, Inside by LeYuen Pham.

      Have a wonderful summer!

    • RPS Direct Update - June 21, 2021

      Dear #RPSStrong Family, My apologies for coming to you later than usual tonight – we just wrapped up John Marshall's graduation ceremony at The Diamond! That was our third one of the day: this morning was Huguenot HS and this afternoon was Open HS. All three were all absolutely fantastic (see below for some pix of our valedictorians). Big shout out to Principal Gilstrap, Principal Carleton, Principal Murray, and our Chief Schools Officer, Harry Hughes, for planning and executing beautiful ceremonies! And, of course, congratulations to our amazing, pandemic-defying graduates.
