Dear MJJ Family,
Happy 2021!!!
As we continue into this virtual year of teaching and learning, We will continue to build upon and refine our proven foundation of good work, honored traditions, and continued excellence in education. We will continue to:
Embrace New Opportunities. ……Unlock Potential… Continue To Inspire Excellence.
We ask that you continue to guide and support your child’s virtual learning by ensuring that he/she:
Attends school daily and log in on time, which is 9:15 AM, ready for the day’s learning experience
- Completes assignments given by teachers
- Read daily to develop a love for reading and to improve literacy skills
- Shares virtual school experiences with you
- Informs you if he/she needs additional support in any area or subject
- Knows that you expect him/her to succeed during our virtual learning semester
During the course of the year, it is my hope that we will work together to provide the students of Miles Jones with the best possible opportunities in preparing them to be world-class leaders. As Principal, my virtual office hours are from 8:00-4:30 PM Monday-Friday. Please feel free to schedule an appointment to discuss any concerns, suggestions, or ideas to help make this an outstanding year.
The school instructional hours for K-2 students are 9:15-1:30 and students in grades 3-5 are 9:15-2:00. Be mindful that your student may have FLOAT or other activities directly following the end of the instructional day. Please check with your child's teacher to learn more.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Sonya Shaw, Principal

Miss Monique Evans has served with Miles Jones since 2019 and has hit the ground running! She works with students, staff, and parents both confidentially and with sincere concern. She participates on many committees in the school and desires the best for all. This is evident in the love and care she shows as she grooms our students for middle school success and guides our younger students in lessons in mindfulness and emotional awareness.
Congratulations to you, Miss Evans for a job well done!
Happy School Counselor's Week!

RPS Direct Update - February 26, 2021
Dear #RPSStrong Family, Happy Friday! Today was especially joyous for me, as I had the privilege of presiding over our first-ever Mid-Year Graduation for students from the 2020, 2019, and 2018 classes who have returned to earn their diplomas. These 25 young people have redefined what it means to persevere and we are immensely proud of them! The ceremony today is a result of more than a year's worth of work to find students who left RPS, re-engage them through new programs like Con Ganas (With Determination), and support them through every last obstacle. Please join me in thanking the RPS teachers, counselors, administrators, and support staff – along with the students' families! – for making today possible.

Dear #RPSStrong Family, I'm thrilled to share that we have a new Chief Operating Officer joining RPS on March 1! Alana Gonzalez has spent her entire career helping government agencies work more efficiently and more equitably. She's coming to us from New York, where she served as Executive Director of Community Reconstruction and Infrastructure for the Governor’s Office of Storm Recovery. In this role, she led over 300 recovery and resiliency projects for NY communities affected by Superstorm Sandy, Hurricane Irene, and Hurricane Lee. Ms. Gonzalez also held various roles, including Chief of Staff to the General Manager, at the New York City Housing Authority, which provides affordable housing to more than 400,000 low- to moderate-income New Yorkers.
