Jayem Family,
Welcome to the official start to the 20-21 school year! This time of year brings on so much excitement! New beginnings, a fresh start, and opportunities for growth! This year is no different. We may be starting the year in an unconventional way, but it is still a start!
We know that we are trend setters! The Joy and Pride leads the way! So as we embrace our new virtual year, let's do it with:
Pride - Knowing who we are
Love - Why we do this work
Joy - Learning a new way of being
Patience - With ourselves and each other
Hope - Meeting our students where they are
Inspiration - What guides us to be amazing
Transformation - Never falling back into mediocracy
Excellence - Exceeding Expectations
Together we are Justices
and
Excellence is loading...
Jayem, let's get ready!
We will Exceed Expectations with Excellence!
We love you and there's nothing you can do about it!
Excellence is Loading.....

RPS Direct Update - November 24, 2020 (PM)
Dear #RPSStrong Family, Well, I said "flood" my inbox with shout outs – and flood you did! Thank you for sharing more than 100 beautiful messages of appreciation for our teachers, administrators, support staff, partners, families, and students. (I encourage you to read all the way to the end, as the last one is guaranteed to put a smile on your face.) I can't express how much these words of support, encouragement, and gratitude mean to the recipients. On behalf of RPS, thank you to everyone who wrote in! Before I sign off for the holiday break, I also want to express my profound gratitude to our principals, teachers, and support staff. Since March 13, you have delivered more than 2 million meals, purchased and distributed over 20,000 Chromebooks, facilitated more than 30,000 community circles, and literally reinvented what it means to be a teacher – all with boundless love for our students and families. In short, you have demonstrated that RPS is capable of doing truly extraordinary things. This Thanksgiving, I'm grateful for you. With the deepest appreciation, Jason

RPS Direct Update - November 24, 2020
Dear #RPS Strong Family, I'm reaching out with this special RPS Direct to share that three staff members and two students have tested positive for COVID-19. The staff are from the Belt Boulevard Transportation Office (last there on 11-23), Armstrong High School (last there on 11-17), and the Academic Office in City Hall (last there in October). The student cases are from Ginter Park Elementary School and Thomas Jefferson High School (neither has been on campus this year). We encourage everyone to monitor their symptoms and reach out to their primary care provider if they have any concerns. They can also contact the Richmond City Health District’s COVID-19 hotline at (804) 205-3501. Our number one priority remains the health and safety of our students, staff, and families. We will continue to work in close collaboration with RCHD to ensure the well-being of the entire RPS community. If you have any questions, as always, please don't hesitate to contact me. Best, Jason
