Dear #RPSStrong Family,

Tonight's updates:

Retention Bonuses – I'm thrilled to share that retention bonuses for all full-time contract employees who returned this school year will be paid this Friday, September 29! Bonuses will be based on your full-time contract years of service with RPS, as noted below.

• 2-9 years: $1,000
• 10-19 years: $2,000
• 20-29 years: $3,000
• 30+ years: $4,000

Full-time contract employees will receive the retention bonus if their hire date is on or before September 15, 2021. Full-time contract employees who had RPS full-time contract years of service, left RPS, and returned to full-time contract employment will receive the bonus based on total years if their most recent hire date is on or before September 15, 2022.  If you have questions, please email benefits and compensation. Thank you!

School Immunizations & Wellness Wednesday – RPS Health Services will hold three school-based immunization clinics this week – tomorrow, September 27, from 10 am - 12 pm at Richmond Community HS and 1 - 3 pm at Open HS; and Thursday, September 28, from 9:30 am - 2:30 pm at Martin Luther King, Jr. MS. If you would like for your child to be vaccinated at one of these clinics, please return the completed consent form to your school nurse in English or Spanish. These immunizations are mandated by Virginia law so please make sure to take care of them ASAP.

Dear #RPSStrong Family,

Happy Friday! Tonight's updates:
