Ever since the horrific school shooting in Georgia, we’ve seen an uptick in the number of social media postings and Gaggle alerts (which we get when certain key terms are written using our Chromebooks) about potential threats in our schools. I want the RPS community to know that we investigate every single one of these cases and refer the most serious ones to the Richmond Police Department.

You’ll have to forgive me, but I’m going to nerd out about reading today. “Wait,” you might be thinking, “Weren’t you a math teacher?” Indeed, I was. And I have the math jokes to prove it. (As I shared with some J.L. Francis students last week: Which shape works the hardest? The TRY-angle.

I hope you had a chance to enjoy the beautiful weather yesterday, and got some rest over the long holiday weekend. This morning, I’ll be at Cardinal ES to welcome students back to school. Please join me in thanking the RPS Operations Team, our contractor partners, and, of course, the Cardinal staff for pulling together to get the school back in shape in, well, lightning speed!
