Care & Safety

Thank you for visiting the RPS Department of Safety and Security. We are dedicated to providing the highest quality academic curriculum and learning environment to all students. The achievement of this goal depends heavily on maintaining a safe and nurturing environment within our schools. Our highly trained Care and Safety Associates and other staff serves as a source of information, assistance and guidance to students, parents, teachers, and staff as well as a link to support services within the community. 

We believe safety directly impacts the effective learning environment that our district supports. It is our goal to maintain an environment that embraces success allowing students to achieve. We reach this goal by building strong relationships, promoting positive student behavior in and out of schools, working closely with the community, local law enforcement and emergency management officials.
