All RPS 205 schools & buildings are closed today in observance of the federal holiday.
September is Attendance Awareness Month! Every day at school gives students opportunities to learn, build friendships, connect with caring adults & discover what they're capable of. Throughout the month, we’ll be sharing why attendance matters because every student brings something important to our schools.
