No clever zingers here to enrage the opposition. Just a simple, gut-wrenching request made with humility: please ban assault rifles. I probably shouldn’t say this, but I don’t know how to protect my 22,000 students from them. They scare the hell out of me. I’m begging you.
RPS schools & offices will open for students & staff with a two-hour delay tomorrow, Friday, January 21. Extended-Day programs will be held as usual. We'll continue to monitor conditions & provide updates as needed. Check RPS social media & website for updates. #WeAreRPS
Yes, we have a shorter day today, but lots of great things happening instructionally & facilities wise this morning. 2 smartboards are installed in KG, 2nd great Ss providing thoughtful and insightful questions in library, and 4th grade Ss unpacking complex text!@RPS_Schools
