Every week that goes by – if not every day – we learn more about the steps we need to take to keep our schools both safe and open amidst the continuing COVID pandemic. This memo outlines a number of adjustments to our Safe and Open Schools Plan that incorporate lessons we have learned in Rochester and evidence and guidance from experts and schools outside our district.
Rochester Public Schools will be moving temporarily to Distance Learning beginning on Tuesday, January 18 through Friday, January 28.
Rochester Public Schools is continuing to develop our strategic plan between September 1, 2021, and April 1, 2022. This full strategic plan will guide the work of the District for three school years, from 2022 through 2025.
RPS School Board’s Community Engagement Committee invites district stakeholders--students, parents and other caregivers of our students, business and property owners--to join in providing feedback to the Board about topics of interest through an online input session on January 20, 7:00 - 8:00 P.M.
