RPS families: This is a reminder that except for Longfellow Elementary, there is no school tomorrow, Friday, August 30. RPS is also closed on Monday, September 2, in observance of Labor Day. Enjoy the long weekend, and we will see you next Tuesday!


Results on the 2024 Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments (MCAs) indicate that RPS has reversed a multi-year decline in the percentage of students who score at the proficient level or above in math, science, and reading. Read more: https://www.rochesterschools.org/article/1736885


The students and staff finally made it through this week, with a new transportation schedule and new classes!
Thank you parents for having patience with RPS and Willow Creek staff.
First week of school pictures!




Today is the first day of school for elementary students, and we expect some delays in bus transportation, especially as our bus drivers learn the new route structure with the changeover from transporting elementary students home and turning around to pick up our secondary students.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we navigate this and continuously work to improve our processes.
Families using Transportation can download the First View app to see where their student's buses are. The district code for the app is M6QE.


8/26/24: Due to an excessive heat warning issued for this afternoon and evening, all outdoor athletic sports and activities are canceled. However, some coaches may still have indoor practice plans. Please check in with them for this information.


Have you visited www.RochesterSchools.org/referendum yet? Come learn about why our district is proposing a referendum to voters this November, how the "Ignite Student Learning" plan would support students, and how you can make your voice heard on Election Day.


Good afternoon parents, we want to clarify an important detail regarding Picture Day. If you receive and email from Lifetouch Portraits with a link to add Picture Day to your calendar, please do not add it, as the times listed are incorrect.
We apologize for any confusion this may have caused. Please note that Picture Day will take place during Meet the Teacher Schedule Pick-Up.
Thursday, August 22nd
3:30-6:30pm
Thank you for understanding!
