Behind the Scenes

Last week the College & Career Readiness department hosted our second annual Balloon Blitz, a robotics competition involving RPS 205 high school students.

Rockford Public Schools Diversity, Equity & Inclusion team had the pleasure of visiting Roosevelt Community Education Center this fall.

Nearly 2,000 ninth grade students visited the Indoor Sports Center at Mercyhealth Sportscore Two to meet with over 100 businesses representing different careers.

Lewis Lemon Elementary School welcomed scholars and their families to kick off the new school year!

A group of RPS 205 parent educators – Gina Beaver, Rea Jones and Kathy Comella – joined me to attest to the work and the challenges of being a home visitor.

Students in the pathway take a class called Virtual Enterprise International (VEI), which allows them to participate in running a virtual business. One of the first things they learn is how to make a successful elevator pitch.

We’re looking for volunteers to help RPS 205 freshmen make an informed decision on their College and Career Academy selection for their sophomore school year.

The RPS 205 communications team submitted eight award entries for consideration to the National School Public Relations Association and earned a clean sweep, with top honors on all eight entries.
