Principal Appreciation Day: This annual recognition was first approved by Illinois' Governor in 1990. We took pictures of our principals at our 41 schools & asked students to draw them for us. Here are some of their works of art. Thank you all RPS 205 Principals!

To celebrate National School Lunch Week, RPS 205 is holding a contest to see who can make the most creative chicken sandwich. The students who create winning chicken sandwiches will win an iPad and their sandwiches will be featured on the menu in the Spring Semester! Please turn in your work of art to the kitchen team in your school's cafeteria between October 14-18. We can't wait to see the delicious combinations you draw up!


This week, our attendance percentage increased by .5%, great job Lane family! We are still striving for our goal of 93%, I know we can do it!
347 students had perfect attendance during this particular week! Thank you for ensuring they are present and ready to learn each day. This commitment is truly appreciated and plays a vital role in their academic success.
Let's work together to motivate our students and remind them of the importance of being present in school. Your child's learning and growth are our top priorities, and regular attendance is a crucial factor in their academic success.
We can do this, Lane!

Once a week, community volunteers read one-on-one with second graders for as little as one hour per week at the elementary school of their choice. The program runs through the end of May.

Both the school district & local law enforcement are aware of a generic Snapchat social media post that's making threats against schools. This posting has appeared in multiple states. Law enforcement is actively investigating to determine the origination of this source. Currently, it's deemed that the threat isn't credible, and it's not specifically targeting RPS 205 schools. Safety is our number one priority, and we take all threats seriously.

We hope to see you for Open House today from 3:00-5:00! Love you, Lane!
