Dr. Kelly Monson and 43 Rockford University students in the Education pathway came back to RPS to welcome students and help support 14 schools on the first day of school. This event was coordinated over the summer between RPS and RU to allow education majors a chance to better experience what back to school looks like while also providing additional supports to our schools on a busy and sometimes chaotic morning. The following schools all had additional support provided by Rockford University students: Gregory, Haskell, Johnson, Lewis Lemon, West View, Froberg, Lathrop, Montessori, Constance Lane, Spring Creek, Brookview, Hillman, Conklin, Welsh, Kennedy, and Whitehead.

More than 450 students in grades 4-8 joined the RPS 205 Summer Sports Camps this year! The 4 weeks of camp created opportunities for our young students to try out all the 15 different sports offered at the high school level while developing and maintaining relationships with their future coaches. Thank you to the 150 high school coaches who were involved in leading the camps. We can't wait for next Summer!

Rockford Public Schools wants to ensure every school has an outstanding principal. A partnership between RPS 205 and Northern Illinois University creates a unique opportunity for our teachers to learn while leading in a residency master’s cohort. The program is selective, and admittance is granted to the most highly qualified candidates. The district pays the full tuition for the program. Candidates agree to remain in the district for three more years after completing their program. This cohort-based program improves academic & social-emotional learning outcomes from early childhood to post-secondary success in every school led by a partnership-prepared principal. Cohort 3 graduates from the 2-year program are: • Chris Berogan at Auburn High School • Diane Berogan - She did her residency at Constance Lane Elementary and is now the Assistant Principal at Lincoln Middle School. • Viviana Salinas at Jefferson High School • Ryan Miller from the STEAM Academy at Haskell. They are all now certified administrators. Congratulations to you all!
