Third grade ended our Light & Sound unit with an Escape Room. Students had to listen carefully to guess the pitch, guess the sound, read secret messages with mirrors, use magnifying glasses, and read with invisible ink. Such a fun way to wrap up all that they had learned!

Kindergarten spent the last few weeks learning all about plants. We learned about the plant parts, the different jobs of the plant parts, different types of trees and their seasons and how plants are connected to people.

We are excited to share that the 2025-2026 school year calendar was approved by the school board on Tuesday night. It includes several important updates that reflect our commitment to aligning with neighboring districts and enhancing the overall learning experience for our students. Key Changes : Earlier Start Date: The school year will begin earlier in August. This adjustment is possible because all RPS 205 schools are equipped with air conditioning, ensuring a comfortable learning environment during warmer months. Fall Break: We will continue to offer a full week off for Fall Break, giving families and staff time to recharge. First Semester Ends Before Winter Break: High School students will complete their first semester before Winter Break, allowing for a true break without pending exams or projects. School Year Ends Before Memorial Day: The last day of school will occur before Memorial Day, providing families an earlier start to summer vacation. The 2025-2026 calendar can be viewed here on the Calendar page on rps205.com: https://5il.co/33ras
