Hello RSD Families,
Due to the Suddenlink outage, RSD phones are down. This is a regional issue, and we will update when phones are back up.
October 17th - 21st is National School Bus Safety and National Safe Schools week!
Did you know RSD buses transport around 3,000 students every day and cover over 99 square miles?
RSD bus drivers and transportation staff, thank you for all you do!

All RSD schools will be closed for student instruction on Monday, October 31st for staff professional development. Please begin making plans for your child.
A group of RSD students, parents, and staff members discussed and collaborated on what the “profile of an RSD graduate” should be with facilitator Roz Keck.
This work will continue throughout the year with input from varying community members and stakeholders.
Thank you to Roz Keck and the RSD parents, students, and staff for your time & collaboration today!
