FIRST Day of School

I hope everyone has had a GREAT start to the school year. The cabinet and I have had the pleasure of visiting all of our schools yesterday. Needless to say, there is lots of great stuff taking place.  I had the privilege of visiting:  Emerson, JW North HS, University Heights MS, Highland, Highgrove, Castle View, Frank Augustus Miller MS, Educational Options Center, Poly HS, Pachappa, Sierra MS, and Mountain View. 

In the midst of budget meltdown and chaos, we need to remember what we in RUSD are really all about – Student LEARNING. Even on the first day, there is a clear focus on the learning of our students and making sure that they will be successful learners each day and throughout this year.

With the spirit of Innovation, staff is working on knowing every child by both their name and their specific instructional need(s). Yesterday was a great day and a great start to the school year. “Happy New Year” to all!

    Happy New Year! Lets make the forthcoming budget cuts have the least impact on the children of our district.

    I agree with you Mike - concerning money. Directing teachers' attention and focus on a highly structured initial math instrctional routine is free. It will yield a higher improvement in student achievement.

    What a fabulous beginning of the year. I must say that in spite of the budget decisions that had to be made,I am excited to be a part of a collective team dedicated to the success of every RUSD student.
