Nothing says success like pizza with the principal! 🍕🎉 Our students earned this reward through respect, responsibility, and being safe. Way to represent our school!
Before we officially begin winter break, we want to take a moment to celebrate the amazing students we have at RPS! During their annual fundraising competitions, our high school students raised a combined $123,077.95 for local organizations! Thank you, students, for all your hard work and effort to invest back into our community.
Our students enjoyed great conversations, big smiles, laughs, and a few extra slices during today’s Pizza with the Principals!
We love celebrating students who are respectful, safe, and responsible. Keep up the amazing work, Jaguars ! #PizzaWithThePrincipals #StudentLeaders #WeAreJefferson

🦉 Science Fun in Ms. Sherman’s Class! 🦉
Our young scientists had an exciting hands-on lesson this week as they dissected owl pellets! Students carefully examined the pellets to discover what owls eat and learned about food chains and animal habitats. It was a fun (and fascinating!) way to explore the wonders of nature. Great job, explorers! 🌿🔍

After years of dedication, kindness, and tireless support, our beloved Office Manager, Stephanie , is retiring.
She has been the heart of our front office — greeting every child with a warm smile, supporting staff with grace and patience, and keeping our school running like a well-oiled machine. Her compassion, laughter, and steady presence have touched every corner of our school community.
From scraped knees to lost lunchboxes, early morning calls to late-day paperwork, she’s done it all with love.
