Reminder - No School Tomorrow for Students
There will be no school tomorrow, Friday, November 4, 2022, for all RPS students. It is a Professional Development Day for staff.
Superintendent Search Update
Members of the Board of Education for Ralston Public Schools (RPS) have selected McPherson & Jacobson, L.L.C., Executive Recruitment and Development, to assist in selecting candidates for the Board to interview for the District’s open superintendent position.
McPherson & Jacobson, L.L.C. is Asking for Your Feedback
There are two opportunities for you to provide input throughout the superintendent search process.
1) McPherson & Jacobson, L.L.C. will host an open “Community Input Forum” on November 14th, at 6:30 pm in the Ralston High School Theater. Mark your calendars! We hope to see you there.
2) An online “Community Input Survey” will be available on the District website (www.ralstonschools.org) from November 15th-22nd. It will allow any user to provide anonymous input on the skills and traits the next superintendent needs to possess and highlight the positives of the Ralston community and school district.
The same questions will be asked at the “Community Input Forum” and in the online “Community Input Survey.”
The survey will be available in English and Spanish.
Report Cards Available in R-Kids
