April 2019
Happy Thursday!
Please join us for our annual spring Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) Strategic Planning Meetings on Monday, April 22 and Monday, April 29 from 6:00-7:30 PM in the RHS Community Room. Each spring parents, students, teachers, administrators, community members and Board members join together to review data from the current school year and set the direction for the next year. This is a great opportunity for families to help steer our future course! Refreshments will be served.
Have a wonderful long weekend!

April Board Brief
Smart 911
Fond du Lac County Communications and Emergency Management is asking everyone to please sign up for a new system available in Fond du Lac County called Smart911. Smart911 allows individuals to create a Safety Profile for their household atwww.smart911.com or on the Smart911 App that includes any information they want 9-1-1 and responders to have in the event of an emergency. When an individual makes a 9-1-1 call, their Safety Profile is automatically displayed to the 9-1-1 call taker, allowing them to send the right responders to the right location with the right information. The Smart911 app provides greater access to the lifesaving benefits of Smart911 and targeted location-based alerts to all individuals. The Smart911 App is available on the Apple Store or Google Play. The information entered is only accessible when 911 is called from a phone number that is tied to a Smart911 profile and is only available to responders for a short time during the call. The information is maintained in a secure database and the information is not able to be queried, shared, or sold. For more information or questions, please contact Bobbi Hicken, Director of Communications and Emergency Management for Fond du Lac County 920-929-7647.
