A quick note from the principal's desk...

Good Afternoon RPI Families,


Welcome back! Whether you are learning virtually or coming back to the building, we are ready and excited to get back to school and working with you and your students. I trust that you were able to spend some time over the past 2 weeks connecting with your family and staying safe!


If you have young learners at home or know others that do, I wanted to make sure everyone is aware of an exciting new educational channel that launches tomorrow that is sponsored by Detroit Public Television (A PBS station) called the Michigan Learning Channel. This is being broadcast locally by WGVU and if you have over the air television it is on channel 35.6 or is available online at any point at https://www.michiganlearning.org/


Click Here to learn more about the Michigan Learning Channel.


Look for more information to come out within the next week or so detailing our next steps for second semester. We have a good plan but want to solidify it this week and anticipate your questions so that our communication is as detailed as possible. Stay tuned.


Lastly, if anyone in your family has tested positive for COVID-19 or has symptoms, please let us know ASAP!


Please reach out should you need anything!


Have a great week everybody! Go Rockets!


Yours in Rocket Pride,


Scott Panozzo, Principal

The P2 Post

This weeks character strength is: OPTIMISM


What a great way to start this new year. After a long 2020, we are likely excited to forget everything that didn't happen and are looking forward (optimistically) to this year. Start this year out right and chat with your kids about how important optimism is in our daily lives!


Here's a great video on optimism from the creators of the Life Is Good Company!


I hope you take some time to use the Family Resources this week. Information below:
