Red Wing Public Schools ISD 256
Sept. 28, 2025
The Flight Path 2030 team would like to recognize English Language Learner teacher Bethany Jasin for receiving a fellowship from the Mark Cuban Foundation for the 2025-26 school year. The Mark Cuban Foundation Teacher Fellowship is a yearlong professional development program designed to empower high school educators — regardless of subject area — to learn about artificial intelligence, thoughtfully introduce it into their teaching, and serve as a teacher leader in their district.
We would also like to recognize the following RWPS educators for being accepted into the Mark Cuban Foundation Bootcamp this fall: Jill Rivard, Hiawatha Valley Adult Basic Education; Chris Burawa, English language arts; Bill Emery, industrial technology; Lisa Hanson, health; Cindy Hougo, science; Stacy Schultz, special education; and Janean Robert, science. Over the next 10 months, they will be advancing their foundational knowledge of artificial intelligence, develop practical implementation strategies, and participate in a national community of practice.
Students are responsible for loss and damage to their district-issued Chromebook, so families must pay for cracked or broken screens, spills, broken keys and more. There is a protection play to help with that, but enrollment is required by Sept. 30. The annual cost is $15 for one device and $30 for two of more devices. Enroll by clicking the button below.
Goodhue County Health & Human Services will offer student flu vaccination clinics through Homeland Health Oct. 6 and 7 at Red Wing Public Schools. Locations and times are 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Oct. 6 at Red Wing High School; 9:15-11:15 a.m. Oct. 7 at Twin Bluff Middle School; and noon to 1:45 p.m. Oct. 7 at Burnside Elementary School. If you are interested, sign your student up using the button below.
- Children and adults without health insurance may qualify to receive flu vaccination at no charge. A $20 donation per vaccine is requested, but this does not affect your ability to receive a vaccine.
- Homeland Health accepts the following insurances and will bill your health plan: Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, PrimeWest, America’s PPO, HealthPartners, South Country Health Care, Cigna Medica and United Healthcare.
- The cost for people who chose to pay privately is $45 for the standard flu shot and $50 for FluMist (if available).
