the RAMPAGE Volume 29 Number 5 rockford Public Schools June 2012 Message to the Class of 2012 … On behalf of the Rockford Public Schools Board of Education, employees, and Rockford area community, congratulations to our graduating seniors from Rockford High School, River Valley Academy, and Adult Education. You have reached a very important milestone in your lives, and we are proud of your accomplishments. While there is much to celebrate this time of year, let us take time to remember the staff and students we have lost over the years. May you carry precious memories as you embark on a new chapter in your life. I encourage you to use your Rockford High School diploma as a springboard to further educational opportunities that will prepare you for a quality life tomorrow and in the future. Albert Einstein is quoted as saying that learning begins at birth and should not end until death. How true that is! Especially when today’s good jobs require more specialized training and education. Combine that fact with the potential of fewer jobs, and the competition has become intense. Dr. Michael Shibler You have a great foundation from which to build, and I encourage you to take advantage of every opportunity that comes your way. Those who choose to “tread water” will eventually lose the energy to move forward or, worse, drown. I encourage you to keep moving forward and improving yourself and the people who are a part of your living and working environment.

Your mountain is waiting. So...get on your way!” I see this mantra embedded in the “Rockford Ram Culture” through its inspiring teachers, motivational administrators, and through all the great staff members, parents, coaches, and volunteers. The transportation department believes in obtaining this level of positivity and enthusiasm as well, because each department is an essential aspect of the greater Rockford Schools family. As we prepare for yet another school year, I can’t help but reflect on how quickly technology changes to enable us to share correct information. Over the years, we have traversed various avenues on our quest to inform district families of their bussing schedules. The one road block we encounter each year is publishing information that will remain current beyond the printing deadline. This year the student population will be able to access their bussing information through RPS Family Access. We will not be sending out the yearly transportation postcards. Through trial and error we have learned that from the time these cards are printed and sent, to the first day of school, our routes will change daily. These changes could be very minor, or a complete re-write of entire routes. The changes might be due to students moving in or out of a neighborhood (or district), to simply a change in the bus number. Unexpected changes can cause major stress among parents and district staff on the first day of school. By logging into your Family Access account and viewing the live data, you will be well informed of any change to your student’s bussing schedule. As always, if there is ever a question or concern I would encourage you to call the transportation department. We are currently in the process of updating the routes for the 2012-13 school year. All students are routed to and from their home address unless we have information concerning day care or non-custodial parent locations within our district. We expect parents to update this information on a yearly basis to alleviate any confusion once school starts in the fall. It is also important to remember that we cannot transport students to after school employment, a dentist appointment, or any other non-school function. The routes are very closely timed as are the number of students assigned to each bus. Together, these two factors do not allow for changing schedules. We look forward to the challenges that each new school year holds. To orchestrate the numerous bus routes at all the various levels, as well as the hundreds of trips to sporting events and field trips, can be a balancing act. We, at the transportation department, appreciate your understanding as we utilize the new technology that allows us to be efficient and effective in our quest to serve. “You’ll get mixed up, of course, as you already know. You’ll get mixed up with many strange birds as you go. So be sure when you step, step with care and great tact, and remember that Life’s a Great Balancing Act. Just never forget to be dexterous and deft. And never mix up your right foot with your left.” ― Dr. Seuss Jacquie Fase Director of Transportation 616.863.6328 2012 Deb Chamberlin Scholarship Winners The Deb Chamberlin Scholarship Award is an annual scholarship awarded to two River Valley Academy graduates. The awards are for $1,000 to be used toward post-secondary school training or college. The scholarship is named in memory of Deb Chamberlin, a longtime member of the Rockford Public Schools Board of Education. Deb held a special place for River Valley Academy in her heart and was a strong advocate for the students. She worked tirelessly for River Valley students and the strength of the program today is a testimony to the value of her support. River Valley Academy and Rockford Public Schools are proud to announce the recipients of the awards for 2012. Jessica J. Rothwell and Nicholas A. Mullin were selected for this honor based on academic achievement, letters of recommendation, and a student essay. Essays cover a variety of topics, including plans for future education, specific adversity faced by the student, community service, leadership, and evidence of a strong senior year. Scholarships are awarded at the River Valley Academy graduation ceremony. huNter SafetY Students age 11 and older are invited to attend hunter safety classes to earn the required certificate for a hunting license.
