Calling all RPS Middle School parents and students! Rochester Public Schools Community Education is partnering with the Search Institute to better understand middle school students' and parents' interests and needs around after-school activities. We are seeking parents of students who have and have not participated in afterschool activities to participate in focus groups. Focus groups will take place virtually during the evenings of June 24-27 and last for one hour. Participating parents will receive a $40 gift card from Search Institute for their time and insights.
