We are proud of our vibrant school communities! Building belonging and connection is a key RPS Value. With 87 languages spoken by our students, we have much to celebrate. Embracing these perspectives creates an environment where every student feels at home and ready to learn. Learn more about our values at www.rochesterschools.org/about.

BVE chess club is cancelled this week due to parent/teacher conferences and the book fair scheduled for Thursday afternoon. (The chess club hosted by Community Education is still scheduled as usual).

Meet Sonya! She's here to pull back the curtain and help you lead the way in your students’ learning journey. Through our Caregiver and Parent Empowerment (CAPE) virtual courses, Sonya provides the roadmap you need to support your elementary student and master the "ins and outs" of our District.
