We are sending out a survey next week to ask students, staff and parents what approach we should take to smartphones in Rochester schools. Our pilot of “Away for the Day” at three middle schools this year has been largely successful. Should we expand that approach to all schools?

Ryan Gosling has nothing on my friend from Gibbs Elementary when it comes to rocking the pink.
I’ve been shadowing a selection of our amazing Education Support Professionals this year to better understand the complex and critical work they do with our students. Today I was with Julie Gardner at Gibbs Elementary and once again I was incredibly impressed. Thank you ESPs!!!
Students in our awesome Deaf and Hard of Hearing program share their aspirations for the future at a breakfast this morning. Love their top job choice!!!
Chilly weather but warm environments at the @MnNaacp rally for justice and the Lincoln school carnival this morning.
I am continually amazed at how Rochester teachers turn their classrooms into wonderlands for kids.
This evening I met a therapy dog at the Century High School family night and then heard a great 6th grade orchestra at Kellogg Middle School. The dog was awesome but the middle school musicians were even better.
I loved spending time in Mr. Brown’s class at Gage Elementary today. Among other good things, I heard a great song and saw a cool video that the students made about leaving their legacy at Gage & beyond. I’m still energized by the visit even though it’s time for me to go to bed!
Data from the new MN Principals Survey: 94% of respondents agreed or somewhat agreed that student mental health challenges pose a major barrier to learning at their schools — and yet only 45% said they had adequate resources for students who need support. startribune.com/the-minnesota-…
We're pleased to announce Mona Perkins as the school district’s new chief academic officer! As chief academic officer, Perkins will oversee the Office of Academics and lead key elements of Rochester Public Schools’ academic agenda. Read more: rochesterschools.org/article/1553565
Rochester Public Schools' robotics team heads to the world competition!!! postbulletin.com/news/local/roc…
A picture has been shared around Rochester of an evil racist term that was made with red cups stuck into the fence across the freeway near Century HS early this morning. Thankfully, the word was taken down quickly, but the fact that it was there shows how much work we have to do.
Today is a good day for art in @RPS535: painting the murals at John Marshall seeing art of all kinds at the annual show at the Rochester Art Center. Great combinations of creativity and community!
Lovely way to end the day, @KentPekel was the keynote speaker this evening @UMNAlumni Mentoring Celebration Dinner. He wove in 2 research studies, @SearchInstitute and @RPS535 work, our kids, and the importance of #DevelopmentalRelationships.
The Rochester Robotics Team 2530 is going to the World Championship! Please join me in making a donation to make their trip to Houston to represent our community in the world championships possible! 4giving.com/donation/51E8
This headline about the disappointing eclipse is an example of why Rochester is fortunate to have a thriving local newspaper. You don’t get a story and pictures like this in a city of our size without reporters, photographers, and editors who are truly embedded in the community.
Here’s how RPS is investing in equity: “I have been a serving the Rochester community for the past 20 years plus. My current role has been a dream come true. Now, I am able to serve our RPS students and families in ways that far exceed my previous roles.” postbulletin.com/rochester-in-c…

@KentPekel @PB_News Particularly for small local papers for whom this revenue stream really matters. In a year where we've already seen 8 MN paper close their doors, any move by the legislature to create more revenue headwinds for hyper local news misses the critical moment we're in for journalism.
Completely agree. I love news papers but the forced posting does little. Transparency is about delivering clarity and the forced publishing does nothing to improve understanding. It’s just a vestige of a bygone era.
Timberwolves defeat Suns 105-93 to take 2-0 lead in best-of-7 playoff series.
I hadn’t read this in 8 years, and revisiting it helped ease some of the weight on my heart. I still miss you so much, P. Things are pretty messed up but we march on. Last night we sang & danced to your music and felt your JOY. It continues to fortify us. thecurrent.org/feature/2016/0…

@judypf84 @KentPekel My mother taught me, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all." Agree that it looks well used and loved.
RPS only hires the best.
I am continually amazed at how Rochester teachers turn their classrooms into wonderlands for kids.
@judypf84 @KentPekel I see no trash in this photo so struggle to see how it looks like a dump. If you don’t like it, I’m sure the teacher would be happy to accept donations of time and/or funds to make the space meet your expectations. 🤗
