Happening at McClenney
Join us for the annual McClenney Gator Bowl on February 5, 2026 5:00-6:30 PM!
All RPS schools and offices will be closed on Monday, January 19, in observance of MLK Day. Classes will resume for students on Tuesday, January 20.
As we begin the second half of the school year, here is our district wellness policy for your reference. Thank you for partnering with us to support the health and well-being of our students.
As we return to school, we would like to take a moment to share a few important reminders to help ensure a smooth and safe school day for all students.
