Some great news to start the school year with! All 11 RUSD high school academies are now nationally certified by the National Career Academy Coalition!
We're not stopping there... our goal is to have all academies earn the 'Model of Distinction' certification, the highest possible grade. Two academies have already accomplished this feat, nine more to go! #YouBelongHere

What a great first week! From kindergarteners finding their first cubby to seniors' 'last first day of school', our students are ready to take on the year. Here are a few of our favorite moments from across RUSD this week. #YouBelongHere
If you attended Jerstad-Agerholm's ribbon cutting ceremony, you know how beautiful the renovations and new construction are. But did you know some of that work was done by an RUSD youth apprentice?
Take a look at this story about Israel Hernandez, a construction pathway student at the Academies of Racine at Park. Israel is one of 16 students working on 2020 referendum projects across the district. #YouBelongHere

This is un-BEE-lievable!
Fratt Elementary had its first sighting of the federally endangered Rusty Patched Bumblebee in their Pollinator Patch! While the primary goal of these patches is promoting water quality through native plants, the second mission is bringing awareness to/providing habitat for the Rusty.
The Rusty's range has shrunk by almost 90% over the last 20 years and Wisconsin is the last hope for the conservation of this species.
Check out the Root-Pike Watershed Initiative Network for more updates.
