Our anti-bullying PSA is here, and we have an important message to share: Say no to bullying!
The Communications Department and Student Services teamed up with colleagues and scholars across RIMSD-41 to spread this important message.
Creating a safe, welcoming environment starts with each of us. A little kindness, speaking up, and looking out for one another can make a big difference.
Together, we can make sure every scholar and team member feels safe, supported, and valued. Because in the Rock Island-Milan School District, Rocky Pride means looking out for one another! ❤️💛
Congratulations to Edison Jr. High Assistant Principal Reshanda Johnson and RIMSD41 Secondary Teaching and Learning Coordinator Kristin Allen on being named Community Caring Conference Education Heroes.
Thank you both for your dedication to supporting our scholars, uplifting our school communities, and making a positive difference in the lives of others. We are proud to celebrate this well-deserved recognition!
