Welcome

Good afternoon,

Spring break is over, and we are headed into the last few weeks of school. Here are a few brief highlights from around the district:

Key updates from last night’s Board of Education meeting include the following:

• Recognized Jen Domagalski, the North Rockford and East Rockford Middle Schools’ athletic director, for being honored by the Michigan Interscholastic Athletic Administrators Association (MIAA) as the Region 14 Athletic Director of the Year.
• Approved strength and conditioning equipment for North Rockford Middle School. East Rockford already had this equipment. This new equipment supports our physical education program and will also be used by athletic teams.
• Approved a security technology contract (door alarms, security cameras, etc.)
• Celebrated good news from the state’s annual bus inspection program which gave each of our 70 buses a green tag. Congratulations to our transportation office and our mechanics for this great news!!                                                                                                     

Additional Board of Education information can be found under the “Our District” link, then Board of Education, on our website. 

This year we had 14 Odyssey of the Mind teams qualify for state competition. Of those 14 teams,  4 Rockford teams will be headed to World Finals in May. There they will compete against 800 teams from around the world.  

There are two one act plays coming to the Rockford High School Black Box Theater. Off Road and The 146 Point Flame will be presented April 30th, May 1st and May 2nd at 7:00 PM.

Into the Woods Jr., the underclassman play, will be presented on May 8th, May 9th, and May 10th.

Tickets are available at Ludus - ROCKTIX.

Enjoy this week’s spring weather!
