Along with providing contact information for our dedicated department staff we intend to use this website to create greater public awareness of issues related to attendance and truancy.
Check this site to access information and links to valuable community resources that are available for youth and see the latest RPS Attendance Data.
We will periodically introduce community resources and share attendance related stories on this page.
If you have any questions, ideas you wish to share or would like to see something added to our site, please email me at malonej@rps205.com.
We look forward to working with all of you to help better our community!!!!
