Rockford Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Ehren Jarrett and the RPS 205 leadership team regularly recognize RPS 205 employees for their commitment to living the district’s values: character, communication, collaboration and continuous improvement.
They are nominated by their colleagues for living one or more of the values. Staff, families and community members can recognize any RPS 205 employee throughout the year by nominating an RPS 205 employee for living the values. Dr. Jarrett and his leadership team recognize them each quarter. Members from the Superintendent’s cabinet recognized shoutout nominees in March with a surprise visit at schools & the central office with a chocolate bar and pictures to celebrate their work.
