The Emergency Broadband Benefit Program is a Federal Communications Commission (FCC) program that provides a temporary discount on monthly broadband bills for qualifying low-income households. If your household is eligible, you can receive:
>Up to a $50/month discount on your broadband service and associated equipment rentals
>A one-time discount of up to $100 for a laptop, tablet, or desktop computer (with a co-payment of more than $10 but less than $50)
Only one monthly service discount and one device discount is allowed per household.
The FCC has announced that consumers can begin applying for and enrolling in the Emergency Broadband Benefit Program on May 12, 2021. The program will end when the fund runs out of money, or six months after the Department of Health and Human Services declares an end to the COVID-19 health emergency, whichever is sooner.

Parents,
Thank you for your help in making the PSAT testing today go smoothly (on our first day back after an extended break)! We were super proud of your student today.
I have never heard a parent wish or hope that their student becomes a great standardized test taker, so I want to be sure to add clarification to our pride. We are proud of their flexibility with changes and new details today. We are proud of their "thank yous" as they lined up to take a snack and water. We are proud of our virtual students coming in after some of them being out of the building for over a year. We are proud of how excited our students were to welcome their virtual classmates. We are proud of their preparedness with pencils and calculators. We are proud that students appeared to work hard with pride to do their best.
Thanks again for your help and partnership. Your conversations at home certainly had an impact.
Parents- check out this information about the P-EBT program.
There were so many winners today! It was a great day to recognize all of our students for respect, pride, and integrity and also a great day to recognize our reading month winners. We topped it off with a schoolwide Kahoot competition that was organized by our student council. It’s a great day to be a rocket!
What happens when the timer on the doors is not working in the morning? Four awesome middle school students jump up to help out and hold the door. What a great way to start the day. Remember, today is a half-day with dismissal at 10:55. Happy Friday morning!
Meal pick up is still available next week at the high school from 1:oo until 3:00.

We are super proud of our “mathletes” for persevering through an opportunity that looked a little different this year. Under normal circumstances, students would get to travel to MCC, interact with other students from area schools, and engineers in our area. This year, students were able to compete in a virtual setting. We even had three students earn an opportunity to participate at the state level and represent RP well. This was a great chance for students to step outside of their comfort zone and try to solve new and challenging problems. We can’t seem to get one picture with everybody but between the two pictures below, it captures the team!
This week, a group of our students got to pilot a virtual career fair. Students got to explore different career fields in a real and relevant way within healthcare. The students did a great job.
Check out this great opportunity.
We have double the rocket pride today with recognition for our rocket slip winners from this week and last week. Everywhere you look, the Rocket Way is on display! We are so proud of our students.

Over the last few weeks, many hours were put in to create a mural in our main commons that represented and reflected our school culture. We are thankful for the hard work of the students and staff that made this happen. Art is an expression and way of communicating and we are thrilled with the message on display now every day. RP STRONG is on display!
