Tonight, we are recognizing Tina Searle and Ron Urbin for the efforts they have made in instilling PBIS District wide. Tina has made enormous progress in establishing a PBIS process at Eastside and ensuring that students and staff are safe and cared for. You have accomplished so much in a short amount of time. Ron is doing an amazing job of making sure that PBIS is fully engrained within the school. He has even posted the PBIS updates in the faculty bathrooms! Thank you both for your support.

Student Teachers for Spring 2020
Rock Springs High School drama students returned from the Wyoming State Thespian Festival in December with a second-place award in the sweepstakes competition – the high school’s top finish ever. The competition is annually organized by the Wyoming Educators of Secondary Theatre and hosted by the University of Wyoming Department of Theatre and Dance. The three-day event in Laramie is dedicated to presenting and adjudicating the performance, technical and design work of Wyoming theater students. Students from more than 30 Wyoming high schools competed in a variety of performance and design events, including monologues, scenic design and costume design. Each school could also bring one group performance in proscenium, arena or devised.

Representing the troupe tonight are the following individuals from the Thespian Student Leadership:

President Damaris Ruiz
Vice-President Catie Spann
Public Relations Destiny Britton
Secretary Mikayla Shauers
Technical Lead Jaden Tijerina
Troupe Director R. Sterling Merrill

Online Schooling Information

Online Schooling will begin Wednesday, March 25th. Families will be able to pick up their IT Go-Bags at your child’s school from 9:00 - 12:00 p.m. on Tuesday, March 24, 2020 to pick up your technology and curriculum. Do not exit your vehicle. The equipment will be brought to your car by District staff. Families and students will receive information from their child’s teachers. This will be content that your student really needs to know for the next couple of weeks. Please be patient. For some, this is a new format. Take time to learn the platform and how things work. Keep the communication going with teachers.

There will be ample technical support available to our students, staff, and families available during regular school hours for each of our school sites beginning March 25, 2020 from 8:00 - 4:00 p.m. Information for technology support can be found here.
