RUSD One of 12 Schools in Nation Selected
for Future Ready Schools Digital Equity Program
|
|
The Alliance for Excellent Education (All4Ed), with generous support from AT&T, launched a new pilot program and
Rowland Unified School District was one
of
12 school districts across the nation selected.
The Future Ready Schools
®
(FRS) Digital Equity Program, led by All4Ed, will provide school district leaders with resources, leadership strategies, and other support to better plan and implement a digital learning strategy that improves learning outcomes for all students. The pilot program was announced last week by FRS at a retreat involving senior-level leadership from the 12 districts selected.
“Leaders from the twelve school districts selected for the Future Ready Schools (FRS) Digital Equity Program have demonstrated their commitment to modernize their schools, support their teachers, and identify modern learning opportunities that engage their students and improve learning outcomes,”
said Bob Wise, president of the Alliance for Excellent Education and former governor of West Virginia.
“Thanks to a $300,000 contribution from AT&T, the FRS Digital Equity Program will help school district leaders identify their needs and craft a comprehensive plan that incorporates a research-based digital strategy and results in sound purchasing decisions. Such an approach ensures a smoother implementation and greater likelihood of success.”
“It is a pleasure to have been selected as an innovative school district striving to meet the needs of the students we serve,”
said Rowland Unified School District Superintendent Dr. Julie Mitchell.
“We look forward to working with leaders on a national level to make a positive impact for all students in the Rowland Unified School District.”

Read Across America at RUSD Schools
|
|
The Force of reading was strong at schools across the District as they celebrated Dr. Seuss's Birthday and Read Across America. Thank you to staff, parents and community members who came out to read to our students!
|
|
To celebrate the fantastical world of reading and Dr. Seuss’s Birthday, characters from a galaxy far, far away visited students at Jellick Elementary. Members of the “501st Legion,” the largest Star Wars volunteer costuming group of “villainous” favorites such as Imperial Stormtroopers and Darth Vader himself, read to elementary students. In addition, visitors had fun taking their photo with a green screen backdrop (Superintendent Dr. Mitchell joined the festivities!) along with various community members including: Assemblymember Phillip Chen, representatives from the offices of Congressman Ed Royce and Senator Newman, officers from the Walnut Sheriff’s Department and local Fire Department, Chaffey Federal Credit Union, and 20 representatives from the City of Industry Target showed their support!
|

West Covina Fire Department No. 5 turned up the heat and community leaders like
Deputy
Louis Denver from Walnut/Diamond Bar Station - Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department had fun re-enforcing the joy of reading to Hollingworth students for Dr. Seuss' Birthday!
