School Operating Millage Renewal
Did you know the upcoming school operating millage is a renewal, not a new tax?
This proposal continues the existing 18 mills that have been collected on non-homestead properties (such as businesses, rental properties, and second homes) since Michigan’s property tax law changes in 1994.
✔️ No increase in the millage rate
✔️ No impact on primary residences
✔️ Continues essential funding for our schools - Curriculum supplies, school lunches, transportation, school personnel, athletics and extracurriculars.
This renewal helps maintain the resources and opportunities our students rely on every day.
Learn more and stay informed as you prepare to vote!
Any questions? Call the Board of Education office at 989-275-6600.

Dear Families of 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Grade Students,
Tomorrow, April 9th, our 2nd–4th grade students will be traveling to the high school to attend the dress rehearsal of the RMS’s production of The Little Mermaid, Jr. Students will be at RHS from approximately 11:45–1:45 PM including travel time.
If your child will need to be picked up early, please contact your student's teacher or call the school office in the morning so we can make arrangements for them to remain at the elementary building.
Thank you!
Dear RAPS School Community,
As we begin planning for the 2026–2027 school year, we would like to share some important calendar information that has been finalized. In Michigan, local school districts align certain dates with the common calendar established by our Intermediate School District (COOR ISD). This ensures consistency for families and staff across the region. At this time, the following dates are confirmed and will not change:
Winter Break: December 23, 2026 through January 1, 2027
Spring Break: March 29 through April 5, 2027
We are sharing these dates now to assist families with advance planning. Additional details for the full school calendar—including the first and last day of school, professional development days, and other key dates—will be released once finalized.
Thank you for your continued support and partnership. We look forward to another successful school year ahead.

GBB Semifinals Spec Bus Announcement:
*We found out at the end of the day that the Breslin Center is cashless. They only accept credit card; no cash and no Apple Pay. Because of this, the spec bus will stop on the way down and on the way back so kids can grab food. Sorry for the late notice. #gobucks

CONGRATULATIONS to the Bucks on their huge win last night over Morley Stanwood 67-63 in OT! The Bucks move to play tomorrow afternoon!
Due to a limited number of drivers, we will run one spec bus for RHS students and capping it at 50 students (so we have enough room where kids can ride relatively comfortably). Students will need $10 for tickets and money for concessions while at the game. Permission slips will need to be picked up, signed, and turned in. No permission slip = no game.
