​This RUSD page is intended to be a place for us to share important information with the community and engage in constructive discussion. When commenting, please follow these guidelines to keep conversations on track:

Keep your comments on topic and constructive. Take responsibility for the conversations you take part in. Don't attack people and don't respond to attacks. Respect others, their ideas and their opinions. We will hide any comments that are off-topic. You and your friends will be able to see these hidden comments, but the general public will not. We will delete:
Personal attacks directed at anyone. All forms of discrimination (or posts that could be interpreted as such). Comments we believe exist only to provoke or mislead. Comments identifying or sharing the personal information of another person (including children) without their consent. Comments that are commercial or repeatedly shared external links. We reserve the right to ban commenters who repeatedly breach the guidelines above. Wisconsin Statutes 19.31-19.39 require us to archive all social media posts (including comments deleted by you or by RUSD) in compliance with public records laws. All comments you make, edit and/or delete are archived.

As the first year of our Transition2Employment (T2E) program comes to a close, our participating students, Mrs. Knuth and the RUSD Transition Program want to extend a heartfelt THANK YOU to the organizations, businesses and community members (tagged below) who helped make this year such a success.

Through their support, our students gained valuable workplace experience, built confidence, developed important life and employment skills, had fun learning, and strengthened their connections to the community.

Thank you for believing in our students and helping them take meaningful steps toward their futures. Together, we are creating opportunities, building independence and helping students become active, engaged members of our community.
