RPS 205 schools honored Veterans Day in special ways today! Brookview celebrated their school community veterans and raised $800 for both the Disabled American Veterans & Vets Roll from their displayed 75 flags and Penny Wars. Conklin hosted Auburn’s JROTC & Drumline and recognized their veterans. Auburn seniors in the Fabrication classes crafted pens & soldiers and presented them to local veterans. Thank you to all veterans. We thank you for your service!

Good Morning Conklin Academy Families,
Construction begins on our front driveway this morning. While the front driveway will continue to function like it normally does for arrival and dismissal, we ask for your patience and to expect some delays. If you are visiting the school between 8:00 am and 1:30 pm, we ask that you park in the west parking lot or on Halsted and walk to enter through Door A. The front driveline portion of the construction should be done by the end of the week. Thank you for your support!
Have a great day
