The new Cherry Valley Elementary School is hosting an official ribbon cutting and open house this afternoon.

Do you know when to stop for school buses in a multi-lane situation?

Big Bird and all his friends are loading up their bus and bringing Sesame Street to classrooms. Will they make into Rockford's schools?

One teacher's strategy for stopping future school shootings has nothing to do with guns.

A Utah high school is now fining students who are consistently late to class. Should Rockford high schools do this too?

The ball was dropped by Rockford Public Schools in a big way. As a parent of an RPS 205 student I think I can speak for many when I ask, "what the heck is going on?"

This is plain nuts!  Give me a break, political correctness gone haywire. School children and teens in DeKalb schools will no longer be able to have any holiday parties.

It's no secret that the Rockford Public Schools are hurting for teachers, so it makes total sense to start the recruiting process early right here in district 205. It also makes sense to offer aspiring young teachers incentives for staying in Rockford such as discounted tuition and guaranteed job placement, which is exactly what this new RPS program is aiming to do.

The Ford Motor Company recently announced the STEM Community Challenge, which aims to build innovative and sustainable communities in this nation. The challenge will award $10,000 grants to two high schools who design the best projects that provide solutions for critical issues in their communities, and TWO Rockford schools have made the top 10 finalists list!

Speed Cameras could be come a reality in Rockford and every town in the Stateline if one Illinois lawmaker gets his way.
