After nine years leading Rockland School, Principal Jeff Knapp is leaving to become a Human Resource Director in a northern elementary school district. 
 

“The hardest part of me leaving is that it’s very hard to say goodbye to all the great relationships I’ve made with students, parents, and staff,” said Mr. Knapp, who was the first male principal for the school in more than 25 years. “This is such a tight-knit community. Everyone loves this school, the red doors, and all that it means. This place is very special. It is hard to walk away from.”

District 70 is initiating a new communication tool for the community known as Board Briefs. Board Briefs are designed to highlight important conversations and decisions made on behalf of students, families, staff, and the larger community by the District 70 School Board at each monthly School Board meeting.

Keep up with the latest D70 news by reading Board Briefs posted on our website under Board.
