Happy Thanksgiving Break!

As we head into the holiday season, we want to take a moment to express our gratitude for the incredible students, families, and staff who make our Redmond School District community so special. We hope you enjoy a restful and joyful Thanksgiving break filled with family, friends, and plenty of good food.

2024 RSD School Bond Passed – Thank You!

We are thrilled to announce that the November Redmond School Bond passed with 52.2% approval! Thank you so much for your support.

This bond will bring safety upgrades and critical repairs to every school, ensuring our buildings remain strong and ready for the next generation of students.

Next steps will be announced once we have a project manager on board. We're estimated to have this done in January 2025. A Bond Oversight Committee will be formed soon. Stay tuned for application details.
