“We all struggle in certain areas and we are all gifted in certain areas. We need to support students in the areas they are gifted”. Great thought from Misty Wroblewski at RCPS in-service this morning.
RCPS staff completed day one of in-service today and then hosted a variety of open house events this evening. Our staff is dedicated to doing whatever it takes to make the 2021-2022 school great for our students. We can’t wait to see them walk through the doors on Thursday!

Mr. Otten politely told me I was not immune from my own ‘New Face’ bio - I’ve been so lucky to for all the help in this new position...from the training Ashley provided before she left to do her new thing, Brandi who is doing her job AND answering my millions of daily questions, and of course Mr. Otten, who most likely is not asking me to do everything I should be doing for him while I’m getting everything ready for the kids to arrive this first year.
For those who don’t know who I am, I’m Ginger Schmidt; I'm the newest addition to the RCHS office team in the Administrative Assistant position. For the last three years I’ve been a regular at both RCHS and BGS as a substitute teacher, I loved being around the kids so much I decided to become a permanent fixture. My husband and I moved our family and farming operation here over 20 years ago from Colorado, and years later he still farms north of Bassett, both of my boys graduated from Rock County and are off on their own adventures. In my spare time I truly enjoy long distance outdoor endurance sports, coaching JR High Cross Country and helping with JR High track. I'm enjoying this new position and challenge, just anxiously waiting for the kids to come back from summer vacation.

The Friese's are excited to be a part of Rock County Schools! I am Cindy Friese and I will be the new 5/6th grade teacher at Bassett Elementary. Jon will be coaching and is excited to help with the athletic program. We are both from Elkhorn, Nebraska and graduated from Elkhorn High School. I have been teaching for 20 years and have experience in Arizona, Elkhorn Public Schools and Millard Public Schools. I have my Master's Degree in Elementary Education with an emphasis in Reading and English Language Learners. Jon and I have 2 grown children, Courtney, 20 who is currently attending Clarkson College of Nursing and Cameron, 19 who resides in Arizona. Family is important to us and we are happy to be near Jon's side of the family. His mom, Mary Friese lives in Long Pine and Jon's sister and brother-in-law, Jeep and Lynne Cozad have a cattle ranch outside of Long Pine.
