Richland R-IV School District

It’s that time again! We’re excited to help answer some of those BURNING questions you may have about how things work at our elementary school!

From now until the first day of school, we’ll be sharing a couple of helpful tidbits each day to give you great information about your child’s school and help everyone feel ready for a wonderful year ahead!

We can’t wait to see all of those smiling faces very soon! 💙📚✨

Let's give these future Richland graduates a hand as they explore the Greater Ozarks Centers for Advanced Professional Studies (GOCAPS) program. GOCAPS gives students the chance to explore their interests in four areas: Engineering and Manufacturing, Business & Entrepreneurship, Medicine and Health Care, and Teaching Professions.

We realize that many of our families will be shopping this weekend to take advantage of the tax-free holiday. In response to receiving requests for a JH/HS supply list, we have compiled a list of supplies needed for many of the JH and HS teachers. We realize this list is not all inclusive because many of our teachers are still on summer break, but we hope this helps.
