Due to a misunderstanding, it was portrayed that Richland R-IV wasn’t spending money on classroom supplies like they had previously done due to COVID-19 concerns. This is not the case - there has been no change on that front. We appreciate the thought of helping out and thank Better Lives Today for all that they have done (and continue to do) for our students and staff in getting extras, providing supplies for students in need, etc. We are grateful for anyone who is willing to provide assistance for students and to help with special projects , etc. However, please know that we will continue to provide the basic necessities for school and also for any needs that arise due to the ever changing situation we find ourselves in.
Please call the school office if you've had a change in phone numbers, address, or emergency contacts so we can update this information before school starts. Thanks
Thursday August 6th is PK/K screening and enrollment. Call the office to schedule your appointment @ 573-765-3812 ext. 2201
