For more information and to enroll (complete the ‘Get Started’ form) go to: https://www.park.edu/admissions/early-college-online/.

All families that qualify for free or reduced meals at school are now eligible for a one-time Pandemic Electronic Benefits Transfer of up to $302 per child (PK-grade 12). Please see the letter and links with information on our website. This will include all of our elementary students since we are a CEP school. Right now there is not a place to list that CEP option and it looks like you would have to submit a paper application. That is not the case. I have talked with the DESE FNS Coordinator and that will be fixed on Thursday. If you fill out the application before that fix and list your student as attending Richland Elementary, their system will flag your students as CEP eligible. Please see the website as there is a lot of information there.
I would like to invite everyone to a Fine Arts presentation featuring Jr./Sr. High student artwork and musical performances. Go to: https://youtu.be/MF-b35yKknI and enjoy. Special thank you to Mrs. Blackburn, Miss Helton, and Mrs. Dains for their hard work to make this happen.
We are making a change to our meal delivery program for next week only. To allow our employees to enjoy Memorial Day with their families, we will deliver on Tuesday and Thursday and then return to our previous schedule on June 1. Please help spread the word and thank you for your understanding
It is preschool graduation that will be set soon, not kindergarten. I apologize for any confusion
Due to health concerns and low projected attendance numbers, Richland Schools will not have summer school this year. We still plan to start the upcoming school year on August 24 as originally scheduled.
High school graduation has been set for Friday, July 10 at 7 pm, with a backup date of Saturday, August 1 at 7 pm. The details of what it will look like are still being decided. We will also be releasing dates and details soon on Prom and Kindergarten graduation and the 6th grade advancement ceremony.
I have heard a rumor that we have a graduation date set, but that is not the case. We are still looking at what time frame and what form will work best for our students and district. We are also still discussing what to do with summer school. The survey is still open on the website - thank you to everyone who has already filled it out. Knowing if your students would/wouldn’t be in attendance will help us make our final decision. When we have that information we will pass it along.

This is Teacher Appreciation Week! Please find a way to let your teachers know how much you appreciate their efforts to educate our students. They do a great job and play a vital role in our children’s lives. Thanks again, teachers!
Be careful out there driving today. I have heard reports of trucks overturned by strong winds near Lebanon and I-44 being closed off or at a crawl. More storms are predicted as well.
Jr./Sr. High: A gray tub is outside the front doors to return packet work anytime, day or night. All textbooks will need to be returned as well when finished with them. The last day for drop-off is May 14th. A reminder to check spam folders in email for teacher messages.
Today is School Bus Driver Appreciation Day! Thank you for all you do for our students - getting them to and from school and events during “normal” times and for the food delivery and schoolwork during the COVID-19 pandemic. We REALLY do appreciate you!
