A reminder: Jr. High and High School packet pick-up is tomorrow, April 6th, from 9:00am-6:00pm. Pick-up will take place at the junior high doors. Thank you.
A reminder that homework pick up will be held tomorrow from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm at each building. You can go out to pick up packets if you want because we are an essential business by the stay at home order. Please follow safe practices- no more people out than necessary and no direct contact. If you prefer, we will deliver packets on Tuesday to everyone who didn’t pick them up on Monday. Also, food delivery will only run on Monday and Wednesday this week. Three days of food will be delivered on Wednesday since Friday was going to be a day off for our staff. We will return to the normal schedule on April 13. Stay safe, Bear Pride!
Packet pick-up will be Monday April 6th 9:00am-6:00pm
***The elementary school has a change in location to the back gym door
Elementary parents: Starting Monday April 6th, we will have a nightly homework helper hotline. Call 573-765-3812 extension 2205 if you need assistance with homework. This line will be answered by a teacher from 3:00pm -6:00pm. Monday thru Friday.
Please be aware of the Pulaski County stay at home order that was issued, effective at 5:00. This should not affect food and homework pick up and delivery as we are an essential business. However, please use safe practices during this time. If anything changes, we will let you know. Keep checking back for updates. Stay safe, Bear Pride!

Due to the extension of school closure through April 24th, we will be postponing all athletic contests and/or competitions through May 1st to allow for the 14 days of conditioning rule. More information will be passed along as MSHSAA makes updates.
After consulting with local health agencies, state and federal guidelines, and other area schools, I want to let you know that Richland Schools will be out of session through April 24 due to the COVID-19 virus. At this time we are continuing our food delivery on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and are updating our educational plans as we move forward. More information will be shared soon. Stay safe, Richland Bears.

I would like to commend our staff for their work in meeting the needs of our students in the food delivery process and continuing to prepare for student education in this time of uncertainty. I would also like to give a big thank you to our parents for their work in coming to pick up the homework packets on Monday! I was amazed by the number of you that came to the school to pick them up. It made the delivery on Tuesday much smoother than I anticipated. Thanks again. I know that some area schools have suspended these services but it is my intention to continue to provide them as long as possible.
We are still currently scheduled to be out until April 6. I would like to remain optimistic about that date but we will have to wait to see how the situation unfolds before then. We will continue to keep you informed of any updates in that area.
State mandated testing has been suspended for the current school year. There has also been some forgiveness for students in areas such as the testing requirements to qualify for the A+ program.
Please keep following the recommended guidelines- groups of 10 or less, use social distancing, and don’t go out unless you need to. Hopefully these measures will help cut down on the number of cases. Stay safe and we look forward to when things return back to normal and we can see the students again.
MSHSAA Spring Update
Due to recent CDC and federal government guidelines, we will be postponing Prom 2020. We are actively looking to reschedule from April 18th to a future date. Please be patient as continue to monitor the current situation in the coming weeks.
