Red Clay Referendum
It's been nearly a decade since Red Clay last pursued a referendum. Throughout that time, Red Clay has remained committed to being responsible stewards of our community's funds and our dedication to prudent financial management has allowed Red Clay to maintain the high standards of education that our children deserve. The resources a successful referendum will provide are essential to ensuring that every child in our district has access to a world-class education that will prepare them for a brighter future.
We are excited to bring back GOTR to Richey! Registration opens on Monday February 12th and is open to any 3rd, 4th, or 5th grade girl. Scan the QR code on the flier, using your phone or device and follow the directions from there. The season begins the week of March 4th and ends with an exciting 5k run at Rockford Park on Saturday April 27th!
We will practice on Mondays and Wednesdays until 5pm. Please note, there is no transportation and girls must be picked up by an adult after practice. They are not permitted to walk home by themselves.
When you register, you will see a large fee to participate-you are not expected to pay this, so please click that you would like financial assistance. You will be directed to answer more questions to reduce the price of the fee. If paying the reduced fee or any fee is too difficult for you at this time, please enter the code RICHEY when prompted to do so to waive the fee. The cost should NOT cause a girl to be unable to participate. More detailed information about the season will follow after the registration process is complete. Please contact tara.massado@redclay.k12.de.us or alexis.storm@redclay.k12.de.us with any questions.

First Avenue
Richey Families,
Due to safety concerns, as of October 23, 2023, we are asking parents to no longer park on First Avenue closest to the school. No one was injured but we want to ensure that we are keeping our students safe as they are walking from school to home.
This street does not have sidewalks and our students have to walk in the street while cars are traveling in and out.
Please assist us with keeping our students safe as they are dismissed from school. You may park in a different location or you are able to join our carline.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to reach out to Mr. Johnson or Ms. Burrows.
