Richey's First Take

Richey partners with the Food Bank of Delaware to provide our students with non-perishable food to take home on the weekends. No applications or verification to participate. If you would like your student(s) to bring home food on the weekends, please return the Interest Slip that was sent home to Mrs. Durant or send her an email at Jaclyn.Durant@redclay.k12.de.us

I was made aware that several parents received an email from LifeTouch. We are not using LifeTouch this year. We are using Legacy Studios. Please disregard any emails from LifeTouch regarding a picture day at Richey.

Our Picture Day is October 3rd with Legacy Studios.

We have several items that can be harvested from our Richey Garden. We ask that you do not come to pick up items during the school day. You can come into the garden anytime after 4:15 pm. Please come and enjoy the fresh produce we have available for our Richey families.

I got a pepper and some tomatoes for my family. :)

The same night as the trunk or treat we will have our Richey Coat and Blanket Giveaway!

The district offers Voluntary Accident Insurance to parents/guardians for their student. It is a low-cost accident insurance with options during the school day or 24-hour coverage.

Please remember doors open at 8:45 am.

Students are late after 9:00 am. It is very important for our students to be here before 9:00 am because we start our instructional day at 9:00 am.

Students arriving after 9 am require their parent/guardian to enter the school to sign them in for the school day.

We will now begin Car Rider Dismissal at 3:40. This will ensure that we are maximizing our academic time with our students.

Please remember not to block the driveways of our neighbors. Also, make sure you are not blocking the exit of the Richey circle as this causes a delay as cars are unable to exit the circle.

• Wouldn’t it be great if you could learn the exact location of your child’s bus, and what time it will arrive at their stop? Red Clay has an app for that! WheresTheBusTM allows families to follow the progress of the bus before it arrives at the student’s assigned stop. Knowing when the bus will arrive translates into peace of mind for parents. Mornings are less hectic and stressful for families when you eliminate the bus stop rush and uncertainty of wondering when the bus will arrive. Families can minimize waiting outside in inclement weather while enjoying more family time together.
  

• The app also allows parents to see in real-time where the bus is and when their student checked in on the bus and off of the bus. This allows parents to know that the student has arrived at school in the morning and returned home in the afternoon.

Signing up is free, and takes less than 5 minutes.
