Summer School Registration Closes May 17!
You may now log into Skyward Family Access to register for Sumer School. Classes will be held June 10th - 27th, Monday through Thursday, from 8am – 12pm at Friess Lake Elementary. This will be the second, and final, year of no course fees assigned to our summer school offerings due to a summer school grant received by HHASD. The grant will also cover the cost of wraparound care through the Kettle Moraine YMCA on scheduled summer school dates. Sign-up for wrap-around care is handled directly though the YMCA.
Friess Lake Elementary Shout-Outs!
It’s been a busy April at Friess Lake!! We had both of our Spring Sing concerts, Forward testing, baby quail in the science room, a fun reading week and book fair, and the HHOPS family dance! Thank you for supporting all of our school events. In May we are looking forward to lots of learning,
some field trips, field day on June 4 and all the excitement that the end of the school year brings.
We will also have our last wellness event using our new Adventure course on May 15. The Adventure course was added by our very own Elliot Bloom, an RMS 8th grader who added this awesome feature to the Friess Lake outdoor classroom as a part of his Eagle Scout project.
We are also excited to share the Mrs. Moschioni will be going on leave once her new bundle of joy arrives. Ms. Kelly Walters, the Friess Lake building substitute will be covering in her classroom. Good luck Moschioni family!
The reunification drill for Friess Lake students will occur on Thursday, May 2. Any students who are being picked up by parents will need to be picked up at Northbrook Church starting at 3:15. Anyone who is picking up a student must be on the approved list in Skyward. Parents/guardians must fill out the form provided by the district and bring a driver’s license.
If you have students who attend YCare, they will be back to Friess lake around 3:45. If you have students at RMS, please pick them up first and then come to pick up your Friess Lake child/ren.

Earth Day - Community Day of Service
Earth Day was celebrated a bit early at Richfield Middle School this year. Students and staff went out into the community on Friday, April 19th to give back to some of their favorite places around town. Groups of students and staff cleaned up local parks and roadways, volunteered at the local United Way office, assisted with various projects at the Germantown library, helped with spring cleaning at a local wildlife rescue (Wanakia Wildlife), created decorations for the Celebrate Families Back to the 90's Fundraiser, and so much more.
This event wouldn't have been successful without the generosity of community members and businesses. The Richfield Lions Club provided supplies and volunteers to assist with highway cleanup. Fleet Farm, Home Depot, and Slinger’s Fastenal provided supplies such as garbage bags, high-visibility vests, gloves, rakes and other various necessities. HHOPS (Holy Hill Organization of Parents and Staff) provided the t-shirts for all students and staff. The Village of Richfield provided supplies to complete projects at the different parks around the community. The Washington County Sheriff’s Office remained in the area to increase visibility of our students and staff that were near roadways.
After the hours of volunteering were complete, students enjoyed a cookout celebration and other activities with their peers for the remainder of the afternoon.
It was a great day to be a student and staff member at Richfield Middle School!
New at RMS - Crochet Club!
