Thank you for an amazing first week! Thank you for assisting us with a smooth transition as we welcomed our learners this week. We look forward to a great year! Please enjoy some photos from our summer events this year as well as our first day of school! It's great to be back!
Our i-Ready testing begins next week for 1st-5th grade with kinder starting the first week in September. Please see this letter for more information.
Change in Transportation
If you have a change in transportation, such as your child regularly rides the bus, but you will be picking them up one day, please call the main office at (331) 228-2800. We will take care of notifying the teacher.
Birthday Celebrations
We love to celebrate birthdays at Richmond. Your child’s birthday will be announced on our morning announcements and your child will be able to choose a book from our birthday book cart. We do not allow in food for celebrations so please do not send them to school or drop them off, they will not be accepted. If you would like to send in non-edible treats (such as a pencil or non food item) that is ok.
Pets & School
We love our pets and young children love them even more! We ask that you refrain from bringing pets onto school property when students are present. If you walk with your pet to pick up or drop off your child, please identify a meeting space off of school property. Thank you for your cooperation.
Richmond Lockdown Drill
On August 27th, Richmond Elementary will conduct our state-required annual Lockdown Drill with law enforcement personnel present. During this time, students will review and practice the classroom procedures. Parents/guardians may opt their child out of physical participation in this drill each year by emailing Lisa Simoncelli-Bulak at lisa.simoncelli-bulak@d303.org and Darlene Buffano at darlene.buffano@d303.org at least 24 hours prior to the scheduled date. Students who are opted out will receive an alternative school safety learning experience with a certified staff member.
