Hello!
- If an accident or illness occurs during the school day, parents will be notified. If you or the designee are unavailable, it is important that the school have your permission to call your doctor or seek professional help as necessary.

From Our Kitchen
- Once a month we will have breakfast with a Special Guest. Each Guest will give a very short talk about who they are and what their job is. Please ask your son or daughter about our April Special Guest, Nathan Glenz, parent and owner of Richmond's very own A & W! Our May 16th Special Guest will be Derek Mueller, a Richmond Firefighter/Rescue member and my son!
- ROCORI food service's mission is to fuel the minds and bodies of our students with nutritious and sustaining meals so they can thrive both physically and mentally, while instilling lifelong eating habits. We offer daily free breakfast for all students, including late start mornings.
