I can't believe we are at the end of the 2021-2022 school year! In a year full of challenges and achievements, we thrived by being together. We are proud of the partnerships between families, staff, students, and our greater community. It is always amazing to watch your children grow throughout the year. Thank you for entrusting us with them!

Richland was a sea of red, white, and blue at an extraordinary Field Day in honor of the #KingBoys. Students from kindergarten through fifth grade were quoted as saying, "Best day ever!" Thank you to the many parent volunteers who helped make the day so memorable.

We want to thank Richland's amazing PTO and parent volunteers! You are a large part of how we thrived this year! Please see an invitation to celebrate our volunteers below.

We have quite an exciting 6 days left before school ends on June 13 and we head off to summer! This week, students in K-4 will visit classrooms in the next grade level on Move Up day. We will also celebrate with ceremonies for our kindergarteners and our fifth graders.

Look for communication this summer about days Richland will be open for summer activities.

Enjoy the summer with your loved ones, and take time to sharpen the saw!

With gratitude,

Nicole Zuerblis

Richland Principal

Richland is administering the Measurable Results Assessment (MRA), a survey and reporting system designed to provide insights into our progress as a Leader in Me school. In order to provide a holistic picture of what is going on in our school, the MRA includes three different surveys; 1) one completed by all school staff, 2) one completed by students in grades 4 and above, and 3) one completed by the families of students in all grades.

We hope you will participate so we can use the feedback to make our school an even better place for students and families. If you have any questions about the surveys or wish to see a list of questions, please contact the school’s front office.

Below are this week's questions. We'd love you to participate!

MONDAY: What is something that was hard for you at the start of the year but is easy now?

TUESDAY: What is something you accomplished this year that you are proud of?

WEDNESDAY: What advice would you give students who will be in this class next year?

THURSDAY: What was your favorite subject this year?

FRIDAY: What was your favorite activity from this year?

Currently, our district is providing ALL families with children up to the age of 18 with FREE breakfast and lunch for the remainder of the school year through funds from the US Department of Agriculture. There are no conditions to qualify. However, if you do not have a current application on file for the 2021-2022 school year, you could miss benefits from the State, should it decide to provide the Pandemic EBT Benefits again.
