- Students and Parents, many of us, our families and friends were and are still being affected by Hurricane Matthew. The North Carolina High School Athletic Association is asking all schools in the association to try and raise money to help those in need. Coach Spruill will be sending students around during first period next week to collect any monetary donations you can give. We will be doing this in conjunction with Havelock High School who we will be playing next week for homecoming. Also, at the homecoming game on Friday, a representative from Richlands High School and Havelock High School will sit together at the game to collect donations. The North Carolina High Athletic Association will also be donating up to $20,000. Between both schools we hope to make a donation that will make a difference. Come on Wildcats, you can make a difference. Bring in those extra dollars next week!
- More opportunities to help will be coming- stay tuned!

If you bring in a note to leave school for a doctor’s appointment, you must bring in proof of a doctor’s visit. Drivers; all notes to check out of school MUST include a reason for checking out. Notes indicating the checkout is for an "appointment " is not sufficient. If absence is for a funeral, copy of obituary or program is required.
