Welcome to October!
Srta. Rachel Lewis, RMS Spanish
Please enjoy the fourth in our new staff video series: Meet Srta. Rachel Lewis. Rachel is the new Spanish teacher at Richfield Middle School.
- If you need to exit your vehicle, you must park in the parking lot. Otherwise, a staff member will be waiting to greet your child(ren) and help them out of the car.
- When using the drop-off lane, pull all the way forward to the stop sign, then fill in. Do not stop in front of the kindergarten or main doors. This congests all of the traffic behind you. It also creates a dangerous situation when vehicles move around your parked car in order to drop-off their child(ren) in front of your vehicle.
- Finally, please do not drop your child(ren) off before 8:00 a.m. There is no supervision prior to that time. On Friday, several students were playing on the curb prior to 8:00 a.m. I stopped them and asked them to wait at the front entrance, out of harm's way. Please assist us in keeping your child(ren) safe.
In terms of afternoon pick-up, a deputy sheriff was in our parking lot Monday to monitor dismissal procedures. This officer will be present today as well.
If you arrive at the school prior to 3:00 p.m., please stay in your parking spot until you pick-up your child. Please have your vehicle sign visible to the staff members. This will signal Mr. Laird to radio the staff monitoring the students in the commons so they may be released to you. When exiting the parking lot, you may leave using either of the two driving lanes.
Thank you.

October is Down Syndrome Awareness Month
October is upon us and this often means temperatures are beginning to drop, the leaves are changing colors and falling from the trees and the anticipation of eating caramel apples, pumpkin carving and trick-or-treating is coming near. While these activities are exciting to think about there is much more to celebrate in the month of October. October is Down Syndrome Awareness Month. During the month of October we can all help spread awareness, advocacy and inclusion throughout our community. I encourage each of you to look to celebrate individuals with Down Syndrome and make people aware of their abilities and accomplishments. We all learn from each other so please find time during the month of October to spread awareness and connect and support Down Syndrome. We all learn best when we work together and support one another. To learn more about Down Syndrome please check out these websites and their resources:
Down Syndrome Association of Wisconsin https://www.dsaw.org/
National Down Syndrome Society https://www.ndss.org/
Wisconsin Upside Down https://www.wiusd.org/
