RDES Update
Achieving Together ... ONE Family
Notes from Mrs. Hyatt
Dear Richmond Drive Families,
Valentine's Day is just around the corner and will look a little different this year in Rock Hill Schools as we continue to keep everyone safe during COVID-19. The school will be providing all food and fun for Valentine's Day. Although it's not what we all desire, we are not allowing any food, drink, or cards to be brought into the school. Thank you for your understanding.
Charging computers at home is extremely important. Please continue to monitor that students are charging computers each night before going to bed.
Remember - Early Dismissal Monday, January 25 to allow staff to have a professional development day..
With much appreciation,
Janice Hyatt
Principal
Please stay safe and healthy, by social distancing and washing your hands frequently. THANK YOU

Mrs. Spain works with students on an individual basis for short-term counseling/student strategy sessions for finding solutions. If long-term counseling is more appropriate, requests for school-based community counseling can be made to serve the identified student needs. Parents are always welcome to consult with Mrs. Spain about counseling and student support services available to students and families.
