Richmond Heights Secondary School
February 2021
Spartan Nation, Spartan Pride...
The Spring is fast approaching and we are truly missing our students. We appreciate all of your support and patience as we navigate our "new normal" during COVID. While our students are engaging in virtual learning, our teachers have been plugging away at creating innovative lessons that can capture minds of our students while online and beyond. It has been no easy feat, but we have accepted the challenge.
This months newsletter will be full of updates as we work to close out this non-traditional school year while bringing our students back to campus. Our staff, students, parents and community have been the backbone of our efforts during this time and we will remain forever grateful.
