RES May 29 Family Newsletter 2020-2021
Hello Richmond Families,
YOU DID IT! Thank you to everyone for all their dedication, hard work and teamwork during Distance Learning! I am so proud of each and everyone one of you knowing this was not easy and at times felt impossible but we persevered and we made it to the finish line together!
It was so nice to see everyone Thursday! ! We have missed all of you and we felt all your love as we drove the streets of Richmond! WE LOVE RICHMOND!
If you weren't able to pick up your materials yesterday I will hold onto them until Fall or you can send me an email and I will do my best to get it to you! If you haven't turned in your laptop and hot spot please bring them to the High School as soon as possible! Thank you!!
As of today yearbooks have still not arrived. As soon as they do we will reach out to you! Thank you for your understanding and patience.
Our hope is that we will all be back together again in the Fall and we will be busy planning for everyone's return no matter what it may look like. Please know we will do everything to ensure a safe and fun return. Please look for Superintendent Kelvington's District Updates throughout the summer and I will be sending updates as well.
I cannot say thank you enough for all your hard work and dedication during this time and we all are so grateful for you and your support! We miss you all and are holding on to the day we all can be together again!! Enjoy your SUMMER!
Stay Safe, Stay Well, and Hope to See you Soon!
