• DO NOT park on 12th and walk your child in the middle of the street. Please use a designated crosswalk.
• When using the parent drop off - please have students exit the car on the passenger side - to avoid children exiting their cars near 12th.

• If the car line is full - please wait in the line to drop your child off. Do NOT double park next to the drop off line and drop your child off in the middle of the street.

We need EVERYONE's cooperation to make arrival run smoothly. Please adhere to the above to help us make Richmond a safe arrival for students each morning.

If you have a non-parent dropping off or picking up your child. Please share these reminders with them. It is extremely important that EACH family adhere to the above for safety. Thank you!

Dear Richmond Elementary School Families,

We are excited to invite your student to participate in D303 STEM Night, a district-wide celebration of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics! This special evening is an opportunity for students to showcase their ideas, experiments, inventions, collections, coding projects, engineering builds, and other STEM passions.

STEM Night is all about curiosity, creativity, and innovation. Whether your child loves designing, building, experimenting, or problem-solving, this is their chance to shine and share their learning with our community.

Why participate?

• Share a STEM project or passion with others

• Build confidence by presenting ideas

• Be inspired by fellow student innovators

• Celebrate learning in a fun, supportive environment

We encourage all interested students to sign up and be part of this exciting event. Visit the D303 STEM Night website for participation details and project guidelines.

We can’t wait to see our Richmond Tigers’ creativity and innovation on display!
