Dear Families of Richmond Community Schools (RCS),


As we step into March, we welcome the signs of spring and the renewed energy it brings to our schools. This time of year is filled with exciting opportunities for learning, growth, and community engagement. From academic achievements to arts, athletics, and upcoming events, our students continue to inspire us with their dedication and hard work.


March is also a time to celebrate National Reading Month, a wonderful opportunity to encourage a lifelong love of reading among our students. We invite families to join us in fostering a culture of literacy - whether through bedtime stories, book clubs, or visits to Morrisson-Reeves Library.


Additionally, we are closely approaching the final stretch of the school year. With state assessments, spring performances, and other key milestones ahead, I encourage our students to stay focused and finish the year strong. Parents and guardians, your support is invaluable in helping our students achieve their best.


Thank you for being a vital part of our school community. Your involvement, encouragement, and partnership make a difference every day. Let's make this month a great one!



With gratitude,


Dr. Curtis L. Wright

Superintendent of Schools

In-School Tutoring at your child's school

For example, Indiana University East is offering on-site tutoring/mentoring for Dennis Middle School students on Mondays and Wednesdays during 7th and 8th-grade lunch starting March 3, 2025.
