Arrival - Safety Reminders

Please read the following safety bullets below to help ensure a safe and smooth drop off each morning at Richmond.

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.
Parents should use the drop off lane as a drop off - parent should remain in their car and students should exit independently. If you need to help your child exit the car, please use a designated parking space.
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.

Food Drive Results

Richmond Student Council and Kindness Club are proud to share the results of our recent Food Drive! Thanks to the generosity of our Richmond families, we collected 95 cans of fruits and vegetables, over 35 boxes of pasta and mac and cheese, and numerous additional items including rice, ramen, corn muffin mix, and breakfast bars.

These donations will go directly to support local families through Shepherd's Heart, who will be picking up the items this week.

Student Information Considerations for 2026- 2027 Class Placement

In planning for the upcoming school year, parents are invited to provide information that will assist us in the class placement process. Since every learner is unique, our goal is to pair each learner with an environment that maximizes his or her potential. Therefore, balancing classrooms based on student needs or talents, learning styles, and personalities are all factored as we compile class lists. As you can imagine, this is a complex process and a very important one.

We welcome any information that you would like to provide about your student in order to assist in making the best possible placement. Because of the many factors considered when putting a class roster together, requests for specific teachers will not be accepted. Clearly defining the needs of your child will be most helpful in making a good classroom assignment.

This information must be submitted by March 27th. Use THIS FORM to submit a student class placement consideration request form.

Consideraciones sobre la Información de los Estudiantes para la Asignación de Clases para el 2026-2027

Al planificar el próximo año escolar, invitamos a los padres a proporcionar información que nos ayude en el proceso de asignación de clases. Dado que cada estudiante es único, nuestro objetivo es emparejar a cada estudiante con un entorno que maximice su potencial. Por lo tanto, al crear las listas de clases, se tienen en cuenta factores como el equilibrio de los salones de clase en función de las necesidades o talentos de los estudiantes, sus estilos de aprendizaje y sus personalidades. Como pueden imaginar, se trata de un proceso complejo y muy importante.

Agradecemos cualquier información que deseen proporcionarnos sobre su hijo(a) para ayudarnos a realizar la mejor asignación posible. Debido a los numerosos factores que se tienen en cuenta a la hora de elaborar la lista de estudiantes, no se aceptarán solicitudes de maestros específicos. Definir claramente las necesidades de su hijo(a) será de gran ayuda para realizar una buena asignación de clases.

Esta información debe enviarse antes del 27 de marzo AQUI.
