Walk to School Day

Richmond will participate in Walk to School Day on Wednesday, October 7th. Students are encouraged to walk or bike to school that day. Students who take the bus will have an opportunity to walk the bus loop before entering the building so they can still participate.

Announcing Our 2026-2027 Room Parents

Thank you to everyone who volunteered to serve as a Room Parent this year! We were fortunate to have an abundance of volunteers in many classrooms.

We like to have 2 room parents per classroom, however, several classrooms still have either one or no Room Parents assigned. If you see an opening in your child's classroom and would be interested in helping, please reach out to Kelli Kafka (KelliKKafka@gmail.com) We'd be happy to add you to the team!

Information about signing up to volunteer for the Halloween, Winter, and End of the Year parties will be coming soon. Please sure you are signed up with Membership Toolkit and follow our Social Media accounts for up to date information and emails.

PTO Committee Volunteers Needed

We still have openings on several PTO committees, and we would love your help! The PTO's success depends on the support and involvement of our Richmond community.

Whether you can volunteer occasionally or take on a leadership role, please consider joining a committee and helping make our events and programs successful.
