Richland R-IV School District

There will be a parade tomorrow at 1:00 at the Richland square to support the Lady Bears as they head to the Basketball Quarterfinals! The elementary students will walk with their classes while the secondary students will bus there. Students will not be able to leave from the parade area. If parents wish to take their students after the parade, they will need to allow them to return to their school first. Thank you for understanding this safety and logistics procedure.

In celebration of Missouri’s bicentennial, the Missouri Art Education Association requested submissions from students based on Missouri transportation, architecture, landmarks, history, wildlife, and notorious people. Student drawings will be published into a coloring book and sold. The proceeds from the coloring book will start a scholarship fund for a high school senior interested in art education. Richland Elementary is honored to have two students' artwork selected for publication. Congratulations to Cameron and Peyton both 6th grade students. Their drawings will be published in the 2021 Bicentennial Missouri Coloring Book.

The Lady Bears are headed to the QUARTERFINALS!!!

A special shout out to our maintenance staff: Tracy, Dale, and Danny. They have worked hard on making sure the gym floor is at its finest for tonight’s sectional girls basketball game!

Now that it looks like we are through the worst of the weather issues, I wanted to update everyone. Since we submitted a calendar with the necessary hours built in, we will not have to make up the snow days. However, we did take two COVID break days after Thanksgiving that will have to be made up. With travel plans already made for some of you, I didn’t want to take away spring break days. We will need to add two days to the end of the school year on May 24 & 25. Hopefully this is a situation we will not have to deal with in the future. Once again I thank you for your patience and understanding during the pandemic.

Wednesday February 24th is the 100th day of school! Students are welcome to dress as a career 100 years in the future or 100 years old. Richland Elementary
