As we wrap up our three-year construction project, we want to celebrate by inviting the entire Richfield community to tour your newly renovated schools! Open house events will take place at each school between September 25 and October 1 (coinciding with homecoming week!).

Reports are submitted weekly from ICS on the progress of the Capital Facilities Projects.

As we approach the beginning of the new school year, we have a few quick updates for you regarding our face covering policy, transportation boundaries and online learning options. In addition to these districtwide updates, you should also be receiving information directly from your child’s school with the school-specific information you will need to start the school year strong.

It is critical that we continue to support students academically as well as through increased social and emotional programs in this upcoming year. The U.S. government is providing additional funding through the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund (ESSER), and we are asking you to identify the funding priorities that are most important to you. Take the survey here.

We hope you are enjoying your summer! Here are a few quick updates about what we are working on for back to school—especially as it relates to COVID-19 plans. Because the situation could change and is influenced by CDC and MDH recommendations, you can expect additional updates leading up to the first day of school.

The most unique year, filled with challenges and successes, tears and laughter, distance learning, Google Meets and in-person reunions, has come to a close. Thank you to everyone —students, teachers, staff and families—who navigated the challenges that this year brought with grace and kindness.
