News & Announcements

UPDATE 11/7/23 (9:25 AM) With the uncertainty of power to our schools, we are forced to dismiss all RCS schools early today. All 7th-12th grade bus riders will be taken home via school bus. All PreK-6th grade students will need to be picked up by a parent/guardian.
_________
All RCS schools will stay in their buildings for the next 30 minutes to afford RPL the opportunity to address our countywide power outage. However, if power is not restored by 9:15, we will begin measures to dismiss students. Please be ready for possible early dismissal.

State law limits school districts to the use of only three asynchronous eLearning days per year. RCS will reserve the use of these three days for inclement weather days and for the Solar Eclipse Day on April 8, 2024.

Due to the rainy weather conditions, the Magical World of Math event is being postponed to Tuesday, October 10, 2023 (5-7pm) at Elstro Plaza.

Today is IT Professionals Day! This is an opportunity to recognize the critical role technology staff play in supporting staff and students all across Richmond Community Schools.

First celebrated in 2015, IT Professionals Day was created to show appreciation for these dedicated professionals who keep every part of their organization connected and online. #ITProfessionals #SayYesToRCS
