Schools, school leaders and teachers in rural communities like Richland Springs are a remarkable reflection of community, spirit, beliefs, insights and aspirations. Rural schools are distinctive and unique. They represent values that are the bedrock of our nation.
Staff continues the varied methods for homebound instruction, from internet instruction to packet pick-up. For our current packet pick-up, teachers have materials packed individually per student and placed in a box or bin with teacher name on it. Principal Rhonda Wyatt will move the bins/boxes to the benches in front of the library on Monday morning, and parents will come pick up their child’s materials between 8-4 Monday. Librarian Valerie Barker also asks that all library books be returned and placed on the benches in front of the library. This “social distancing” will be safer for families and for district employees. Contact Principal Rhonda Wyatt with your concerns and questions. We are here to work with parents and students to complete this school year in a safe-as-possible manner.
Three weeks remain in the 2019-2020 school year. Graduation for the Senior Class of 2020 is near! If you see a teacher in public, tell them how much you appreciate their efforts. We appreciate all the parents’ efforts at home to complete the at-home learning. We have a great community, students, teachers and staff. Words of encouragement are needed to make the journey with COVID-19 more bearable! Please pray for our schools and our country.
Community involvement is the key to our success!
