Parents/Guardians Help Needed:
One of our major goals in the Richmond R-XVI School District is to foster a climate that nurtures, challenges and inspires students to come to school daily. Everyone in our school community puts forth great effort to create an environment that encourages regular attendance. We know that over the past two years during the COVID pandemic, attendance has been interrupted due to positive cases and quarantining taking place via contract tracing. Consequently, our attendance has suffered and student learning has suffered as well.

Last week, the Ray County Health Department shared with us that they will allow for new COVID-19 protocols to align with updated guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
As we prepare to return to school tomorrow, we wanted to provide an update on new expectations for staying home when individuals in our school community test positive for COVID-19 or are exposed to a positive person. Click on the link to view our updated protocols: https://5il.co/13oub
