Dear Richmond Families, I am reaching out today to encourage you to be especially mindful of your child’s social media accounts. While there is no specific threat nor information regarding targeting of a particular social media platform, current news reports are warning of the potential for graphic video content to be shared from the conflict in the Middle East. As always, we encourage you and your families to say something if you see something. Sincerely, Brian J. Walmsley, Ed.S. Superintendent

Seventeen Richmond students in grades 8-12 traveled to Orlando, Florida to compete in the AAU Scholastic Disney Duals. The Blue Devils finished in second place in their pool, and 5-5 overall. The wrestling program thanks the Board of Education for approving this trip for our students. We look forward to continuing to offer great experiences like this for our student-athletes in the future. GO BLUE! #FAMILY

Today our Girls’ STEM campers used hand tools and power tools. They painted their wood plaques and worked on their assistive technology prototypes. We are building confidence and self-esteem!
