News & Announcements

Richland School District is thrilled to announce Linda Johnson, a preschool teacher at the district’s Early Learning Center (ELC), will receive the 2021 Crystal Apple Award.

Learn how we conducting health attestations as students return to in-person learning.

Face coverings are one of the public health precautions our schools will follow as students return to the classroom. We understand this is a big change for a student’s in-person learning experience and want to share what the requirements are and how schools will help students adjust.

It’s time to get ready for school! Schools are opening with online instruction this fall and staff are excited to connect, work and engage with students so they can be successful. Here are details about enrollment, student meals, daily schedules, supporting student learning at-home and more.

RSD is currently accepting applications for the fall of 2020 in preschool classrooms funded by the state’s Early Childhood Education & Assistance Program (ECEAP) at the Early Learning Center.

Through technology, innovative teaching and collaboration with families, our new Virtual Classroom program will help students meet their goals and push their education forward while schools are closed in response to the novel coronavirus COVID-19.

The Richland School Board and district administrators will be in emergency meetings on March 13 to discuss when and how to close schools in response to the novel coronavirus COVID-19. The district asks families to begin making plans for their children in the event that schools close with short notice and for an indefinite extended period of time. Check out www.rsd.edu/coronavirus for the latest information.

The district has partnered with the state Department of Health to test every water fixture in some of our schools as part of ongoing efforts to have safe and healthy environments for students and staff. 

It's that time of year again—make sure you know as soon as our schools are on delay or canceled due to inclement winter weather.

We are excited to launch our new district and school websites so our families, staff and community can better learn about the great things going on in our schools and find the information they need.

We are thrilled to have the opportunity to have Phyllis Ferguson, president of local non-profit Partners For Early Learning (PFEL) be our district's winner of the 2019 Community Leadership Award honoree of Southeast Washington Association of School Administrators (SEWASA).

We will welcome our developmental preschool students on Sept. 9 and our ECEAP students on Sept. 16.
