News & Announcements

All current students attending Richmond Community Schools may now register for the upcoming 2024 - 2025 school year. We are excited to welcome back our Richmond Red Devils for another great school year. Enroll Today!

The Richmond Community School District will follow an asynchronous eLearning Day on Monday, April 8, 2024, due to the Solar Eclipse. RCS teachers have included lessons this week about this historic event and we hope that students and parents can extend the learning together during this day.

Our campus parking lots/buildings will also be closed to visitors on April 8th.

ISO-certified solar eclipse glasses will be handed out on Friday, April 5th to all RCS students. Solar eclipse glasses are thousands of times darker than traditional sunglasses. Thank you to the Wayne County Tourism Center, the Deer Family Fund, the Women's Workshop Richmond, Natco Credit Union, Main Street Richmond, and Communities In Schools for supplying all students with a pair of eclipse glasses. It is important to not use the solar eclipse glasses if they appear to be scratched or damaged. If you would like to opt out of the eclipse glasses giveaway, please contact your child's school.

During the event, the sky will darken as the Moon gradually covers the Sun, leaving only a black disc visible. At totality, the stars will be visible in the daytime sky, and the temperature may drop a few degrees, providing a fascinating and eerie experience. The eclipse will happen in our area between 1:52 p.m.- 4:24 p.m. with 3 minutes and 48 seconds of totality occurring at 3:07 p.m.

The Richmond Community School District is thrilled to announce its recent acquisition of the iconic McBride Stadium (201 NW 13th St) and the surrounding area which includes four ball fields, a move that marks a significant milestone in the district’s commitment to providing enhanced athletic facilities and fostering community engagement.

Due to foggy weather conditions, RCS will operate on a 2-hour delay Friday, February 23, 2024. Buses will run two hours later than usual.

At Richmond Community Schools, students who are identified as high-ability receive additional or differentiated enrichment services in Language Arts, Math, or both.

We wanted to inform you of an important update regarding our milk supply at Richmond Community Schools.

Yesterday, we received word of a significant power outage at our Anderson Prairie Farms milk distribution center. Unfortunately, this may disrupt our normal milk shipments until Monday. However, we want to reassure you that we have taken proactive steps to address this situation.

The Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) has provided us and other affected schools with waivers to serve milk in alternative ways during this time. Our Chartwells team is fully prepared with a plan for Friday and Monday, if necessary, to ensure that our students continue to have access to milk and other nutritious options.

We apologize for any inconvenience this temporary disruption may cause. Please rest assured that we are working diligently to minimize any impact on our students' dining experience.
