Weather at Your School
Students had an exciting and memorable experience when the WPTZ Weather at Your School team visited Richmond Elementary on Friday, March 13th. Students were thrilled to step into the spotlight and help deliver live weather reports during the morning newscast. Following the broadcast, the team spent time with fourth graders, learning about how students are developing their voices as active citizens. Through Project Citizen, students are researching local issues, collaborating with peers, and proposing thoughtful solutions to make a positive impact in their community.

Parent/Caregiver Insight for 26-27 Placement
It is hard to believe, but soon we will begin planning for next school year! we want to share a bit about our student placement process. Our team—classroom teachers, specialists, support staff, and administrators—works thoughtfully to create balanced, supportive learning environments for every child.
Family input is an important part of this process. If you would like to share insights about your child as a learner, please consider completing this optional My Child as a Learner form by April 10th (one per student). While we value your input, final placement decisions are made by the school team, as we consider many factors to best support all students.
