  Mrs. Paynter's Message


It's hard to believe another school year has come to an end. It was an absolute honor to serve your family and make lasting memories with your children. My hope for each RES Bobcat is they have a wonderful summer and come back to school ready to learn and lead next year!


We hope you will join us on the last day of school, May 25th, as we celebrate our students proudest accomplishments. We will honor them with an Awards Day. Please see below for the Awards Day Schedule.


The first day of the 2023-2024 school year will be Wednesday, August 9th.  Richardsville's Open House for PreK-6th grade will be Thursday, August 3rd from 5:30-7:00pm. Class Rosters will be available at Open House.


As always, thank you for all you do to support your student and our school. We couldn't do it without our families! If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me through email (stephanie.paynter@warren.kyschools.us) or through a message on class dojo. We are destined for greatness!


It's a GREAT day to be a Bobcat!
