Richmond Reporter - Richmond School

Richmond Reporter A Word From Our Administrator Dear Richmond Parents, Richmond School will be creating a new parent blog. This blog will be known as the “Richmond Best Practice Blog.” The purpose is to share with parents academic and personal/social/behavioral best practices used in school. This will provide parents the opportunity to reinforce school strategies at home. The school will host the blog and provide content on a bi-monthly basis. Watch for a link to the blog in newsletters. The blog will be placed on the webpage under the parent tab. Our first blog is set to be available on October 30th. I would also like to welcome three new staff members to Richmond School. Please welcome the following:
