Many parents are at our school each week and we appreciate their help and support. All parents and other visitors to school are expected to check-in at the office when they arrive at school and wear a visitor badge during their stay.  Parents are asked to communicate with their child's teacher regarding their interest in visiting classrooms during the school day. While visiting your child's classroom, please be sure that cell phones and pagers are turned off. Drop-in visits to meet with the teacher, deliver materials to a student or observe the classroom can be disruptive to the learning process and are discouraged.

Students not enrolled in Richards School are not allowed to attend classes unless special permission is granted by the administration.

If parents need to deliver materials, lunch or messages to their child, we ask that they leave the items/messages at the office. Announcements are made daily at the end of the morning and afternoon sessions and students will be called to the office at those times. In emergencies, students may also be called from class immediately for materials/messages. 

All classrooms are locked after the teachers have left for the day, so if a student forgets books/supplies it is important to return to school as soon as possible.   Custodians may not be available to unlock classrooms for students/parents during afterschool hours.
