The Junior Class would like to thank everyone who supported the Silent Auction through donations and purchases we raised $1930 for JR-SR Prom.
Rich Hill WILL be in attendance on Wednesday, February 10. The Bates County Live website had several schools posted that had not canceled school for Wednesday and we were one of them. Please make plans to attend school on Wednesday, February 10 for seated, in-person instruction. Thank you and see you tomorrow.
Due to poor road conditions and extreme temperatures, the district will not hold in person classes tomorrow. This will be an Alternative Methods of Instruction Day. Students with a school issued chromebook will login to their classes to meet with their teacher. Elementary students will work on Day 1 of the packets sent home by their teacher and teachers will be checking in with them on their progress via email or by phone. Students may email their teacher to get help. Thank you and have a great evening.
Due to the freezing rain, low temperatures, and road conditions, Rich Hill is going to go ahead and cancel classes for today. Stay home, stay safe, and stay warm. Again, there are no classes for Rich Hill today. Thank you.
Due to the winter weather advisory extended through noon tomorrow and very cold temperatures expected, Rich Hill School District will conduct a 2 hour late start for 10am. All bus routes will be pushed back two hours from their normal time. Breakfast will still be served when student arrive at school. Please stay warm and safe in the morning. We will make further weather and cold related decisions during the course of the day Monday for the rest of the week.
Pep Assembly time!

JR/SR Prom will now take place at Faulkner Ranch on April 24.
We have had two teachers and two students test positive. We’ve quarantined students from both the elementary and the high school due to COVID19. All close contacts have been made. The school will be entering Phase Orange in the morning. We appreciate your patience as we work with health officials to meet county guidelines so we can keep school open. After missing 3 months of school last spring, we are hopeful the 9 days we haven’t had students at school this year will be the only ones. I know these times are stressful for everyone everywhere. People on all sides of the issue are frustrated and angry. We have kids coming to school telling us they are depressed, isolated, and lonely. Our counselors are working hard to meet these kids' needs. Teachers are trying to connect with kids every way possible and make them feel at home, connected, and cared for. I am proud of both the children and the staff of Rich Hill R-IV School District standing strong this year. We know school is the best place for kids to be every day and we are doing everything we can to meet kids’ needs while staying in compliance with county, state, federal, and department of education requirements. We are doing our best with the things we can control and managing our best with the things out of our control. Thank you.
Pennies for Patients starts tomorrow.
Crazy socks and flannel, and Team Thomas shirts or blue.
This is a friendly reminder that there is no school on Monday in honor of MLK Day! Enjoy the 3 day weekend and see you all Tuesday.
