Cell Phone Changes
Parents and Students, Missouri law has changed to restrict students from using cell phones between 8am and 3pm during the school day. We are currently working on what that is going to look like for this coming year.
K-5 nothing will change. Children with cell phones will leave them turned off in their backpacks to be stored at the back of the classroom between 8am and 3pm.
6-12 will be different. We are ordering YONDR pouches and any student who wants to have their cell phone at school will have to purchase a pouch for $30 from the school. The student will place the phone in their pouch upon coming into the building and snap it shut. The pouch may be opened using a special release that staff monitoring exits as students leave the building will be holding.
All students 6-12 who have a phone in the building will be required to keep it in a pouch between 7:56am and 3:05pm. No exceptions. Students who have a medical need documented by a 504 Plan or IEP will be eligible for a medical pouch that will allow their phone to communicate with their medical device.
Students who are caught with a phone out of the pouch will have it taken away and held until a parent or guardian can pick it up during school hours. Additional consequences will apply for each infraction.
Driving students may leave their phone in their car between 8am and 3pm. This means students will not be allowed to visit their vehicles between 8am and 3pm. Any work or materials left in cars will be considered missing or late and can be turned in after school or the next day.
We will have more information and guidance on this as we get closer to the first day of school. We will post notice as soon as YONDR pouches are available for purchase.
On a personal note, my daughter’s school has been using these for a couple of school years now. She is going to be a junior and she loves it. She said there are less distractions during class and less drama from kids snapping and texting each other during the day. She has chosen to leave her phone at home rather than mess with the pouch on a daily basis.

Attention all JH volleyball! Coach Stephanie Cameron is wanting to make sure that she has contacts for anyone wanting to play JH volleyball this fall. If you, or someone you know is interested in playing this fall and are not currently on the Rich Hill JH volleyball Band app., please contact Stepanie Cameron. If you have any other questions, or need help getting on the band app contact Coach Green at dgreen@richhill.k12.mo.us and he can help you get in contact with the Coach.
Due to schedule conflicts, band camp has been moved to 3:30-4:30 on Tuesday and Thursday. Don't forget your instruments! You will need to come in through the gate and use the back door but you must park in the north lot and walk around. We will meet in the auditorium.
Remember: Band Camp this week, Tuesday and Thursday at 6:00 PM. Due to summer cleaning, we will be in the auditorium. Bring your instrument!

A big congratulations to Mrs. Amanda Breckenridge for earning the 2025-2026 Central Regional Teacher of the Year! This recognition is well deserved due to her hard work and dedication to the students of Rich Hill. She will now compete for Missouri Teacher of the Year, which will be announced in October. Congratulations, Mrs. Breckenridge!
Band meeting at the old HS tomorrow @ 2:30 for the parade. If you do not have your instrument meet me at the school @ 2:00 to get it. I will have the music and percussion instruments.
Band will rehearse for the parade Tuesday at 6:00 PM in the band room. You will need to use the gate and back entrance as the front hall is closed. Incoming 8th-12th graders are requested to attend and participate in the parade. Final decision based on attendance!
Attention Summer School Parents: This is a friendly reminder that if your child misses any day within a given week, they will not be eligible to attend the Thursday field trip during that week. As all staff will be participating in the field trips, please keep your child at home if they are not eligible to attend.
Each year, the Rich Hill Alumni Association inducts a retired teacher into the Rich Hill Teacher Hall of Fame. Votes are collected in person at the alumni banquet, and this year we've added a digital survey as well. Graduates will have the opportunity to vote for one of three nominated teachers, and will then nominate their own choice of teacher to be included in next year's vote. A list of past recipients is included in the survey. The award recipient will be announced in the summer of 2026. Voting is set to close on July 1.

This is Superintendent Kevin Goddard with an important announcement from the Rich Hill School District regarding summer school and bus transportation. It is not too late to attend summer school. Any child going into kindergarten through 8th grade can enroll on Monday, June 2 at the elementary office. There will be 3 bus routes, East, West, and Town. Two of us will be new drivers, so please be patient as we learn the routes. Route times will be close to the normal year times although the first day may be a little slow. I will be driving the Foster route and will be in Foster at about 6:55am give or take 5 minutes. I will also back along walnut and park streets around 7:25 and pick up students south of the elementary between 7:30 and 7:35. Again, please be patient on the first day and watch for the bus within a fifteen minute window of what you are used to. Thank you and have a great weekend!
