The Rich Hill Elementary was contacted this morning by Bates County Health Services that we had a staff member test positive for COVID19. BCHS worked to identify close contacts. All required staff and parents have been contacted and students have been picked up and are on quarantine. Because of staff's dedication to using masks/shields and distancing, this number was kept at a minimum. Thank you for your continued support of the school district as we try to keep kids in school as much as possible.
All families have been contacted whose students must quarantine. We start Phase ORANGE tomorrow. The football game with Jasper has been canceled. Thank you everyone that helped us get this far into the year!
The Little Cheer performance for PreK - 5th grade will take place at halftime of the JH football game on Monday, October 12, instead of tomorrow. More details regarding arrival and game time will be posted later.

We were notified today that a Rich Hill staff member has tested positive for COVID19. This individual was last at school on October 2 . The school district has notified individuals who were close contacts. The staff member was also at the Book Fair from 5:45pm to 6:15pm on Thursday. We continue to disinfect all classrooms and hallways on a daily basis. Thank you.
COVID19 Scams! Local businesses beware! We've had a couple of local businesses contact us about someone trying to get them to donate to the school to provide masks, hand sanitizer, etc. This is a scam. The school doesn't contract with anyone to operate on our behalf for donations. Over the years I've been a superintendent, the only time I find out about these scams is when a business owner asks me where the items are that they donated money for. I always feel bad that they've given money for something the school never received. Athletics is especially vulnerable to this type of scam when someone says they are providing rally towels or tshirts or something of that sort and of course we never get them or even knew about it. If in doubt about a solicitation, get a business name, call back number, and call the school and verify if the request is legitimate. COVID19 has become a perfect time for scammers to grift communities out of money!
