Due to road conditions and low hanging, ice covered trees, there will be no school on Wednesday. With low temperatures and more snow moving into the area, Thursday is doubtful, but a final decision will be made tomorrow afternoon. Administration, custodial and maintenance, and secretaries report from 9am to 2pm.
Classes and all activities are canceled for Tuesday, January 7, 2025 due to the condition of roads and extreme temperatures.

We have a sub driver who is going to fill in until our regular driver can return which will bring us back to four routes starting tomorrow morning, Friday the 8th. Routes will adjust and become shorter so we are advising parents to send their children to the bus stop 10 to 15 minutes LATER than normal. Evening drop offs will also adjust to an earlier time since routes will be shorter. Thank you for your patience and pick up and drop off times should stabilize by the end of next week.

Homecoming Parade Route....
1:50pm start time
Parents, we apologize for the inconvenience, but due to circumstances beyond our control, we will have to switch back to 3 routes starting tomorrow.
This is an important announcement from the Rich Hill School District. On Monday, we will begin running 4 routes again. This will continue for 6 weeks. We will do our best to have someone trained to take over the 4th route at the end of 6 weeks. If we cannot get someone trained, we will have to return to 3 routes. On Monday, please be patient as bus drivers adjust their routes. Pickup and dropoff times may change some so please make sure to watch for your bus Monday morning.
Little Cheer will perform at half time.
The rock bleachers, sand pile, back of the old gym, and chainlink fence has been infested with red and yellow and black wasps. The area has been treated multiple times, but not all areas have been eliminated. Please keep children with you when they are not cheering.
For safety reasons, golf carts will only be allowed into the stadium to go to a purchased Booster Club spot or to drop off a disabled individual with a chair or at the bleachers and then leave the stadium.
The year is off to a great start in the elementary school!! A few reminders to help things run as smoothly as possible: Each morning, students being dropped off need to wait in vehicles until the doors open at 7:35 am. Walkers should not arrive at the school until 7:35 am, as there is no adult supervision outside. Students who are eating breakfast at school need to be at school by 7:40 am. Class begins at 7:56 am. At the end of the day, the one-way pick-up line is working great. Thank you for helping keep students safe by staying in your vehicle and pulling through the line as your child is called to load. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated. Thanks for sharing your children with us!!!
Well, the first week is down! Even though it was only 3 days, I think everyone is ready for the weekend. Thank you to all the parents who started transporting their children to and from school. This has helped with bus crowding tremendously.
Please note that Homecoming is early this year. It will be on September 20 against Appleton City. The TShirt order form is attached to this message. You only have 6 days to get your order in. Order forms will be sent home with elementary students today.
Finally, it is with regret that we cancel JH Football this year. With only 8 players out for the team, we felt that the risk of injury or having to forfeit a game if a player cannot take the field is too high to continue. The boys and cheerleaders are obviously disappointed. The boys were offered the opportunity to serve as managers for Varsity so they can help on the sidelines and become a part of team culture. Cheerleaders will continue to practice as they prepare for basketball season and will be involved in Little Cheer. We anticipate a large number of boys out for JH Football next year, so we are optimistic this is a one-year problem.
Thanks for sending us your amazing kids every day! Have a great weekend!
Missouri has been approved to administer Summer EBT 2024. This program is a dedication and commitment between the lead agency, the Department of Social Services (DSS), along with DESE. Summer EBT provides Missouri children who are eligible for free and reduced-price school meals the opportunity to receive critical nutrition benefits. Households who need to apply can submit the application online (https://www.healthytogether.co/onboarding/missouri-sun-bucks) by August 31, 2024. Families can use the Missouri SuN Bucks Eligibility (https://mydss.mo.gov/sunbucks-eligibility) to see if they need to complete an application.
Families with children who meet the criteria will receive an EBT card by mail, or the benefit will be added to their existing EBT card. Criteria for automatic eligibility includes:
The household already participates in SNAP or Temporary Assistance; including extended eligible household members, or
The child is age 7-17 and in foster care, homeless, a migrant, or
The child attends a school that offers the National School Lunch or School Breakfast Program and the household income meets the requirements for free or reduced-price school meals.
