Information about the online course, "Connected: How to Show Up For Your Kids in the Digital Age" available free to RPS families through the Spark & Stitch Institute.

This update includes important dates for the transition of PK-5 students to the hybrid learning program. 

If you have a child starting preschool or kindergarten next fall, we invite you to learn more about our schools and why Richfield is a great place for your child to learn, grow and excel!

At last night’s school board meeting, we recommended a return to hybrid learning for students in grades PK-5 effective Monday, January 25. This applies only to those students who were previously enrolled in the hybrid program. Please carefully review this detailed information if this transition applies to your child.

"For Brittany Anderson, a kindergarten teacher at Sheridan Hills Elementary School in Richfield, the challenges of teaching online have been immense, but she has found ways to make it work."

Following the guidance from Governor Walz last week, we will remain in distance learning when we return from break, but we anticipate transitioning back into hybrid learning for students in grades PK-5 shortly after.

To help ensure you receive information about programs and resources for your family, including events and activities at school, we are moving to an e-flyer system called Peachjar.

We're partnering with the Spark & Stitch Institute to offer a series of webinars for RPS families: Parenting in a Pandemic, The Science of Motivation and Showing Up For Your Kids in the Digital Age.

We are excited to welcome you and your child to Richfield Public Schools! Start the enrollment process today.
