During the week of November 18-22, RJ Richey Elementary is having dress up days showing what we are thankful for this Thanksgiving.

The students collected more than 1,200 pairs of socks during the month of October! We are so proud of our students and thankful for the donations we were able to make to Weakday Ministries.

Come have fun with family, exercise and help the community!!

The Spirit award is given to students who help to foster the classroom atmosphere, and who are friendly to everyone in all settings. They are group leaders and helpers. The Bulldog Spirit recipient is a student who helps to create a positive class and school environment for everyone. We are so proud of the leaders we have at RJ Richey.

Our leadership team at RJ Richey has decided to change when our school holds awards assembleis and at what frequency they occur for the 2019-20 school year.

Burnet CISD has transitioned to a new student information system provided by Skyward. The Skyward Family/Student Access for viewing attendance and grades is now live! Skyward Family/Student Access is a free service and is available to all parents and guardians of students enrolled in the Burnet Consolidated Independent School District. Skyward Family Access replaces the TxEIS Parent Portal. Family/Student Access is a secure internet-based website allowing parents and guardians easy access in tracking their student's progress. This new service will continue to allow viewing of student's attendance, assignments, grades, and schedule.

As a reminder, a new volunteer application must be completed. We will begin accepting volunteer applications for the 2019-2020 school year beginning July 1, 2019.

Congratulations to Mel Schilling, RJ Richey's September Gem! Mel is our amazing registrar who always goes the extra mile to ensure everyone has what they need. At the beginning of the school year she had to reload all of our students into class placements with very little notice and a quick turn around. She accomplished this in record time with no disruption to the flow of registering new and returning students. Her efforts are noticed and greatly appreciated by all who work with her.
