Happy New Year
Dear RPS Families,
The 2022-23 school year is well underway and I’m proud of all the accomplishments our students have made so far.
- There are early indicators of strong academic growth across all grade levels.
- We have seen improvements in the social-emotional growth of our students.
- Our athletes have competed at both regional and state levels.
- Student artists have taken home awards in a number of areas.
I am looking forward to the new calendar year and the second half of our school year with all that we can accomplish together. Richfield Public Schools are and will remain a great place for every individual to learn, grow and excel.
Best wishes for the new year,
Superintendent Steven Unowsky
