Academic growth, better test scores, and higher graduation rates all hinge on attendance, especially in the early grades.

7th and 8th grade girls and boys who are interested in running cross country this fall need to have a physical on file and Rank One paperwork completed. There will be a virtual parent meeting on Thursday evening, September 11th at 7pm.

Before participating in volunteer opportunities in schools and district facilities, all RISD volunteers must complete a background check.

At the Aug. 7 Board meeting, district leaders presented an update on student performance and a preview of the upcoming 2025 accountability ratings.

For the fourth year, RISD campuses will continue to be cell phone-free schools.

Parents of enrolled RISD students may now complete forms online to qualify for free or reduced cost meals for the 2025-26 school year that begins August 12.

Congrats to the 8th Grade Girls for their win!
