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.

Starting Aug. 18, the Network mobile food pantry will stop at a handful of RISD campuses.

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.

RISD partners with organizations to offer a variety of recommendations and services to families over the summer months.
