Today we are featuring Mrs. Zetocha, FACS teacher at Richland Jr/Sr High School. Mrs. Zetocha instructs essential life skills to students in grades 7-12 and also runs our FCCLA organization and important programs like Secret Grandparents. Thank you for continuing to strengthen our fantastic FACS program, Mrs. Zetocha!

Kendra Dockter is today's staff feature! Kendra is our dedicated business manager, having served almost her entire career here. She keeps us in compliance and helps oversee district finances. Kendra is also a mentor to other business managers in the state. Thank you for your dedication to Richland #44, Kendra!

Tomorrow is an inclement weather makeup day. To prioritize in-person learning, our guidelines are to first use makeup days and then transition to virtual learning, if needed. There will be no school on Friday April 18 or Monday April 21.

Best of luck to the Speech participants competing at the NSDA meet today and tomorrow in Bismarck!

💛💙👏Congrats to the Richland #44 Speech team members who competed at the regional competition on Saturday. These students gave it their all!! 5 students have advanced and will be competing at the state tournament at the end of April! Cora - Extemp and Radio Emma - Dramatic Lily & Emma - Serious Duo Grayson - Humorous Lucy - Serious Prose Way to go, Colts!!

We will have a 2-hour late start, Thursday April 3, to allow more time to clear snow-covered roads. Buses will run on a 2-hour delay. AM activities are cancelled.

There will be no school today due to forecasted snowfall. We will make it up on Thursday April 17. Be safe!

It's time for another staff feature! We are excited to welcome Mr. Bakke to our staff this year as our Jr/Sr high school social studies teacher. In addition to teaching all social studies classes at the high school, Mr. Bakke is one of our high school football coaches. We are grateful for his willingness to help out wherever is needed and for the energy he brings to our school.
