Handbook

Dear Richfield Public School District Families,

This Handbook is essential as it outlines the rights and responsibilities necessary for supporting the educational success of students in Richfield Public Schools. Everyone in our community plays a role in ensuring safety, responsibility and kindness. The handbook includes expectations for student behavior, adult responsibilities in teaching these expectations, and measures to enhance school safety. Our goal is to create and maintain a fair, equitable and supportive school environment.

We believe students learn best through:

• Clear, consistent and developmentally appropriate expectations
• Strong relationships
• Ongoing family engagement and partnership

As we begin the school year, rest assured that everyone in our District is committed to providing a welcoming, caring and inclusive environment where every student feels a deep sense of belonging. Our aim is for students to be engaged, academically challenged and prepared socially, emotionally and behaviorally. It is crucial that we all work together to ensure the success of our students. Please use this handbook as a guide to understanding our expectations and discussing them with your child.

Sincerely,

Dr. Steven Unowsky, Superintendent
