Richmond R-XVI School District

September 14, 2021 Dear Spartan Families, We are excited about the great start to our 2021 football season! In an effort to make Richmond High School home football games fun, exciting, and safe for all fans, the following rule will be in effect for the rest of the season: All fans, 8th grade and under MUST be accompanied by an adult when entering the stadium. The student must stay with the adult during the duration of the game. Any student who is dropped off without an adult will not be admitted into the game. These new changes will help the fans enjoy the festivities, while workers of the event can safeguard all those involved, and that the players, band members, officials, and cheerleaders can make it to the field/locker rooms in a timely fashion. We thank you for your continued support of the Richmond R-XVI Athletics. Sincerely, Matt Habermehl Richmond R-XVI School District Activities Director https://5il.co/yznn

Local law enforcement and the Richmond High School administration have investigated reports of threats made late last night via social media. The threats were rumored to be about potential violence at the high school. It was quickly determined to not be credible. We wish to reassure our families that we have continued to conduct school, in part, because of the effectiveness of the investigative work by our Richmond Police Department and the Ray County Sheriff’s Department. In an abundance of caution, today there is an increased presence of Richmond Police at the high school. As earlier reported, no tangible threat to any school or student has been confirmed as a result of the social media post. The police investigation is continuing. Please do not hesitate to contact your child's school principal or our superintendent's office if you have questions regarding school and student safety. The phone number for RHS is 816-776-2226.
