Richland School District will begin our Continuity of Education Plan (CEP) on Wednesday, April 1st.  Parents and students should expect communication from the teachers via Google Classroom and/or email communication.  If you are not receiving any type of communication, please attempt to email your teachers via the school website.
 
Please note that RSD will be using asynchronous learning while delivering instruction online.  Asynchronous learning occurs when the teacher and the pupils interact in different places and during different times. Students enrolled in asynchronous courses are able to complete their work when convenient to them.

On Monday, March 23, Gov. Tom Wolf announced that all K-12 Pennsylvania schools will be closed for an additional two weeks. While schools will now be closed until at least April 6, the Richland School District is now implementing a remote learning plan for our students.

 

If you are not receiving our district emails, please call our IT Support office at 814-266-6063 x9500 or email keasler@richlandsd.com for assistance.

 

We’re still trying to identify students who will need a device at home. We are prepared to provide a Chromebook to any students, as well as provide assistance to families with Internet access issues. If your child already has a computer at home (laptop, Chromebook, tablet, iPad), that will work with our plan and you do not need to sign up. Please fill out this form if you require a device at home. Atlantic Broadband is committed to assisting our residents with free and reduced-cost Internet access during this time.  Click here for more information from Atlantic Broadband.

 

Meals are being provided for all students who meet the eligibility for free and reduced meals while schools are closed. Please complete the form by clicking here to request meals.
