2019-2020 Richland Elementary Handbook & Program of Studies

We believe that our primary schools provide the best
beginning for a child’s schooling. Our goal is for each
student to reach proficiency or beyond by the end of third
grade and be a curious, capable, and confident learner.
The school staff and community strive to work together
to maintain a warm, caring, and safe family-oriented
environment for our students.
The purpose of the Student Handbook is to give school
district students and their parents/guardians an
understanding of the general rules and guidelines for
attending school and for receiving an education in our
schools.
In a case of conflict between a board policy and the
provisions of this handbook, the board policy most
recently adopted by the board will prevail.
Students and parents/guardians should be aware this
document is reviewed annually yet policy adoption and
revision is an ongoing process. These changes will generally supersede the provisions found in the handbook, which
will become obsolete by the newly adopted policy. The handbook is not a contract between the school and
parents/guardians or students. It can be amended at any time at the discretion of the administration and the district.
If policy changes are enacted during the school year, the administration will communicate those changes to students,
staff, and parents/guardians.
The information contained in this student handbook is provided for informational purposes, and is not intended to
replace or deviate from any current Board Policy or the Pine-Richland School District Discipline Code. In the event of
any conflict between any provision in this handbook and the terms of the discipline code or any board policy, the
terms in the discipline code and/or board policy will control and take precedent. All students and parents are strongly
encouraged to review the discipline code and the board policy manual, each of which are available for viewing on the
District’s website at www.pinerichland.org.
Please review this handbook carefully and contact the school office if you have any questions.
