Dear Rich Township Families,

We are wrapping up our third full week of the academic year, and I am thrilled to see our students settling in with enthusiasm and curiosity. The engagement and support from our community continue to be the cornerstone of our success.

Please note that the school will be closed this coming Monday in observance of Labor Day, providing a well-deserved break for our students and staff

Cashless Events with GoFan

We are excited to announce that beginning this school year, all ticket purchases for athletic and activity events will be handled through GoFan, moving us to a cashless system. This change aims to streamline your experience and ensure a smoother entry to events. Please visit our website for complete details on how to purchase tickets and gain access to events using GoFan. Thank you for embracing this new approach.

Communication Update

We are considering the addition of 'Rooms,' a feature within our district app designed to enable secure, two-way messaging between families and the school. This would centralize our communications, making interactions more efficient and accessible. To better understand its potential impact, we value your input.
