Russellville School District

Due to increased Covid-19 cases, the Russellville School Board voted to transition to virtual learning (AMI) for 2 school days (Thursday, January 13 and Friday, January 14). This will allow for more intensive cleaning and disinfection while our current isolated and quarantined staff/students are at home. Meals will be sent home for both days with all students Wednesday afternoon. RSD is out for MLK Jr Day on Monday, January 17. School on campus will resume on Tuesday, January 18, 2022. The current mask requirements are still in place for Wednesday, January 12.

Congratulations to our January Students and Staff Members of the month! We are so proud of you! https://youtu.be/xyM26Azp2hE

From River Valley Food 4 Kids: It's that time of year for our Holiday Handout!! This year, we will be requesting an additional document *per child* beyond your photo ID. These additional documents help us better collect school district data for grants that we are applying for. If your child is not of school age, you can reach out and we will make sure that all of your children are taken care of over the Holiday Break. This Distribution will take place at our Warehouse (407 N El Paso). This handout will be at our CURRENT facility... not our new one. Similar to last year, you will remain in your vehicle until we have gotten you registered and parked for you to come and pick out which foods you would like to cover the entirety of your child's Holiday Break. Have questions? Don't hesitate to reach out!

Mark your calendars for Christmas Break beginning with a one hour early dismissal next Friday, December 17! School will be out Monday, December 20 through Friday, December 31, with students and staff returning on Monday, January 3rd! Merry Christmas!
