Did you like your Connect & Assess Meeting?

Dear RPS Families,

This year, instead of hosting our traditional open house events at the elementary schools, we implemented Connect & Assess meetings. The intent was to provide teachers and families with more one-on-one time to get to know each other and to get excited for the new school year.

We would love to know your thoughts. Did you enjoy the new format? Are there ways we can improve?

Please complete this brief survey, which will help us plan for next year’s back-to-school events. Please complete the survey by Sunday, Sept. 25.

Thank you — and we look forward to a great year together!

From the staff at:

Centennial Elementary School
The Central Education Center
Richfield Dual Language School
Richfield STEM Elementary School

Graduation Caps

The Minnesota Department of Education released the 2022 graduation rates. We are excited to share that we have made consistent gains in many areas and that Richfield High School’s four-year graduation rate (88.9%) exceeds the statewide graduation rate of 83.6% by 5.3 percentage points. 

Traffic Safety Updates

In our ongoing efforts to improve traffic safety during arrival and dismissal, we are working with the City of Richfield to install a “demonstration project” at two intersections near our schools. If you drive to pick up or drop off your child, please use extra caution during this time.

Solar at Richfield Public Schools

We are thrilled to share that we have made significant progress in our commitment to clean energy. Over the past decade, we've added 1.15 megawatts of solar across five of our schools, making us a shining example of rooftop solar for school districts.
