Change in Rich County School calendar

The Rich School District calendar is ratified each year by the Board of Education, following input from staff and patrons. The goal is to maximize academic learning time, while meeting or exceeding the number of instructional hours, required by State Statute and State Board Rule. 

Recently, changes have occurred which affected the Utah High School Activities Association calendar. Noting those changes, it was proposed that the Rich Board of Education adjust the local calendar to reflect opportunities afforded by the change in the UHSAA calendar. 

The intent of the proposed changes was to enhance academic learning time and better facilitate scheduled school activities. Accordingly, the Rich District Calendar has been modified as follows: (1) Wednesday, March 3, will be a regular school day. (It had previously been scheduled as a non-school day.) (2) Friday, February 19, school will not be held. (It had previously been scheduled as a school day.) 

We recognize this change may be problematic for some students and families; we apologize for the inconvenience. However, in the short time we had to gather input, it appears that this change was overwhelming supported by staff and stakeholders. If you have questions or concerns, please visit with your building principal or call the district office at your convenience.
