Rapid Antigen Screening Tests at RISD

 

Richardson ISD is participating in a state of Texas program that provides a limited number of rapid antigen screening tests to participating school districts. The in-school screening program will be available to employees and students who develop COVID-19 symptoms while at school during the school day. The optional screenings can be provided at no cost to students with parent consent.

The program will begin on Tuesday, December 1.  Click here to complete the student consent form online

RISD Clothes Closet Boys Underwear Drive

 

Wallace Families, the RISD Clothes Closet provides clothing for RISD students in need so that all kids can go to school in the comfort and confidence they deserve.
 
The annual boys' underwear drive, which normally happens during RHS's Homecoming, was cancelled. We are in desperate need of new boys' underwear.
 
Please consider donating before December 15th using the Amazon wish list or dropping off NEW packages of boys' underwear (sizes 4T - 16/18) at 10121 Ferndale Road in the box on the porch. 
 

Feeling Disconnected?

 

In an effort to reach more families by grade level and class, we've created an easy Google form to complete. Please take a moment to fill out the forms for your students' grade levels.
