A Word from Our Administrator Dear Richmond Families, Important Notice This week, administration was informed about a Waukesha County community issue regarding sexting. After collaborating with Officer Dan Baumann from the Waukesha Sheriff’s Department, we would like to extend our learning to parents and ask that you speak with your children. On Wednesday, March 2, 2016, Waukesha Police became aware that minor students were using personal cell phones and computing devices to share nude photographs and explicit videos of themselves. These images were shared using the following apps: Keepsafe Photo vault Ky-calc Secret calculator Photo locker iMessage Facebook messenger Kik Snapchat Secret Vault Many of these apps appear as a calculator that when the proper code is entered, the photos are able to be accessed. Again, these images have been shared using personal devices such as smartphones and personal computers. These images have been captured during non-school time and not on school property. As a result of this information and in cooperation with the Waukesha Police Department, the district is asking families to keep an eye on the personal devices of their children. In addition, Richmond School counselors are also addressing this issue with students during 5th-8th grade guidance classes. We hope that with the proper education and discussion of this serious offense, our students will make safe choices with their technology devices. Celebration Congratulations! We are pleased to announce that two of our Richmond students, Chance Harrison and CJ Zehner, have been selected as finalists in the 2015-2016 Creativity Connects the World Art Exhibition! Their artwork showed a true connection to the theme, had stunning visual appeal, presented age- appropriate critical thinking, and responded to the theme with originality.

MATH
ACCELERATION
At Richmond, students considered for math
acceleration are in the top 2% of the population in
advanced thinking and mathematics abilities.
Students considered for acceleration must have
participated in differentiation math activities in
the regular classroom and worked on extension
work with Mrs. Held. This does not mean that if a
child worked with Mrs. Held on some math
extensions, he/she is a candidate for acceleration.
Most of our students will have their needs met
with differentiation and small group extending
but NOT acceleration. Mrs. Held and the
classroom teachers have been communicating
regarding possible candidates. Parents will be
contacted by March 8th, if their child is being
considered. At that time, parents will be asked to
complete an inventory and must give permission
for testing. If your child was part of the process
previously and was declined, and you feel that
he/she should be considered again, please
communicate with Mrs. Held. Parents have the
option to submit a referral form for their child.
Please read carefully all the guidelines and
requirements BEFORE you submit a referral form.
The referral form (on the GT ED webpage link
above) must be submitted to Mrs. Held, by
March, 15th. Please contact Mrs. Held, GT
Coordinator, if you have any questions at
