Rayville Police Chief Willie Robinson would like to address going back to school.

Richland Parish schools will open for the 2020-2021 school year for students Aug.26.

“We here at Rayville Police Department are looking forward to a great year working with the schools in our area,” he said. “As we all know with COVID-19 still very prevalent in our area, this school year will be very different from years past. We will all be entering the 2020- 2021 will the ‘new normal’ protocols in place. These protocols have been put into place for not only the students of the Richland Parish School System, but also for everyone that is exposed to a child from our school system.” 

At this time, the Richland Parish Schools will be opening under Phase 2 of the opening plan. This, once again, is for the health and safety of everyone. You can view the requirements for all the phases at http://rich1and.k12.1a.us/documents/20200709-Parent Letter-2020_Strong_Start_School_Reopening.pdf.

Chief Robinson asks that these next few weeks prior to school reopening that parents talk to their children about the importance of hand washing, social distancing, and wearing a mask. Please use this time before school to ready your child to be able to use a mask effectively.

“If we all work together, we can make this a great school year and we will all be able to watch our children flourish,” he said.
