In an effort to improve our schools, the Leon County School District is conducting a 2024 Spring Parent/Guardian Climate Survey. We value your opinion and ask that you please take the time to complete this survey based upon your experiences at your child’s school. If you have children at multiple school sites (example – one child in elementary school and one child in high school), we respectfully ask that you complete one survey for each school. If your children attend Ft. Braden or Woodville K – 8 School you only need to complete one survey.
Registration is open for the City of Tallahassee Parks and Recreation Department’s youth winter sports.

Calling all Leon County parents! We’re seeking valuable input from the community, particularly from parents invested in the education of their children. As part of this important initiative, we’ve partnered with BowStern Marketing Communications to gather as much information as possible. Please complete this 5-minute survey to provide your perspective. The survey closes at midnight on 10/22/23. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/NKGF5TY
As Americans living in the melting pot of the world, nearly all of us have a connection to the global community, as well as to past and current events happening around the world. These connections may cause us to feel strongly one way or the other with regard to global conflicts, such as the ones presently occurring in the Middle East, Ukraine, and elsewhere. Our students are witnessing the division on all sides, and of course have their own opinions and reflections.
Today, a stun gun was discovered in a student's backpack. There was not a threat to the safety and security of our campus. No one was injured and the situation was resolved quickly. Parents and law enforcement were notified.
We will continue to be vigilant and committed to keeping our campus safe.

As you are aware, our school will be closed tomorrow as we brace for any possible impacts caused by Hurricane Idalia. Our district has also made the decision to keep schools closed on Thursday, August 30 too.
Once the storm passes, LCS staff will evaluate any impact to our schools and make a determination for school operations on Friday.

After student dismissal today, a student reported that he saw what was later determined to be a broken, empty, BB gun in his peer’s backpack. Administration acted quickly to retrieve the BB gun. There were no threats to any students or staff during the ordeal. School administrators, District Safety and Security along with the Tallahassee Police Department worked quickly and cohesively to resolve the incident.
It’s time! Come out to John G. Riley on Friday to register your kindergarteners!

Dear Parent or Guardian:
COVID-19 is a respiratory illness spread mainly from person-to-person through respiratory droplets which are produced when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks. These droplets can land in the mouths and noses of people who are nearby or possibly be inhaled into the lungs. COVID-19 may be spread by people who are not showing symptoms which is why keeping exposed individuals separated from others is important. Symptoms may appear several days after exposure to the

This is a meet and greet orientation and not a time for conferences. If you would like to schedule a conference please email your child's teacher. "Growing. Stronger. Better."
The following message was sent by Superintendent Hanna on August 4, 2021:
Dear LCS Families—
In a press conference today, I shared important COVID-19 updates. I want to make sure you are fully informed and have asked our principals to send this email to all of our school Listservs.
If you need help completing or computer access to complete the online kindergarten registration, please call (850) 488-5840 to reserve your time slot. Assistance will be available July 27, 2021 (9:00 am - 11:30 am), July 28, 2021 (1:00 pm - 3:00 pm), and July 29, 2021 (9:00 am - 11:30 am).
Summer is officially here for our students, and our teachers are completing their tasks in order to finish out their year as well. We are proud of our Safe Start and equally Safe Finish and are ready to begin looking ahead to the next school year.
This past year and a half has shown that even through unprecedented challenges we are stronger when we stand together. I am extremely grateful for your support and flexibility over the past two years. I feel blessed to have been able to return to John G. Riley Elementary School, the elementary school I attended, to serve as principal. As a Riley student, I was taught that education is the key to developing who you are in life. Education is the one thing that can never be taken away.
If your child has medication in the school clinic, this is a reminder for you to pick up the medication on or before the last day of school.
Please remember that students cannot transport medications. Therefore all medication must be picked up by a parent/guardian. Medication that is not picked up by June 21st will be disposed.
We will be having Computer/Chromebook drop off days for our Digital Academy students. It will be June 9-11, from 8:30-12:00 and 1:00-3:30. You do not need an appointment. Simply drive through the Parent Drop off Loop and someone will be available to come to your car.
If you have any questions, please call 850-488-5840 someone will assist you.
We received notice that an individual tested positive for COVID-19. If your child was in a classroom with the COVID-19 positive individual, you have received a letter from Riley Elementary School.

Our phone service has been restored. Thank you for your patience and flexibility during this process.

Today we were notified of severe weather in our area. As a result, we implemented our safety procedures. Students spent about 50 minutes in their secure locations.
We are extremely proud of our students for their good behavior and patience during that extended period of time. Lunch was delayed for some classes. However, we were able to make sure all students received lunch upon receiving the all clear.

Today we received notice that an individual has tested positive for COVID-19. The contact tracing investigation determined that there were no significant exposures at Riley within 72 hours of testing. Therefore, the Department of Health will not be contacting any families as it is not necessary for any other student or staff member to quarantine at this time.
In order to streamline communications we are making a slight change to the reporting of positive on-campus Covid-19 cases. Beginning next week we will be sending out one email at the end of the day instead of the possibility of receiving multiple emails during the day.
No other protocols or procedures are being changed at this time. We continue to follow the Safe Start LCS plan approved by a community Task Force and monitored by the Covid-19 Rapid Response Team.

Dear LCS Family, First, I hope you had a wonderful Winter Holiday and enjoyed some time relaxing and doing activities other than those associated with school or your profession. This morning our Leadership Team received an update from the Leon County Department of Health on Covid-19 and the impact it had on our students and employees since we left on December 18th. In the update we were informed that 246 students (.8 percent of all students districtwide) and 58 employees (1.2 percent of all employees) either tested positive or were exposed to someone who was positive over the break and

For the James S. Rickards High School football team, the road to the FHSAA Class 5A title game during a national pandemic has been filled with challenges at every turn. Yet the Raiders continued to persevere and remained united in their unwavering belief in their coaches and in one another. It was a road never-before-traveled, but one that has taken them to a history-making destination. This Friday at 7 p.m., the Raiders will be playing for a state championship at Doak Campbell Stadium.

In times of uncertainty, unpredictability, and potentially overwhelming stress, it is especially important to deliberately pause to identify resources and activities that can help us maintain our physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Superintendent Hanna and the entire LCS family understands that the 2020-2021 school year has presented challenges to students, teachers, and families. Students are experiencing increased levels of anxiety and depression due to having to maneuver through new ways of learning and attempting to stay connected with others while also social distancing.
Information about the nation's response to the Covid-19 Pandemic can sometimes feel overwhelming. Protocols change as medical experts continue to study the virus. Their findings help identify best practices and strategies that can keep people as safe as possible during this time.
Many of you have been contacting the Leon County Department of Health with questions about our quarantine process. This week, the CDC provided an alternative quarantine schedule for individuals exposed to a confirmed positive case of Covid-19. We wanted to send this message to clarify that we will be keeping our current protocol in place for the

A significant exposure means you have been within 6 feet of a person for 15 minutes or more with or without a mask on. Anyone determined to have had a significant exposure will be told to quarantine for 14 days, regardless of whether

Thank you for your continued support of John G. Riley Elementary School. With the increased number of students returning to brick and mortar for the 2nd 9 weeks of school, we will need to make some instructional changes.

Dear Parents,
I wanted to take a moment to offer my gratitude and appreciation to you, our parents, for working with your children on the importance of wearing a mask while in school. I have spent every morning the past three weeks visiting each one of our schools and I have yet to see any student-at any school-at any level-acting irresponsibly or not wearing a mask.
