This year RES is working towards most paperwork being accessible online. Below you will find a link for one of the first online forms. This information helps RES become eligible for programing.
Here is the online link:

Also, please be on the lookout for an email that will allow you to create a PowerSchool account. Once created, this is where you will be completing the student update form. This is very important so we have accurate and updated student information. If you require a paper form for the household income or the PowerSchool update, please reach out to Trish Muir, Administrative Assistant @ (802) 848-7453. Thank you.

Clarification for LEAPS Summer Camp Families:

There is NO change to the hours or weeks planned for LEAPS summer camps. We will continue to transport middle schoolers and EES youth from sending schools to summer camp and back. Families from Enosburg attending the EFMHS camp have been notified directly about their transportation changes.

In observance of Independence Day, LEAPS Camp is closed tomorrow, July 4th. This was a previously scheduled day off.

Please read this important update regarding federal funding which will have an immediate impact on our LEAPS summer programs.

As the 2024/2025 school year ends, we wanted to showcase the incredible opportunities and celebrations our students and staff in the Enosburgh-Richford UUSD had during this year (Cold Hollow Career Center, Enosburg Elementary, Enosburg Falls Middle and High, Richford Elementary, and Richford Junior-Senior High)! https://youtu.be/_LP_U4OfjrA

Building a Respectful School Community: Our New Code of Conduct What's Happening? Our school district is creating new rules and expectations that will be the same at all schools. A team of teachers and principals wrote the first version, and now we want to hear from you before we make it final for the new school year. What is a Code of Conduct? Think of it as a handbook that explains how we should all treat each other at school. It covers students, teachers, staff, and families—everyone who is part of our school community. Why Do We Need This? When everyone knows what respectful behavior looks like, good things happen: Students learn better There are fewer problems and conflicts Kids learn important life skills like kindness and problem-solving Everyone feels safe and welcome at school What Makes This Different? Instead of just having a list of "don't do this," our Code of Conduct focuses on the positive things we want to see: Being kind and understanding to others Taking responsibility for our actions Working together to solve problems Our Goal We want our schools to be places where every person—whether you're a kindergartner or a high school senior, a parent or a teacher—feels respected, valued, and supported. How You Can Help We need your input! Please read through the draft Code of Conduct and share your thoughts using the feedback form. Your voice matters in creating a school environment where everyone can thrive.
