Parent-Student Handbook
Dear Ritenour Families,
Welcome to the Ritenour School District - a district rich in tradition and dedicated to educational excellence. This handbook provides an overview of the policies and procedures for Ritenour schools. It is designed for parents and families as a means of assuring each student has a rewarding school experience. I encourage you to read all the items carefully and keep the handbook as a reference.
Our goal is for all students to be happy, safe and successful at school. In Ritenour, we believe you-- as parents and family--play a key role in your child's success. That role is to continually support your child and take an active role in his or her education. A child who knows his or her family is interested in and supports the school program almost always has fewer problems in school and enjoys greater academic success.
Ritenour schools boast academic programs that meet both Missouri and national standards. While challenging, we believe our rigorous curriculum and high expectations help students acquire the knowledge, skills and behaviors for continued success.
We believe in fair and consistent expectations that encourage students to be responsible for their actions while keeping a focus on learning. We create a safe environment where differences in customs and cultures are validated and affirmed, and respect is the norm.
Please share with your child's teacher any information regarding his or her learning needs as we support the educational growth and development of your child. We believe communication among parents, students and teachers is critical in assuring student success.
Ritenour employees strive to bring students the very best educational experiences possible. However, we understand there are times when questions or concerns may arise during the school year. Parents and students should always contact a teacher, principal or other school personnel to resolve any concern to minimize the loss of instructional time. We are committed to working together to improve student learning.
Sincerely,
Dr. Chris Kilbride Superintendent of Schools
Educational Excellence Since 1867
Mission
The mission of Ritenour School District is to ensure learning occurs in a supportive environment that enables every student to think critically, solve problems and develop the knowledge and skills necessary for success in our diverse, global society.
Vision
Ritenour School District, in partnership with parents and community, will develop leaders recognized for academic excellence and produce graduates who will become productive
citizens and lead lives of personal integrity and fulfillment.
