Rissler parents, the school year is just around the corner! If you intend to send lunch with your child, plan a School Lunch Date before school starts so you can teach them to open all their lunch items. This will also prevent adult contact with your child's lunch - especially important this upcoming school year!

Renovations at Rissler Elementary are gearing up and the offices have been cleared out, including the phone system. If you need anything, please email Mrs. Otto at totto@trentonr9.k12.mo.us or Mrs. Todd at atodd@trentonr9.k12.mo.us. Thank you!

New Rissler Office Hours due to statewide stay-at-home order: Monday’s from 9-11am. Any other questions may be emailed to totto@trentonr9.k12.mo.us.

Rissler parents: If you would like a printed packet for your child to work on at home, they will be available outside the main doors at Rissler Elementary in the newspaper stands provided by Trenton Republican Times. Please remember, these packets are not required, but supplemental work to keep your child engaged in learning until we return to school. We ask that you pick up packets one at a time if multiple people are trying to access the stands, similar to the car pick-up line after school, to maintain social distancing requirements. Packets are for an entire week, and will be filled with the new week's work on Mondays. Stands will be replenished each day with copies of that week's packets, as well as sanitized. If you have any questions or need to arrange for pick-up of any other items, please email totto@trentonr9.k12.mo.us. Thank you Republican time for your generous contribution! Bulldog proud❤️
