Stay up-to-date with everything happening in RPS! Sign up for the RPS Direct, our daily newsletter straight from the desk of Superintendent Kamras!
RPS Direct is regularly distributed to over 36,000 stakeholders across the Richmond Public Schools Community, and is read by nearly 20,000 recipients daily. We welcome submissions from the Richmond community that are family-centered and geared towards children ages 0-18. External opportunities must be accessible to all families, i.e. free of cost (or offer financial assistance) and be accessible via public transportation. Events inside of Richmond are prioritized. Each event must be accompanied by a flier clearly stating the financial cost, or a website link where it is available on the home page. Additionally, content deemed appropriate for RPS Direct will typically appear in the publication one to three times, depending on the lead time, as well as a number of other factors.
Upon review, scholarship and employment opportunities for students will be featured on the RPS Opportunities Hub, which is routinely spotlighted as a resource in RPS Direct. Please forward all scholarship and employment opportunities to: opportunity@rvaschools.net.
Due to the amount of content shared and sourced via RPS Direct, most events will not run in Direct until 2-5 days prior. To have an event or community resource considered for RPS Direct, please send an email with the subject line: RPS Direct Submission to: outreach@rvaschools.net. Timing and inclusion of all submissions is at the discretion of the RPS Communications team.
