Richmond County Schools will join schools around the country next week to celebrate Teacher Appreciation Week, May 3 – 7, 2021.

“Teachers have faced the challenge and answered the call to support our students and families throughout in the midst of the global pandemic,” said Dr. Kenneth Bradshaw, Superintendent of Schools. “Teacher Appreciation Week is a time for us to pause and let our teachers know how much we value the work they do.”

The school system is inviting parents of students in Richmond County schools or community members who would like to recognize a Richmond County school teacher to send teachers an e-Card through an online portal the school system has set up. 

“Teachers make a difference in the lives of their students and families.  Many teachers are like family members for students,” said Dr. Malinda Cobb, Associate Superintendent of Academic Services. “We felt it was important for our parents, families and communities to be able to express their gratitude to our teachers. Thank you goes a long way.”

There are four card options available and senders can type a personal message to the teacher. The school system notes that e-cards will only be delivered to official RCBOE email accounts. The link to send a card is available now and cards will be delivered to teachers Monday, May 3 through Monday, May 10.
