Parents/guardians of current Richland One students who will be returning to the district in August must complete the annual online Returning Student Enrollment Verification form for the 2020-2021 school year.  This includes students who are enrolled in the virtual school program.  

The online form, which is accessible through each school’s Parent Portal, gives families a quick and easy way to update their address, phone numbers and emergency contacts. Parents should also upload a current proof of address. If parents/guardians cannot upload an electronic file or log into the Parent Portal, they should contact their child's school to make other arrangements.  For more information, click:  Annual Returning Student Enrollment Verification -  Frequently Asked Questions.

Welcome to Gadsden Elementary!
We are the Gadsden Blue Jays, and we are currently transitioning into a STEAM school.  The STEAM process teaches independent innovation and encourges students to use higher levels of thinking skills.  The STEAM process and project based learning will help our students improve skills in thinking critically and creatively, and learn how to work collaboratively as a member of a team.   We are preparing today's students for tomorrow's careers. 

Building Healthier Futures
Gadsden Elementary participates in the Alliance for a Healthier Generation’s Healthy Schools Program, and we have been named one of America’s Healthiest Schools for 2019!  We received the Bronze Award for taking steps to create a healthier school environment to support children’s health.   We are one of only 355 schools to earn this honor. 

Developing Character, Enriching with AVID!
We are implementing AVID Elementary (AE) in grades 3-5.  AE is a foundational component of the AVID College Readiness System and supports AVID's mission to close the achievement gap by preparing all students for college readiness and success in a global society.
