Visiting Siblings?
Have grandchildren or great friends in different programs at RMS? No problem!
You're welcome to join us for both mornings, or we can help you plan a visit that includes everyone.
We do kindly ask that visits with our youngest students, Toddler and Primary, take place on November 25. Our older students are better able to navigate the excitement of saying hello and goodbye, so this helps us make the experience enjoyable for everyone.
Need help planning your visit? Contact Cathleen Stepp at (804) 741-0040, ext. 49, or cstepp@richmont.org. We're happy to help!
