Elementary Teacher

The Richey School District is seeking a full-time Elementary teacher.

We may also have coaching positions available as well.  Our sport programs are 6 man football, volleyball, cross country, basketball, cheerleading, track and golf.

We have affordable school housing for classroom staff which includes 3 houses and 7 apartments starting at $350 per month! Utilities are included with staff housing, tenants just need to pay for internet services. We are halfway through remodeling all of our staff housing options as well, primarily in the kitchen areas. 

Our staff receives free breakfast and lunch.

Oil revenue has enabled us to generously offer district commitment and retention bonuses over the past several years.  So long as we are able, it is the intent of the board to continue this. We have also adopted a new salary schedule to align with the STARS act. 

Class sizes range from 2 - 8 students. Most elementary classes are in combined rooms (only 2 classes together). 

Smartboards, or smart tvs, are in each classroom. All staff members are given a school laptop. Students in grades K-8 are given a chromebook, and high school students are given a windows laptop that they are able to take with them upon graduating. We have an on site technology support person to troubleshoot any problems that arise. Infinite Campus is used for our student information system.  It gives parents access to their child's grades, lunch accounts and more.

We offer full time kindergarten and part time preschool.

Richey School currently has a 4-day school week.  We currently employ 12 certified staff and 9 classified staff.  Our current elementary enrollment is 50 and the high school is 24 and we have a 4-person school board.

Richey is a small school with rock solid community support.  We pride ourselves on our academics and strive toward student success.  We start our youth early and offer a school funded preschool program to our local 3 and 4 year olds.

We have an extremely successful FFA program and have had several state officers.  Our sports teams are in a co-op with Lambert Schools.  We are the R&L Fusion, and we've seen  many of our teams advance to post season competition and have acquired several state trophies.

The Richey area is rural, with agriculture being our main economic driver.  Beef cattle and small grains are our main commodities, with peas and lentils, as well as canola and safflower also starting to become popular.

Our area is blessed with many varied outdoor opportunities.  Hunting and fishing are very popular here, and we are not far from Fort Peck Dam and the Yellowstone and Missouri Rivers. We also have a few local dams available for recreational activities only a few miles outside of town. 

The community of Richey has 4 churches (Catholic, Christian and Missionary Alliance, Lutheran, and Methodist), a full service bank, a cafe, a hardware and grocery store with lumber yard, a grain elevator and fertilizer/chemical plant, a gas station with complete shop, as well as a restaurant/bar. 

Richey is at the far north edge of Dawson County.  Glendive is our county seat and is about 45 miles away.
