Military Families
Welcome Military Families to Richland Upper Elementary School!
We are very excited to have you and your family at RUES. We are here to support you and your child in enrolling. Supporting Military Families is important to our school for many reasons but most importantly, for our military students. We understand the importance of community support, especially at times of a loved one's deployment. We are aware of the military community here in Rankin County, and would love to be a resource for your family.
We would love for you to click here to follow our Richland Upper Elementary page on facebook. https://www.facebook.com/RUESRANGERS
Please feel free to contact us should you have any questions.
Thank you,
Mrs. Elizabeth Owens, School Counselor
Mrs. Jackye Shepherd, Web Master
