We are proud to announce that Michelle Clark, Special Education Teacher, has been named Randolph Elementary’s Teacher of the Year!
In the words of her peers...
"Whenever you pass by a room with Michelle Clark in it, you can always hear her engaging with students. While the conversation is often rich with academic language and explicit instruction, you’ll occasionally hear her students excitedly sharing pieces of their personal lives. Michelle uses those moments to build strong, lasting relationships that extend far beyond her time with those students and their families."
"Michelle truly cares about her students and holds them to high standards—and she does the same with her colleagues. Many rely on her special education expertise, frequently seeking her input. She is a wealth of knowledge and is always willing to brainstorm ideas, discuss a child’s needs, or support her collaborative colleagues in any way she can."
"Michelle consistently goes above and beyond in everything she does. She is dedicated not only to her students, but to the entire RES community. She does an incredible job organizing and creating the yearbook, and still finds time to motivate staff through positive messages and holiday-themed secret gift exchanges. Michelle’s enthusiasm for education is truly contagious."
Please join us in celebrating this well-deserved honor!

Due to the forecast for winter weather, Goochland County Public Schools will be closed tomorrow, December 8th. Current predictions indicate snowfall beginning in the early morning and continuing throughout the day, with the possibility of 1–2 inches or more, accompanied by temperatures that are expected to remain below freezing. These conditions may create hazardous travel for buses and drivers, and the safety of our students and staff is always our top priority.

Plaid Day at Randolph Elementary was filled with patterns, colors, and lots of school spirit! We even had a special visit from Dr. Geyer, who shared one of his favorite winter holiday books! Our Roadrunners showed off their best plaid outfits, bringing fun and cheer to the halls. We love celebrating these spirited days together!
Randolph Elementary is closed on Friday due to winter weather. Enjoy the day at home—build a snowman, cozy up with a good book, and stay safe and warm. We’ll see our Roadrunners back soon! ❄️
Due to the threat of inclement weather, including a forecast of 1–3 inches of snow in the morning along with freezing temperatures, we have made the decision to close schools tomorrow. The safety of our students and staff is always our top priority, and current weather predictions indicate potentially hazardous travel conditions during arrival hours.
All school-related activities, including after-school programs, will also be cancelled for Friday. At this time, Saturday events and activities will continue as scheduled. We will continue to monitor weather conditions and communicate promptly if additional cancellations or adjustments become necessary. We encourage families to stay safe, use caution if traveling, and enjoy the day at home.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
Something exciting is happening after we return from Winter Break! Thanks to some of our amazing Head of School committee members for participating in our after school “Wrap Party.” A lovely surprise awaits in 2026!

Last week, our fifth graders from RES, BES, and GES spent the day exploring the James River and learning what it means to be true watershed stewards! 🌊🌿
Students teamed up with educators from the Chesapeake Bay Foundation to dive into hands-on science—testing water quality, examining river biodiversity, and playing interactive games to understand how our watershed works. They also hiked the river trail, packed donation items for Goochland Cares, and completed a nature scavenger hunt along the way.
It was an incredible day of learning, teamwork, and connecting our classroom science units to the real world💧📚✨

Students explored different tools used to measure and predict weather conditions—and then put their new skills to the test. A great mix of science, curiosity, and real-world learning!
