Dear Parents/Guardians,

I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself. My name is Lloyd Dockham, and I have been in the field of social work for 17 years with a focus in special education for the past 7 years. I’m a licensed master’s level clinical social worker with full approval as a school social worker by the state of Michigan. I am starting my 8th year at Richfield Public School Academy and very much enjoy working with students and families here at RPSA.

I’m very excited about the opportunity for our team to work with your child. We have a very dedicated and caring special education team at RPSA and will work hard to ensure that your child makes progress in our school. You and your child will have many great experiences and opportunities this school year, and we are eager to get to know you better.

I believe that communication is the key to great relationships. Please feel free to contact me at any time either by phone: 810-736-1281 or email: ldockham@richfieldpsa.org.

Sincerely,

Mr. Lloyd Dockham

 

On April 25, 2014, Richfield Public School Academy became the first school in Genesee County to open a Ben Carson Reading Room.  Below is an excerpt from the Carson Scholarship Fund website about the Ben Carson Reading Project:

“The Ben Carson Reading Project is an initiative of the Carson Scholars Fund. The purpose of the project is to create a literacy enriched environment for children to develop their reading skills. The reading project is dedicated to promoting leisure reading as a key to unlocking a child’s full potential.

The first Ben Carson Reading Room was established in 2000 at Hall’s Cross Roads Elementary School in Aberdeen, Maryland. Since that time, the Carson Scholars Fund has established over 110 Reading Rooms in 15 states. Reading Rooms can be found in schools in California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Virginia.”

A special thanks to our partners in creating the Ben Carson Reading Room: Granger Construction Company, CITI, Inc., William Reichenbach Company, Smith and Smith Carpet, and the Reading Room Committee Members.  Without your support, effort, and time, this project would have never been possible.  We are truly grateful for all you have contributed to help our students learn to love reading!
