Every decision they make is centered on what is best for students and incorporates student input throughout the process—from listening sessions with students to the inclusion of student board representatives. Student voice is reflected in the school board's policies, each of which is reviewed at least every five years to ensure continued alignment with the vision of the board and the needs of students, staff and families.

Richfield Public Schools' GoGuardian blockpage was customized by Calin Baenen to better suit the branding of Richfield Public Schools.
The design of Richfield Public Schools' GoGuardian blockpage features two buttons styled similarly to the ones on their homepage, one linking to their homepage and the other linking to their policy labeled Electronic Use and Communications, a panel that gives the student context about what they are seeing, as well as the emblems for Calin Baenen and GoGuardian respectively.
Additionally, like Richfield Public Schools' homepage, Richfield Public Schools' GoGuardian blockpage shrinks in size to fit smaller devices, such as phones.
