Dear Parents,
I would like to wish all of our families a wonderful holiday season over the next few weeks. May this time be very special as you celebrate together. Merry Christmas,
Happy Hanukkah,
and Happy New Year!
The Riverside School Improvement Plan (SIP) is now available. Our SIP focus is on strengthening the instruction provided to students to further develop their problem solving skills. Math problem solving is the specific focus for teachers who instruct in that area. This leveraged strategy is in line with the district's strategic plan and the "Vision of the Graduate". The details of our SIP and the district plan are available by clicking here.
Have an enjoyable weekend!
Sincerely,
Christopher Weiss
Riverside School Principal

SAFETY DUTY NEEDS VOLUNTEERS
The days are getting colder and more kids are being driven to school. Jackets, hats and gloves are getting more numerous! They really need our help at drop-off to manage it all. Please click
here to sign up and help.
The commitment is just 15 minutes as often as your schedule allows (once a week, once a month...whatever you can give). The payoff is big! Lots of heartfelt smiles and thank yous from kids and parents to start your day.

SCIENCE IN EDUCATION
This week, the third grade took part in the High Touch High Tech program "Mixed up Matter" where they learned all about the physical properties of matter. They learned about what "solubility is by making matter disappear in liquids", and discovered what density is by experimenting with all different types of materials.

GIVE GREEN THIS HOLIDAY SEASON
Still searching for a last minute gift? Here are some ways to give MORE by giving LESS.
- Gift a memory. Arrange an activity for everyone in the family to do together, and you'll create a memory that will last far longer than that of actual gifts - a day spent skiing on the slopes, a bowling or movie night, an overnight camping trip, whatever makes your family happy.
- Give gifts that give back. Find out what causes your friends believe in and offer to help in some capacity.
- Shop local! Art and Sound Gallery is offering a sustainable market open through January 6th. The gallery is hosting a holiday event Saturday, December 17th from 6 to 9pm. Click here for more information.
