The Wave

September 10, 2021
A message from Megan Elston
Hello, 

Please give your student(s) a high five for all of us at Three Rivers. They made it through a fun first week of school! We spent some time reflecting this week about how we haven't done a first day of school in two years. It was a bit like riding a bike, it felt a little wobbly at first, but we all got the hang of it quickly! Our students and staff deserve a restful weekend. 

If they haven't told you already, ask about the Olympic competitions with families. These will wrap up on Monday, which means our first full-day academic schedule will be on Tuesday. Make sure to check the links below for student schedules. We will continue to monitor students' stamina as we get back to a full schedule and hope you will communicate with staff if your student is feeling stressed, anxious, or worried. 

Finally, one more high five and round of applause for our students who are keeping their distance and wearing their masks well. We hope they enjoyed Kona Ice! 

See you on Monday! 
School Pictures

Local photographer Nancy Steele will be here this Tuesday morning, September 14th, for group, class, and individual pictures. There are no advance orders, but please we watching for the announcement for the window of dates that pictures will be available to order. Nancy will announce a window that pictures will be available for purchase. Don't miss that deadline! We have had Nancy taking our school photos for many years and we love collaborating with local businesses like Nancy Steele Portraiture!

Back to School Night via Zoom

We look forward to seeing all of our TRCS parents on Thursday, September 23 from 5:30 - 6:30 pm for our virtual Back-to-School Night. We are all excited to be back in person with students and have much to share about the school year ahead. Look for the zoom link coming soon.
Drop off and Pick Up
As the week progressed we definitely made improvements to our daily routine of coming and going from school.
Staggering your arrival at both drop-off and pick-up will keep the flow of traffic moving swiftly.

Drop off between 7:30 and 8:00 am. Please drop students off at the front entrance. Staff members will be there to greet and give directions each morning.

Pick-up between 3:00 and 3:20 pm. Cars picking up two or more students (including siblings!) please pull into the gravel lot. Cars picking up just one student pull up to the entrance.
