Reminders

Good afternoon Riverside Families,

We hope you had a great weekend! The weather will be warmer this week which means we will be outside at recess with a lot of snow :). Please remind your child to bring their winter gear (snow pants, hats, gloves, etc.) in order to play in the snow.

Also as a reminder, there is no school tomorrow. For elementary school staff, it is a professional development day in which our staff will be learning about effective practices within small group instruction, word study and empowering students with their math goals.

If you need anything, please feel free to reach out to me.

Respectfully,

Scott Walter

Learning Journals Coming Home

All Riverside classrooms will be sending home learning journals this week because we are at the mid-year point. Students all have learning journals that they add to throughout the year to keep track of their progress on grade level learning targets and personal goals. We will be sending them home a few times this year school-wide in order to keep communicating with families about progress and keep the conversations going. Please see the attached documents for more information and also some discussion prompts that you can use with your child as you look it over with him/her and send back next week. Thank you!
