Reminders

Good afternoon Riverside Families,

It is hard to believe that we entering the end of the 2023! We have had a great fall this school year and are certainly looking forward to working with your children in the new year!

We continue with our Holiday Festive Wear Days leading into break. Check out the flyer below for more info. It will be a great last week ahead before break! Thursday we will celebrate Winter Holidays all around the world school-wide and classrooms will be having their winter parties on Friday. We will send students off with an all school sing assembly at the end of the day.

Friday will be the last day and school will resume on Tuesday, January 2. We hope you have a wonderful winter break and enjoy the small moments with family and friends. I know I will be with my own children and family.

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

Respectfully,

Scott Walter

Free Book Rummage

We are clearing out storage and have some gently used instructional materials that are free for the taking. If you are looking for more ways to practice skills at home with your child, please stop by the community center room 123 at the end of the day Wednesday, December 20th, from 2-3:30pm. Students will have first choice to go through the rummage sale with their class, but we also wanted to give parents an opportunity! We are calling it a rummage, but everything is free!

Parking Lot Traffic Reminder

Just a friendly reminder to please be patient in our parking lot in the morning and in the afternoon. Cars should loop around the lot and not enter straight into the lot (as that gets in the way of car line and bus lane). Please see document/map to the right. We know everyone is in a hurry, but at the end of the day we are dismissing 425 students within 5 minutes and we appreciate your patience to make the process work.

5th Grade- Save the Date

DARE Graduation - Friday, March 8th @ 2:15 p.m. in the gym
