Riverside Sunday Post

Reminders

Good afternoon Riverside Families,

That might have been the last batch of warm fall days we had this weekend so hope you enjoyed it! As we head into Thanksgiving this week, I want to express how truly grateful we are for our students and your partnership! Our students are coming to school every day ready to learn and overall take care of each other and treat everyone with kindness. We have had excellent turnouts from families this year for conferences, our back to school events and our PIE events. Even if you can't make one of those things, I know we are communicating the same messages to our students both in school and at home and keeping their learning and well-being at the forefront. I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends! We are thankful for all your support!

Tuesday will be a Riverside Spirit Day as we head into Thanksgiving so wear your Rockets or Falls gear loud and proud!
There is no school on Wednesday for the start of Thanksgiving break. School will resume on Tuesday, November 28 as the prior day is workday for staff to complete report cards.

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

Respectfully,

Scott Walter
