Reminders

Good afternoon Riverside Families,

What a Wisconsin weather week! We hope that all of our families are dug out, have power restored and are in warm homes today! With the snow and colder weather, just a reminder that students need to have proper winter gear (snow pants, boots, gloves, hat, etc.) in order to be in the snow when they are out for recess. Otherwise, they use the blacktop portion of the playground only.

School resumes tomorrow with a "Monday Specials Schedule" so the only thing for families to note is that if your child has physical education class on Mondays, they should bring their gym shoes tomorrow.

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

Respectfully,

Scott Walter

There is no school today in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and we remember his remarkable contributions. At our level, we talk so much to students about making choices. One of Dr. King's well known quotes that we will use with our students is, "The time is always right to do what is right." We remind ourselves and our children to always make the 'right' choices in how they treat themselves and others and to continue working towards a brighter future everyday. That is the best way we can pay tribute to Dr. King's legacy.
