Riverside Sunday Post

Reminders

Good afternoon Riverside Families,

It was truly a special day the other day with the community-wide Veterans Day Program at Riverside. Our 4th graders had a fabulous performance by saying "Thank You" with the gift of song. Thank you to all who are currently serving or have served! We appreciate your sacrifice!

Friday will be a College Spirit Jeans day so wear your classroom college colors!

If you need anything, please feel free to reach out to me. It will be a great week ahead!

Respectfully,

Scott Walter

Learning Journals Coming Home

All Riverside classrooms sent home students' learning journals last week if they already didn't make it home during conferences. 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 this coming week. Thank you!
