Reminders

Good afternoon Riverside Families,

We had a great week of learning and activities at Riverside! Drew Burgoyne from CBS 58 came out to lead an assembly and teach us about all sorts of weather and even create some storm clouds in our gym and "elephant toothpaste." Students also earned a glow dance on Friday afternoon for meeting our latest Riverside Way goal and their choices in our hallways.

Next Friday, February 16th is a professional development day for staff so there is no school for students. Our staff will continue learning about effective practices in small group instruction as well as deepening our knowledge around the social emotional learning competencies.

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

Respectfully,

Scott Walter

Random Acts of Kindness Week

We will be celebrating Random Acts of Kindness Week at Riverside this coming week with some activities and special announcements. You should have received a blank heart for you to write, draw, decorate etc. things about your child. We will also be displaying those. If you need a new one, please contact your child's teacher. There are so many things to celebrate about everyone!

Want to help?

There are many opportunities to help out at school. Whether helping in the classroom, at PTO events or chaperoning a field trip, we'd love your help.

To ensure that all adults who come in contact with your children are safe to do so, we run background checks on all volunteers. You can apply today to be a volunteer at the link below. Please note that it does take 48-96 hours for the process, so if you want to volunteer, apply early.
