Riverside Sunday Post

Reminders

Good afternoon Riverside Families,

Thanks for brightening up one of our hallways with the hearts you sent back for Random Acts of Kindness Week! Spring conferences are fast approaching on March 6. If you desire a conference, please communicate with your child's teacher. Classrooms will be sending a sign up link soon for those families that wish a conference.

Friday will be our Kids Heart Challenge event for the American Heart Association so students should wear tennis shoes and comfortable clothing. Should be a lot of fun for a great cause!

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

Respectfully,

Scott Walter

Taking Medication at School

Is there medication or a supplement that your child needs to take at school? Students can take medication at school under the supervision of our health room nurses, but they are not allowed to carry medication on them and administer it themselves. As a reminder, students need to have one of the following forms filled out in order for us to administer the medication.

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.
