Riverside Sunday Post

Reminders

Good afternoon Riverside Families,

We had a fun week last week wrapping up with our Kids Heart Challenge for the American Heart Association on Friday! Students are continuing to work hard and 6 of our classrooms began the new reading, word study and writing pilot curriculum materials this week. Those classrooms were notified previously.

There is no school this coming Friday as report cards will be worked on and sent home electronically on March 12. Spring Conferences are also coming up on Wednesday, March 6 in the evening. Please reach out to your child's teacher if you wish to schedule a conference.

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

Respectfully,

Scott Walter

Headphones Needed

Sometimes at this point in the year, headphones begin to break down :( With state testing coming up at the end of March, please check with your child if he or she still has working headphones as they can use them on the test. Thank you!

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.
