February 25, 2024

This week is ‘Read Across America’ week. Our students will be reading with buddy classes on Friday and participating in a few other activities to highlight reading. This is a great week to take a moment to sit with your student and read a book. Ask your student what their favorite book is or share your own favorite story from your childhood. The more you read the better reader you become and that includes listening to read alouds! Encourage your student to spend time every day practicing reading! On Friday we will wear Silly Socks and shirts with words to read! Check out our full list of activities: Copy of 2024 Read Across America Day

PTO Activities

Thank you to our PTO for sponsoring a bus driver appreciation day last Thursday. All of our bus drivers and van drivers received a special breakfast. Also, our window screens were put up on the primary entrance doors. They look awesome! You can help support our PTO activities by participating in their restaurant night this week on Tuesday, Feb. 27 from 10:30 am-10:00 pm at Rapid Fired Pizza located at 1645 Veterans Parkway. Present the fliers sent home last week and 25% of your order will go back to our PTO.

Midterms for students in grades 3-5 will go out on Wednesday of this week. Please check your student’s Powerschool account for any missing grades. Powerschool is a great way to stay on top of how your student is performing. If you have any questions about a grade, please contact your child’s teacher. If you need help getting into powerschool, please contact the office.

PRIDE Schoolwide!

We have been working on the character trait of Dependability for the past month of January. We are now learning about Efficiency. Students learn about the PRIDE trait of the month and then put it into practice. We have special drawings at the end of the month for prizes. Students who have been caught showing the PRIDE characteristic of the month receive a special buck that goes into a drawing. Please ask your student how they are showing PRIDE at school demonstrating Persistence, Respectfulness, Initiative, Dependability or Efficiency. It takes all Roadrunners showing PRIDE and working together to make our school successful!

Student Council Riley Grams on Sale 2/5-2/9

Riverside Student Council will be selling red tie dye bracelets and tattoos! Our goal this year is to send $500.00 to Riley Children’s Hospital in Indianapolis. That money will represent $1.00 for each person that works and attends Riverside Elementary. Wouldn’t that be awesome!
