We will have an Elearning day on Tuesday, May 2. This day will be Synchronous. This means that all students will log on to Exact Path at 9:00 and be online with their teachers in google meet at 9:30. Your student will be counted present by being online with their teachers in the morning. Students will work on independent assignments in the afternoon. Teachers will be involved in professional development in the afternoon and will be available intermittently via email/dojo for questions. More information will be sent by your child’s teacher as needed.
We continue ILEARN testing this week. Grade 3 will test Wed, Thurs, Friday and Grade 5 will test Wed. and Thursday. Mrs. Koch’s class will test Monday instead of Thursday. The testing window will continue for two more weeks. On the grade level testing day, students will receive free breakfast. Students will need to go through the breakfast line to receive free breakfast. Please be sure your student gets a good night’s sleep and comes to school with their chromebook fully charged. Students must be on time for school. Students will not be allowed to enter their classroom late once testing has started. We appreciate your assistance in helping students perform to the very best of their ability!
This is Teacher Appreciation Week! This is the week to write a little note just to say thank you for all they do for our students. Let’s show our appreciation for all the great teachers we have here at Riverside!
Friday this week we will have Derby Day. Students may wear their Derby hats to school.
