Thank you car rider parents for all your help to ensure our new arrival and dismissal procedures continue to be efficient. Please remember in the afternoons to STAY IN LINE all the way out of the parking lot.
We want to send a big THANK YOU to the anonymous donor of donuts and coffee for our staff this past week! They have been working super hard to learn new processes and make them more safe and efficient and get our year off to a great start. Thank you for your support!
Breakfast-
Just a reminder, breakfast is served from 8:40-8:55 only. Students arriving after 8:55 will need to head straight to class. Students arriving after 9:00 AM are considered tardy. A parent will have to walk them to the door to sign the child in so they can receive a tardy slip.
Food Service
Just a reminder that parents must apply for free or reduced lunch this year online. Also, if you want to deposit money in your child’s account, you can do so online by setting up a lunch account. You can even have it send you email reminders for when your child’s account is getting low. Breakfast: Paid $1.75; Reduced $.30
Lunch: Paid $3.00; Reduced $.40
Please fill out an online Free/Reduced meal application: https://www.nlappscloud.com/
Birthday Reminders-
In compliance with the GCCS Wellness Policy, cookies, cupcakes and other sweets are NOT ALLOWED to be brought in for Birthday celebrations for students. You may bring in any type of healthy food such as fruit, low fat muffins, cheese or vegetable items or trinket/birthday goody bags for each student in the class to recognize their special day. In addition, birthday invitations are not allowed to be distributed at school. These policies are listed in our student handbook.
Kroger Rewards-
Thanks to those who have signed up for the Kroger Rewards program to give back to Riverside. With the Kroger rewards program, Kroger gives a percentage of what you spend back to Riverside. Here is how to Link your Kroger Card to Riverside Elementary School. Selecting the organization that you wish to support is as simple as updating the Kroger Community Rewards selection on your digital account.
- Sign in to your digital account.
- Search for your organization here.
- Enter the name or NPO number of the organization you wish to support.
- Select the appropriate organization from the list and click “Save”.
Your selected organization will also display in the Kroger Community Rewards section of your account. If you need to review or revisit your organization, you can always do so under your Account details.
Attendance:
If your child must be absent, please call the school first thing in the morning and leave us a message with your child’s name, teacher’s name and reason for the absence. If your child tests positive for Covid, please know that the child must complete a 5 day quarantine beginning with day 1 being the day of the positive test (or when symptoms started) with return to school on day 6 as long as there is no fever and symptoms are improving. Upon return, your student will be asked to wear a mask on day 6-10 and will be socially distanced at lunch (since they would have to take their mask off to eat).
Student Handbook
Please review the student handbook with your child.
