Principal Moment

Yesterday was the first day of Kindergarten!!  Robert Fulgum has taught us that all we really need to know, we learned in Kindergarten.  “Share everything. Play fair. Don’t hit people.  Put things back where you found them…it is best to hold hands and stick together.”

Kindergarten kids are literal.  I haven’t taught Kindergarten but I can speak Kindergartenese.  I can count by two’s…2, 2, 2, 2, 2.  I know what a “reptangle” is.  I know that every spring Kindergartner kiddos “dive” Easter Eggs.  Welcome to school Kindergartners!  You will love it here!

Busing

In order to ride a school bus, you must reside 1.5 miles or further from the school.  The following link will allow you to explore the bus route finder http://www.infofinderi.com/ifi/?cid=NSD4K2L8WGYX

Communication

 

We know that one communication channel doesn’t always meet all parent needs.  When we think about our parent audience, individuals range from “tell me only what I need to know” to “tell me everything”.  There are a number of communication channels to keep you connected.

 

Weekly School email

This will be sent to your email each week.  Make sure your email is updated. 

 

Riverview School website.

We try to keep it the website updated regularly.  Keep informed about Riverview Elementary events through the school website http://riverview.nebo.edu/.

Facebook & Instagram

Most days Mrs. Killian, Mrs. Woodhouse, and Mrs. Nielson share learning both our teachers and students are involved in.  It is a great way to become connected to real time happenings within the school.
