Dear River Mill Families,
As we approach May Break, we are excited for another week of learning and growth at River Mill! Our students are continuing to make great strides in their learning, and we’re eager to continue strong in the month of May. We encourage all families to keep the momentum going by ensuring that students continue to arrive on time, stay focused, and participate fully in their learning experiences.
Next week is a special time to recognize and appreciate the dedicated individuals who make River Mill such a wonderful place for our students to learn and grow. During Staff Appreciation Week, we will take a moment to celebrate our incredible staff members who work tirelessly to create a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for every child. If you have a moment, we encourage you to send a note, email, or even a quick message to the teachers, paraprofessionals, and staff members who have made a difference in your child’s life this year. Your thoughtful words go a long way in letting them know just how much they are valued. Thank you for helping us make this week extra special!
A Heartfelt Thank You
We want to extend our sincere thanks to our amazing Parent Teacher Organization and our incredible building secretaries for the thoughtful appreciation shown to both Trevor and me in honor of National School Principals Day. Your kindness and generosity truly meant a lot to us!
Thank you, as always, for your ongoing support and partnership in helping our students thrive.

Presenters Needed!
River Mill Elementary is excited to offer our sixth annual school-wide career fair. The career fair is scheduled for the morning of Tuesday, June 3rd from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
We are looking for presenters who are eager to share their career paths with students. As you know, one of our priorities at River Mill Elementary School is to equip every student with the skills necessary to become competent, resourceful, and successful. In order to support this goal we are requesting that our presenters share the following information:
How do you use reading, writing, and math skills (or other school subjects) on your job?
How do you use technology in your career field?
What type of education and training is needed for advancement into the career area?
Describe your job duties.
Describe a typical work day.
What talents and skills are necessary for success in your career field?
What personal traits are helpful in your career?
Each presenter will deliver 4-7 presentations for approximately 20 minutes each as they rotate to different classrooms. If you are willing to be a presenter, use the link below to complete the form.

At River Mill, we want to ensure every student has the best opportunity to learn and grow each day. Recently, we’ve noticed an increase in tardies and early pick-ups, and we want to remind families how important it is for students to be at school on time and stay for the full day. Arriving late can cause students to miss important instruction, while leaving early means they may not get the full benefit of their learning time. Every minute in the classroom matters! We understand that occasional appointments and emergencies happen, but whenever possible, please schedule these outside of school hours. Thank you for your support in making sure your child gets the most out of their school day!
