Our Small and Tall Enchanted Fairies Ball was a huge success! Thank you to Sarah Dorchak that was our event chairperson. She did a phenomenal job, again this year! Also, thank you goes out to Michelle Ettaher and Nancy Ritchie that created the beautiful fairy decor and corsages. Amber Fagerman and Emily Blankenship were, once again, an integral part of the events' success. Thank you to all of the parents that volunteered and our Parent Club for a wonderful event. Thank you to our community partners that donated so many wonderful things! A night of memories was had by all.

Please remember to send warm clothes with your child for recess. The students will be getting outside as long as it "feels like" 20 degress or above.

Please use the crosswalk in the morning! I have quite a few families that continue to cross at the far sidewalk, which causes me to have to stop traffic. This creates extra time for the cars coming in and it is not safe. YOU MUST CROSS YOUR CHILD AT THE CROSSWALK ONLY! This crosswalk is right in front of the main office doors and has the white lines that signify this. Thank you to all of the families that do use the crosswalk. It is MUCH appreciated!

Also, please do not stop at the far sidewalk to drop your child off. This bottlenecks our parking lot, and causes an extra long line down the street. Please pull up to the first STOP sign that we put out each morning which is in front of the STEAM room doors.

If you have any questions or concerns, call the office at (734) 479-2550. You can also email myself (gmeli@riverviewschools.com) or Ms. Annie (aprusakiewicz@riverviewschools.com).

Our district leaders have updated our Strategic Plan for the next 5 years - this plan will be the focal point and road map for all decision making that will be made for instruction, building improvements, staffing, and curriculum changes.

Are your child's clothing drawers overflowing? Does your child have clothing that does not fit any longer? We are looking for gently used items for our Courtesy Closet. Items would be available for students that need spare clothes during the school day. For those spills during lunch, in STEAM or for when students accidently fall into puddles or mud outside. Items for children in grades K-2 are in high demand. Stretch pants, running pants and leggings are most desirable. Please drop off donations to the office. Thank you so much!

Our Lost and Found rack is always overflowing with found items. If you feel your child has lost any items, please feel free to check out the items located in the vestibule at the main entrance before or after school.
