Dear River Mill Families,
Happy Spring Break! We hope you enjoy this time with your students and at home this week! Before we head into the break, we want to take a moment to celebrate the incredible job our 5th grade students did during our annual Sports Challenge event! Their teamwork, camaraderie, and displays of positivity and sportsmanship were truly inspiring. We are so proud of them! (Pictures coming soon!). This event is such a success thanks to Mr. Frank’s leadership, dedication, and organization. A huge thank you to him for all the hard work he puts in each year to make this event happen—and for making this one the best yet! We also want to give a big shoutout to all the coaches for their time, effort, and for being such positive role models for our students, as well as to everyone who helped judge or worked behind the scenes. This is yet another great example of what makes River Mill the best place to be!
📕 Student-Led Conferences 📝
Student-Led Conferences are on Monday, March 31st, and Tuesday, April 1st. These conferences are a valuable opportunity for students to take ownership of their learning and share their progress with you. Please use the link below to sign up for a time that works best for your family: https://ptcfast.com/schools/River_Mill_Elementary_1. We look forward to seeing you there!
Chrome Book Collection
We are ready to have your child return their chromebook, chrombok case, and charger to school during conferences. We will now have the device kept at school for the remainder of the year, unless you hear from us otherwise. Thank you for your support in getting these back to school!
Child Abuse Awareness Month
Child Abuse Awareness Month is observed annually in the United States during the month of April. During this month, our amazing school counselors will be working in classrooms to teach our required lessons on child abuse awareness and promote prevention efforts. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to Rhonda Harris or Kelly Jo Bohrer.
Thank you for your continued support—we appreciate our River Mill families!

This Week's Schedule!
In order to help you all know what the week looks like, we will list it out clearly for you each week. REID days are for invited students and will change each week. Students are invited to REID days for a variety of reasons. Sometimes it's to extend or challenge a student, and other times it might be to provide extra help on a particular skill. On those days, our doors open at 7:50 and dismissal is at 10:00am. If you have questions about this week's schedule, please let us know!

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!
