TWO RIVERS TIMES

As we enter November, a season focused on giving thanks, we want to take a moment to express how grateful we are for our school community. We know that life brings real challenges and that every day requires strength and resilience from our students and families. That is why we are deeply thankful for the small, meaningful things—including the privilege of providing a safe, welcoming space where your students can learn, grow, and be supported every single day. Gratitude doesn't mean ignoring life's hardships; it means finding hope in the positive moments we share together. Thank you for trusting us to partner with you in your student's journey.

Wishing you and your family a peaceful and warm holiday season,

The Two Rivers High School Administration

Due to recent weather and wet conditions, our scheduled hike and park activities for this Friday, November 4th, are canceled. Friday will now be a standard school day. We plan to reschedule an activity in the coming weeks for eligible students (those with no failing grades and at least 1.0 credit earned during Mini-Term 3). Additional details will be shared as soon as they are finalized. Thank you for your understanding.

It's time to start thinking about StoryCon, a national convention in Salt Lake City celebrating readers, writers, musicians, and all storytellers! If your student has written a short story (or even just a first chapter of a novel) or poem, an original piece of music, made a short film, or could use their artistic skills to design a book cover, then you need to check-out StoryCon's Contests by going to https://www.storycon.org/contests. This could be their chance to get noticed by professionals in the music, art, or publishing industry! Most contest deadlines are November 15! If parents or students have any questions, feel free to email the Two Rivers' librarian, Maureen Grover, at magrover@wsd.net, or students can stop by the library to visit with her about the contests or going to StoryCon February 5 and 6 in Salt Lake City. The school has 10 student tickets (value: $200 each) , so students should come get their name on the list! Attending both days and turning in notes can earn students .25 English credit! Click here to learn more about the event and what authors will be there.

Parents, if you need to check your student's grade, you will find that in PowerSchool. There is also a link on the front page of the school website. If you have a question about a specific grade or assignment, you can always email the teacher. Email addresses for all staff can be found under the "Faculty" tab on the homepage of the school website.

A monthly calendar is always included in this newsletter, the "Two Rivers Times," our monthly parent newsletter sent out through text if you have signed up using the WSD app. It comes out at the end of every month with district and school events, dates, news, announcements, digital permission slips, and other important information for the upcoming month, as well as pictures of school events from the previous month. Here is the link to last month's newsletter in case you missed it: https://app.smore.com/n/v4aeb. A mini-term calendar is also posted on our school website: https://tworivers.wsd.net/o/trhs/. On there you can also find links to permission slips, reminders of activities, days off, etc.

We also frequently post reminders of events on social media, as well as photos and videos of students doing all the fun things here. You can follow us on Facebook (Two Rivers High School) or Instagram (@tworivershs).

On October 22 Two Rivers was able to honor six of its nine mini-term two graduates, along with their family, and friends at the end-of-term celebration lunch. The faculty at TRHS wishes them the best of luck in their future endeavors and hopes to see them in May at our formal graduation ceremony.
