* Important Pick-up Patrol Update *

All updates in Pick-Up Patrol need be entered by 1:35. We really ask that all plan changes be entered prior to that time. If you are unable to, you can still call our office at 503-630-8517. Thank you for adjusting to this change; it will help give us more time to ensure all of our students reach their appropriate destination after school.

Dear River Mill Families,

You should have received a copy of your child's report card outlining how they are doing on the Essential Learning Standards (ELS) being reported. Please know that some students may have a score of a 2 and that is okay. We expect students to be progressing on some of their yearlong standards and we are only halfway through the school year. If your child has a score of a 1, there is more urgency to get them caught up. It's encouraged that you ask questions about how you might be able to support your child at home if you are able. As always, if you have any questions about what was reported, we encourage you to please reach out to your child's teacher.


This week is a fun one. Many classrooms have fun activities planned for Valentine's Day. If you are unsure what this looks like for your child, please contact their teacher.


Earlier in the year, we asked you to participate in surveys about how things were going here at River Mill. Based on that feedback, we have worked to improve the frequency of positive contact to you about your child's day at school. Another goal of ours was to report to you how your child is doing at school on a more regular basis through the use of the progress reports being sent out every two weeks. You can expect another report coming your way this week. You may not see many changes within a two week span, but we want you to be fully informed about how your child is learning at school.


This week, if you call in to our office, we will ask you if you are willing to stay on the line a couple more minutes to help provide us feedback about how we are doing with these goals. If you have the time to give, we would greatly appreciate it.


We thank you for your continued partnership and hope you have a great weekend!


Sincerely,

Corinne Johnsen

Principal, River Mill Elementary

This Month's Standard of Excellence

Each month we choose to focus on one of our Standards of Excellence. Through this, we teach our students what it means to display these characteristics. Then we recognize members of our school community for exemplifying the trait. All of these help us to reach our school district's long term mission of equipping our students with the knowledge and skills necessary to be resourceful and successful.
