Dear River Mill Families,
A huge shoutout to our River Mill students! We are so proud of all the incredible talent on display at Thursday’s Art and Science Fair! Our students did an outstanding job showcasing their creativity, curiosity, and hard work. Thank you to all the families who joined us to celebrate their efforts—it meant so much to have your support, and we loved sharing this special evening with you. Way to go, Timbers!
Next week we have some exciting events happening!
🌟 Kindergarten Connection is this Thursday!
This is a special evening just for our newest future Timbers. Families will rotate through three fun and informative stations, so please plan to stay for the entire event. Help us spread the word—if you know a family with a child turning 5 by the end of August, be sure to let them know! Please see the flyer and video below for more information.

We appreciate your support in helping students feel confident and ready to go!

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!
