River Mill Elementary - October 28, 2022

Dear River Mill Families,

We had a fun time celebrating Red Ribbon week and thank you for donating food which will directly impact families in our local community. Also, a huge shout out to our counseling team. Mrs. Harris and Mrs. Fischer organized all the great events this week, including a visit from Deputy Ramos and K9 Abbie.

This week, Dental3 will continue to serve our students. If you have any questions about this service for your child, please call our school office.

Please always have your photo identification (ID) ready when picking up your child from school. At times, staff are absent for a variety of reasons, and we want to ensure your child is placed with the right person. Thank you for your understanding.

Thank You,

Corinne Johnsen

Principal, River Mill Elementary

Why Attendance Matters

We have a number of students who are arriving at school late each day. We really emphasize the importance of coming to school each day and on time to establish routine, consistency, and we don't want your child to miss important social and academic items that are so valuable to their school success. If there is a specific circumstance causing this for your family, please let us know so we can support you. Thank you.

Technology Needs

It is important to us that all our students have what they need in regard to technology. We rely on technology on a consistent basis in the classroom. If you happen to have a device or charger at home from last school year, please send it back to school with your child as soon as possible. Thank you.

We know that weather can sometimes be unpredictable in Oregon and at times, students may need to access their learning from home for the day if we need to close school. In order for us to be prepared to best support you and your child, please take a couple minutes to fill out this technology survey so we can get you connected with the right items. Thank you!

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.
