Timber Talks

We hope you had a wonderful May Break and we are excited to welcome our students back to school. We recognize that we are nearing the end of the school year, and we also want to finish strongly. This means, we want your child at school each day and on time. The learning has not ended. Each day is an opportunity for your child to continue working on attaining or extending their knowledge of our Essential Learning Standards. Our routines will remain the same and we will do reteaching of our expectations to ensure it is a smooth finish.

We also want to extend a congratulations to our students on a job well done at the Music Concerts, led by Mr. C, which took place just before break. They all did a wonderful job and thank you for giving them a standing room only audience that was full of love and encouragement. We appreciate you giving your time to support our students.

Lastly, we want to thank our River Mill Parent Club for spoiling our River Mill team during Staff Appreciation Week. The kind gestures really helped spread joy to our team and we are so grateful.

Have a great week!

Sincerely,

Corinne Johnsen
