* Important Pick-up Patrol Update *

Beginning on Monday, February 6th, 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,

It is hard to believe that we are halfway through the 2022-23 school year! We are so proud of the growth that we have seen in our students. You will receive your child's report card on Wednesday, February 8th. If you have questions after you have had an opportunity to review it, please do not hesitate to reach out to your child's teacher.

Please note the Pick-Up patrol changes above. We need all Pick-up Patrol updates to be entered by 1:35pm each day. If you cannot do it by that time, please call our office so we ensure your child reaches their correct end of day destination. Thank you!

There is a direct correlation to student success and attendance. We have a school goal to achieve a 90% or higher attendance rate. We have identified pockets of success, but have more work to do around this goal. Please watch the video Mr. Syring made that explains a little more. If you are encountering barriers when it comes to your child attending school, reach out. We would love to be partners with you to help problem solve.

Thanks for reading our communications each week, and please let us know if there is anything you need. Have a wonderful 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.
