Dear Riley Parents, Guardians, and Scholars,


I hope you found the success you were looking for as progress reports have been released. Please remember that this is just a progress report, which means there is still time to recover and improve if you feel you may have fallen behind.


It is important that we remain intentional about learning, attendance, and growth. We believe in each one of you and know you are capable of finishing strong


I can promise you the best of myself for your students each and every day. Please do not hesitate to contact me at shenderson2@sbcsc.k12.in.us if you have any questions or concerns during the year.


Our Goals:

1) Educate the Whole Student

2) Building Meaningful Relationships

3) A 95% attendance rate

4) A 90% graduation rate


We greatly appreciate the value that each and every one of our scholars and families brings to Riley. WE ARE THE PRIDE OF THE SOUTHSIDE! WE ARE #RILEYSTRONG!


Sincerely,

Shawn Henderson
