Gator Playbook

It has been another fantastic week at West Riverside, home of the Gators! Students got their first chance to spend their Gator Bucks at the Gator Cart on Thursday! Way to show PRIDE, Gators!

If you have not already joined the WRES PTA, please consider joining. Our PTA's project for this year is playground enhancements.

Don't forget there is not school on September 7th in observance of Labor Day.

Grandparents are welcome to join us for a craft with their grandchild/grandchildren in the auditorium on Monday, September 14 from 8:00 to 8:30 a.m. Students can grab their breakfast from the cafeteria and meet their grandparent in the auditorium. Grandparents are welcome to bring their own breakfast. We look forward to a special time!

Tomorrow, August 31st, is the last day to order Spirit Wear! Don't miss out!

Please remember to be courteous to our neighbors. Specifically, refrain from parking in the grass at the back of the property and blocking driveways/parking lots.

The walker area is for walkers only. Vehicles should go through the car rider line or park in a designated parking lot/spot and walk to pick up students. Please do not block a neighbor's lawn or driveway to park your vehicle and pick up your student.

The car rider line is for car riders. If your child is in extended day, please park and walk in to pick up him/her.

Any person entering the building must show a valid ID. This includes after school hours, as there are students in the building for the Extended Day program. Please be kind to the front office staff when they request to see your ID.

Remember not to hold the door for the next parent. Each parent is required to show their ID before entering the building.

Support our safety patrols! Purchase popcorn and a juice box for $2.00. Cash only.

We are excited to launch our Buttons for Books reading campaign! Look for a school-wide reading log system coming soon! In the meantime, please keep track of the books students have read at home.

If you are interested in supporting our students and the Fall Festival, please see the information below regarding corporate sponsorships and friends & family sponsorships.

St. Johns Cathedral graciously donated $1,000 for the purchase of books for our library! We are so grateful for our community partners who invest in students!

Don't miss out on a world class education right here at West Riverside! We offer traditional classes as well as the Dual Language Magnet Program which is a 50/50 English/Spanish immersion model.

We have open seats in third, fourth, and fifth grade! For more information, contact the school at 904-381-3900, or the DCPS Enrollment Office at 904-390-2082.
