Happy New Year!

I hope you all had an amazing holiday break with your families. Every year I welcome the much needed break, but am always so excited to get back to school in January. Term 3 starts today. I can't believe we are half way through this school year.

Can you believe how much snow we received this week? I had to clear the snow from my driveway and sidewalks 3 different times on Monday. Please make sure that students are dressed for the weather when they come to school each day. Coats, hats, gloves, and boots are helpful for recess.

We have a few important dates to remember this month, so make sure to scroll to the bottom of the newsletter and take a look at our "Dates to Remember."

If I can help in anyway, please reach out to me.

Let's have an AMAZING month!

Ms. Poulson

NOVA starts for our 5th grade students this month.

The mission of the N.O.V.A. Principles Foundation is: “Nurturing youth to seek out positive Opportunities, internalize good Values, and to accept Accountability for their choices in life.”

We are excited for Officer Leifson to come teach our 5th grade students some awesome lessons over the next several weeks.

We have an opening for an instructional technician here at Riverview. Miss. Jenson will be starting her student teaching at Rees Elementary in a few weeks, so she will be leaving us. We thank her for all of her years serving the kids here at Riverview, but are excited for her new adventure as she gets closer to becoming a classroom teacher.

This position will mostly be working with our kindergarten students as well as some lunch supervision. Please encourage those who might be interested to apply! Apply here.

We will also be having a resource technician position opening soon, so be on the lookout for that posting as well.
