Attendance Demographics
Student Drop off and Pick Up Reminder:
- Morning drop off is at the rear entrance of the building until 7:30 AM. If you are dropping a student off after 7:30 AM, you can drop them off at the front entrance.
- Afternoon pick up is at the rear entrance of the building beginning at 2:35 PM. If you are picking up a student before 2:35 PM, please park in one of the car spaces at the front of the building and come in to sign your student out. Please do not park in the long bus spaces at the front of the building.
- If you are dropping off a student for extracurricular activities after school, please use the rear entrance of the building to avoid blocking bus traffic in the front of the building. This also applies if you are dropping off food for students staying after school.
- Please drive safely in our parking lot. We have a lot of foot traffic during arrival and dismissal, and we want to keep everyone safe.
Attendance
Regular attendance is vital for student success at Riverbend. Our goal for this trimester is 94% overall attendance. Please help us achieve our goal by:
- Emphasizing the importance of regular attendance with your student
- Ensuring students arrive to school on time by 7:30 AM if they are being dropped off
- When possible, schedule appointments and trips outside of school hours
- Communicating absences with the main office by 8:00 AM on the day of the absence
If you need assistance, or have attendance concerns with your student, please reach out and we will be happy to help.
We are wrapping up our food unit with chocolate chip cookies and a cupcake decorating contest! We have had a lot of fun during this unit and hopefully have gained some culinary skills along the way!
Next up is our sewing unit. Sewing supplies needed have been emailed to students and parents. You can also find the supply list on the FACS Canvas home page as well. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
