Happy Friday, Lil Steamer Families!
January 13, 2023
From the desk of: Principal Hoese
Lil Steamer Families --
This week our students completed a variety of winter testing:
- AIMSweb Benchmarking (math & literacy completed in fall, winter, & spring)
- STAR Testing (Grades 1-5 literacy growth)
- Developmental Reading Assessment (DRA - 1st Grade student reading levels)
It is my intent to send home information next week regarding each student's AIMSweb benchmarking to families. If you have any questions regarding the AIMSweb benchmarking, please reach out to your child's respective teacher.
If you would like information or details about STAR testing or DRA testing (1st Grade), please reach out to your child's respective teacher.
Remember, we do not have school on Monday, January 16 in observance of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. Enjoy the three day weekend!

From the desk of: School Counselor Mrs. Meumann
Martin Luther King Jr. made it his life’s mission to bring compassion, fairness, and racial equality to all. His “I Have A Dream” Speech called for civil and economic rights and an end to racism.
Drawing inspiration from King’s “I Have a Dream” speech, ask your children what their dreams are. What inspires them? Talk about ways that your family can make the world a better place. You can also write them down and hang the paper on your fridge (or elsewhere in your home) to serve as a source of inspiration throughout the year.

Young Students at FHS Home Events
River Bend Parents/Guardians:
We are having more and more young children who are running around during home basketball events. We have had to address students playing in the Commons and throughout the school hallways during games.
We do not want to discourage our young Steamer fans from coming to our games. For the safety of our students, athletes, and patrons; we cannot have young students running around. We gladly welcome all of our families and young children to support our high school athletes, but please make sure your child is behaving appropriately while at games. If students are found outside of the gym misbehaving, they will be told to go and sit with their parents.
Thank You and Go Steamers!
