"Riverbend will be hosting Parent/Teacher Conferences on Wednesday, October 5th from 3-7 PM. It is not necessary for you to schedule an appointment. However, you are welcome to reach out to any of your students' teachers if you would like to meet at a specific time during the evening. Teachers will be unavailable for conferences from 5:00-5:30 PM for a dinner break. Administrators and counselors will also be on hand to answer any questions throughout the night. Teachers with prior extracurricular responsibilities may have limited availability, or not be available at all due to coaching duties.

We look forward to meeting you on October 5th and celebrating your students."

In FACS class, we are practicing how to safely cook and read recipes. We are cooking something new each week! We recently started our nutrition unit and learned how to read a nutrition label and found out how much sugar we are consuming when we drink our sweet drinks throughout the day! We will be starting our sewing unit at the end of October. Please check your email or ask your student what supplies they need in order to complete their project. If you have any questions, please ask! -Mrs. Alt
