From The Desk Of Principal Roberts

Dear Rattler Families,

Your voice is very important to me as I reflect and look forward. I analyze the data and read every single comment each year looking for areas of success and areas of improvement because KNOWING BETTER means I DO BETTER. I am committed to partnering with you to provide your children with the best possible education. We currently only have 2% of our parent population that have completed the survey for River Ridge. It would be very helpful if you could take a few minutes to complete the Student Experience/ Climate Survey, which is open through March 19. Thank you in advance!

DISTRICT CALENDAR

Birthday Celebrations

We LOVE when we get to celebrate our Rattlers' birthdays, but just a friendly reminder that we do not allow edible treats to be passed out to classmates. We have many food allergies and want to make sure we keep all of our students safe. If you want to bring a celebration treat for the class, please make sure it is inedible (pencil, stickers, etc.) that can be passed out at the end of the day. Thank you!

Bond Information

During the February 16th board meeting, the Board of Trustees did call a bond for a May election. You can find the district publication about this here.
