Looking for Something To Try
Missing Anything.... Lost and Found Overload
This week's top tips for cold weather success:
- Putting your child's name on the tag of their sweatshirt or coat helps us get them reunited when those items get separated from your child's body. Check out the pics below of lost items currently residing in the school office.
- If there is snow on the playground, we might just play in it. Gloves are a good idea!
- Coats and hats and gloves are all available for your children if needed (not to borrow, but to keep) so please reach out if your family could use a boost!
Music Performance Changes
Parents/Guardians:
We are writing to share updated procedures surrounding our music performances. The goal is to begin the process of returning to as much normalcy as possible with respect to in-person attendance for families. These procedures will be revisited as necessary. As of January 3, 2021:
· There will be an evening performance of all remaining elementary grade level music programs and choir concerts scheduled during second semester.
· At this time, two (2) guests per performer will be permitted to attend indoor, evening performances. This procedure will be revisited in the coming weeks.
· Currently, all attendees and performers will be masked for indoor performances, as of January 3. If the public health order regarding masks changes, this protocol will be updated.
· Weather permitting, performances may be moved outdoors at the discretion of the music teacher and administrator. If performances are held outdoors, masks are optional with no limit on family attendance.
· At this time, performances held during the school day will continue with audience members being limited to staff and students.
· A recording and/or livestream of each performance will be provided to the performers’ families.
We appreciate your understanding as we take steps to allow for more in-person events for families.
Thank you,

Calling All New Kinders
Kansas Teacher of the Year
Dear Families,
Please consider nominating your favorite teacher for Kansas Teacher of the Year.
The De Soto School District has been an important and strong participant in the Kansas Teacher of the Year Program for many years. De Soto has had fifteen state finalists and twelve semi-finalists represented in the program since 2000. Two of our very own teachers were chosen as The Kansas Teacher of the Year; Keil Hileman in 2004 and Jeri Powers in 2008. This is truly unprecedented!
We would like for you to nominate any teacher whom you consider to be an outstanding and effective educator and whom you or your child has had as a teacher. This person must be a tenured employee of USD 232. If there is a De Soto educator whom you believe to be outstanding and deserving of special recognition, please fill out the nomination form at www.usd232.org/ktoy
The deadline is noon on Friday, January 14th This year all staff nominations will be though our online nomination form.
Messages From PTA
Skate Night:
Riverview Elementary skate night at Skate City is Thursday, January 13th! Come out and skate from 6-8pm with other Riverview families for a fun, community event. We hope to see you there!
Snow Creek Update:
We have some sad news, Falcons! Because of unseasonably warm weather, Snow Creek is unable to schedule tubing excursions at this time. We were holding out hope to have our traditional outing in late January, but unfortunately we have to cancel the event. We look forward to planning some alternative family community events in the spring. We look forward to seeing many of you at family skate night at Skate City planned for January 13th! Thank you!
