Greetings from the Principal
Dear Riverview families,
The weather is turning cool and crisp, and November is going by quickly. Outdoor recess occurs even with the chilly weather, so please help and ensure that your students dress appropriately (including jackets and/or coats) to school each day to remain comfortable. Please note that supervision and breakfast do not begin until 8:30 am, and if you do not see Honor Patrol or an adult staff member present, your children need to remain in your care until that time. We want students to remain warm and safe until the school doors open!
Thank you to all of the parents who have helped make this school year a success. Without your dedication to your students and their academic success, such progress would not be possible. Our RE parents work hard to make sure students are prepared, they volunteer countless hours at school, through the PTA, or with extracurriculars, and they attend many school activities as well. We appreciate you and all that you for our school community!
** Please encourage all students to wear red, white, and blue on Wednesday, Nov. 11, in honor of our veterans and their service!
Make it a great week!
Beth Mildren
Veterans Day Assembly November 11, 2015
Our annual Veterans Day Assembly will begin at 9:15 AM on Nov. 11th. If you are bringing a Veteran who may need assistance, please feel free to use the school’s front parking and/or drop off at the outside gym door. Our morning student car loop is usually finished by 8:50, so you are welcome to pull through the drop off lane at that time. We will also have a back door open for entrance through the East hallway. Each entrance will have Greeters with visitor stickers and programs. We look forward to seeing you on Veterans Day!
Staff Spotlight...
This is my second year at Riverview and I am a paraprofessional in the Discovery Room. I have always loved Riverview and the staff. Both of my children attended Riverview. I currently have a senior (Maddie) at BLHS Virtual School and a freshman (Andrew) at Desoto. I am a graduate of KU and love cheering on the Jayhawks. In my spare time I love to spend time with my husband David, our family dog Renny, attending Sporting KC games, cheering on the Royals and spending family time together.
