Parent and Student Information
Good Afternoon River Hawks!
We have two weeks to go until we complete the most unusual school year ever! Thank you for hanging in there and congratulations to all of you for a job well done! 🎉
Many students will complete the iReady assessments in math and English the last two weeks of school. These assessments have taken the place of state testing and will be instrumental to help teachers NEXT YEAR (for 8th and 9th grade) to determine GAPS IN LEARNING which may have occurred due to the pandemic and online instruction. Please help us help your child by making sure they take these assessments. ✏️
Monday is the first day of textbook returns. Please see the attached schedule. 📚
The Chromebooks students have received from the school do NOT need to be returned. Those are yours to keep!💻
Yearbooks will be distributed during textbook collection. The Rio Yearbook is phenomenal! It's amazing how our advisor, Ms. Bretthauer and the Rio Yearbook students put together an awesome yearbook with our Online Learning format for most of the school year! 📕
Wednesday, June 2 will be an Online-Remote learning day as usual. Thursday, June 3 is the last day of school for students.📅
Thank you to all of the parent PTSA volunteers who supported Rio Norte this year. Our Rio PTSA is still looking for a PTSA President for next year. Please reach out to Rio or the PTSA if you are interested. There is already a team available to support the president. 💗
The final PTSA Association meeting is this Thursday on Zoom at 7pm and the sign-up genius for the teacher last day of school breakfast is here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/508054DA9AC29A13-rionorte
We are looking forward to a great final two weeks of school! 😊
Thank you,
