Riverside Report
April 2021
A Message from Mr. Kampmann
Our current planning at Riverside, also includes ways that we can safely do many of the end of the year special events for our students. This year we will plan to have a track and field event during the last week of school for all students. Unfortunately, I am not able to have parent visitors join us for track and field this year. We will be taking many pictures and videos that we will share with parents. We are also planning a virtual 3rd-5th grade award ceremony, a virtual incoming Kindergarten Parent meeting, an end of the year student celebration, a last day 5th grade graduate walk, 5th grade bike trip, and 5th grade end of year class outing. We will be sharing details about these events in the next few weeks.
Riverside will also be participating in a DC Everest "Unparade" event on Saturday May 15th from 6:00 pm- 8:00 pm in the DC Everest High School parking lot. For this event many district schools, clubs and groups will be developing an active float that will be parked in the High School Parking Lot for our graduating seniors and community to drive though and participate. Please put this event on your calendars and we look forward to seeing many of our current and past Riverside Bluejays at the event.

SCIENCE FAIR
FORWARD EXAMS
WISCONSIN FORWARD EXAMS
Wisconsin students in Grades 3, 4, and 5 will be participating in the Wisconsin
Forward Exam during the Wisconsin state testing window. Riverside is scheduled to take the Wisconsin Forward Exam as follows:
Grade 3– April 20-22
Grade 4 – April 19-29
Grade 5 – April 27-29
The Wisconsin Forward Exam tests students in the areas of Literacy (grades 3-5), Math (grades 3-5), Science (grade 4), and Social Studies (grade 4). One or more subtests may be administered daily during the identified time frame and it is very important that students be in school during this time. Students not in school on the scheduled testing days will be scheduled for a make-up test prior to the close of the testing window.
Ice Cream Social and Raffle
Raffle tickets will be coming home with your oldest child.
Due to Covid-19, we are unable to hold our traditional Ice Cream Social Fundraiser event again this year. In the past, the PTO helps to provide resources such as books, playground equipment, field trips, classroom supplies, and technology updates. The raffle will help the PTO to continue to support our students needs. We are looking to earn money to maintain these yearly expenses, as well as to help make updates to our playground.
Raffle Tickets are $2.00 each or 6 for $10.00. Cash or checks are accepted. Checks can be made out to Riverside PTO.
Tickets are sent home with the oldest student in the family, unless parents have indicated they do not wish to participate in fundraisers. Additional tickets can be requested. Please send sold tickets and money back with your oldest child with a note requesting more if needed.
The last day for ticket collection will be: Friday, May 14th, 2021.
Grand Prize: $250.00 Cash
1st: $100.00 Cash
2nd: $50.00 Cash
3rd thru 14th $25.00 Gift Card
Participation in the sale of raffle tickets is appreciated, but is optional. All unused raffle tickets can be returned to your child's teacher. If you would still like to support the PTO, but do not want to participate in selling raffle tickets, donations can be made directly to Riverside PTO.
