A Note From the Principal
And just like that the first quarter is already over. It's hard for us to believe it's going so quickly! Today there was no House activity to allow for students to visit teachers during advisory if they needed to complete a make-up test or turn something in. Grades will post in Infinite Campus on Tuesday at 3:00 p.m.
Our PTSA Student Membership Drive is over and the winner was BLUE House! Students in Blue House will be treated to a continental breakfast later this month. Arrangements will be made with the teachers in that house. All PTSA student members will have something special coming their way later in October from our PTSA e-board.
Due to conflicts for students and families the Halloween Dance is being re-branded as the "Fall Fest Dance" and instead of taking place on Halloween, is moving to Friday, October 28th from 5-7 p.m.
October is Bullying Awareness Month. Look for important tips and information from ASB, RioTV, and our Wellness Center throughout the month. Help us reinforce to students how important showing kindness to one another can be, especially when someone is having a bad day.
Finally, we have a new attendance tech, Ms. Lisa McDaniel, who comes to us with a wealth of attendance experience. Please update your email records so that you reach the correct person when emailing attendance. CLICK HERE for her contact information.
We hope you have a great weekend!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Bennett

Tardies at Rio Norte
In this new quarter, parents will receive a weekly email if their student has any tardies that week. We encourage all parents to download the Infinite Campus app and regularly check on attendance. Keep in mind your student could be in the office or working with another teacher and receive an excused tardy pass that is typically corrected within 24 business hours, so please don't panic right away if you set notifications.
