Riverfront Family Days
Here's some information about Family Days at Riverfront.
Each month staff and students will meet with their "Family." Many parents/guardians have asked, "What exactly is Family Day?" School administration and school counselors came up with an idea over the summer that we hope will bring our school closer together. Here is how we explained it to our staff!
Why? The purpose is to build a sense of community among all of our students across all grade levels at Riverfront and support social emotional learning.
How? Each staff member is assigned a group of 10-12 students from grades 4-8. Families will meet monthly, the goal is to build trust, friendships and a family-like atmosphere within the family. (Students will be social distanced and seating charts will be noted for contact tracing purposes.)
What? Staff are given 'Suggested' Activities to do with their family each month but they can do any activity to highlight the Character trait for the month and/or Equity focus.
Our Hope: Our hope is students in the family will eventually build new relationships with a new trusted adult in the building. We hope our older students will become mentors/leaders for the younger students in the family.
- In Genesis each student is assigned a Team (this is the teacher for the student's Family)
