Hello RISD Elementary Families!
We are excited to see you at Trunk or Treat this weekend! Sunday 430-530 at Westshire Elementary. Though the weather doesn't look PERFECT, it looks good enough for our special event. People who are having TRUNKS, please arrive between 4:00PM-4:20PM to set up. All other participants, please arrive at 4:30.
Picture retakes are this coming Tuesday. We do apologize for the interesting new way the Geskus sent out pictures. We are working with the company to improve this for next year. SME will also do their all school photo on Tuesday.
Thanks to all the participants in Crazy Hair Day! There were some awesome and creative kiddos!
Don't forget to send back your Winter Programming sheets and your sign ups for Harvest Dinner!
3 Way Conferences are next Friday - no school for students! :)
A Note from Mrs. Duvall -
Hello Rivendell Families! Concert season is quickly approaching and we're doing things a little differently this year. The elementary Winter Concert will be a combined concert for both Westshire and Samuel Morey schools. The Winter Concert will be on Tuesday, December 11th 6pm in the Rivendell Academy gymnasium. Students can wear seasonal dress clothes that align with the district dress code.
For students would like to practice at home, I have put links to lyrics and practice videos on my blog site. Please encourage your children to practice! Thank you for your continued support in the arts. https://musicwithmrsduvall.blogspot.com/

IMPORTANT CHANGE
Harvest Luncheon is now 11/14 at WES instead of 11/13
If you are someone who enjoys social media, please consider "liking" our WES and SME Facebook pages. I am trying hard to post often about the exciting and cool things that go on at our schools. It is also a great place to see reminders about school events.

As we know, the clocks are "falling back" in 2 weeks. This does aide in "early bedtime" - one of my favorite (and only) perks of the sun setting early.
The link above does discuss the importance of early bedtime for our little loves. :)
What's New for the 2018-2019 School Year
Updated handbook!
We will be focusing on consistency between the two schools. A copy of the handbook will be sent home, but you can also access it online.
