Hello Parents and Families!
We are excited to offer a way to give back to RIVER RIDGE MIDDLE SCHOOL! On 9/14/2022 we will be kicking off an event to help raise funds that will benefit all of our students and staff. Our Step It UP! program, will help with funding Student and Teacher Resources, Student and Staff Recognition. In addition to: New technology, curriculum enhancements, and innovative learning materials.
It is going to be AWESOME; we are excited to get started!
A few things to note:
· This program will be very easy for you. It only requires about 10 minutes of your time.
· Your students can earn great rewards, just for their effort. No money required!
· This is an online, donation-based fundraiser, and the email and text message donation requests can go to people you know anywhere in the world. That means no direct pressure on your shoulders.
Please help your student register and complete the Golden Ticket assignment if you haven't done so yet! The Step It Up link to register and input emails is https://app.pop4kids.org/riverridgems34654. All students who complete the Golden Ticket assignment will receive fun PRIZES and it does not require any money to register. We will also have some fun drawings for a $250 Amazon Gift Card and four Mini Party Fridges stuffed with CASH!

PARENT BILLS OF RIGHTS - CONSENT FORMS in MYSTUDENT - Please complete ASAP!
PARENTS - We want to highly encourage you to READ CAREFULLY all of the items in the Parent Bill of Rights Consent. During conversations, we are realizing a number of parents were not fully aware of what they were signing when they did so.
While parents have full rights to opt out/in of all items - and we realize how many words they have used - it is important to make informed decisions.
One example is the MEDIA RELEASE. Several parents opted out without realizing the last line of a lengthy page listed the fact that any student opting out will not be recognized if they play sports, or achieve any academic success, and will not be in the yearbook, among other restrictions. Again - if this opt out was done fully informed we absolutely respect that, but when the full details have been pointed out parents did reconsider.
Leaving the consent form blank is a NO for CLINIC SERVICES. If you would like your student to utilize the clinic if they are sick, or get hurt please consent to yes to illness care treatment and RN assessment. If you mark NO or DON'T FILL OUT THE FORMS your child can't be seen in the clinic. Your child will be asked to call you to inform you of the situation. If you do not have internet access at home or a computer, you may come to the school to fill out the consent forms online.
If you have questions about ANY item please do not hesitate to reach out to our administration so that we can clarify the options as much as possible as it is new procedure for everyone.
Flu Vaccines
On Tuesday October 7th Health Heros will be on campus administering Flu Vaccines. If you would like your student to receive a Flu Vaccine, please fill out the consent attached and return it to the clinic or to ljanssen@pasco.k12.fl.us. They were also send out in 1st period classes.
Healthy Student
Please fill out the 22-23 healthy student application if you would like your student to be a part of the program. Healthy student is a great way to keep students in school. Healthy student includes management of acute illness or injury and the administration of limited medications, following physician guidelines and protocols (i.e. ibuprofen, Tylenol, Motrin, Robitussin, Tums, and antifungal ointment, Benadryl, hydrocortisone, etc.).
Please fill out the attached form and return it to the clinic or email to ljanssen@pasco.k12.fl.us if interested. We CAN NOT take any verbal consents for medication administration so not filling out the form means a call home if your child isn't well with a potential need for pick up.
Please check myStudent regularly for student progress!
