Kindness Week

In observation of National Random Acts of Kindness Day, Riverside Academy will be participating in the first annual “Kindness Week” from February 13^th-February 16^th.  Throughout the week, scholars and staff will be showing kindness in a variety of ways to community partners, classmates, teachers, and first responders.  We will also celebrate with a theme each day for being out of uniform (see attached flyer for each day’s theme). 

Family Conferences

It is crucial that all families sign up for conferences for February 12^th.  Those sign-ups went out with scholars last week. If you are unable to attend virtually, on the phone, or in-person that day, teachers can meet with families during other times and days that week.  When families and teachers work together as a team, children perform better academically!!

Semana de la Bondad

En conmemoración del Día Nacional de los Actos de Bondad al Azar, Riverside Academy participará en la primera “Semana de la Bondad” anual del 13 al 16 de febrero.  A lo largo de la semana, los estudiantes y el personal mostrarán amabilidad de diversas maneras a los socios comunitarios, compañeros de clase, maestros y socorristas.  También celebraremos con un tema cada día por estar fuera del uniforme (consulte el folleto adjunto para conocer el tema de cada día).

Conferencias Familiares

Es crucial que todas las familias se inscriban en las conferencias para el 12 de febrero.  Esas inscripciones se enviaron con los becarios la semana pasada. Si no puede asistir virtualmente, por teléfono o en persona ese día, los maestros pueden reunirse con las familias durante otros momentos y días de esa semana.  Cuando las familias y los maestros trabajan juntos como un equipo, los niños se desempeñan mejor académicamente.
