Landscaping Beautification : Thanks, Calling All Dads!
A huge shoutout to our amazing PTA for spearheading the "Calling All Dads" event aimed at enhancing our school environment. The efforts put forth by everyone involved have made a tremendous impact on our campus.
The incredible team that showed up last Sunday successfully revamped the area outside of the 4/5 hallway by dismantling flower beds and replacing them with new plants and mulch. Additionally, they beautified the front of the school by planting new greenery in the planters, picking up trash around the entire campus, and clearing debris near and around the flagpole. They also took the time to trim overhanging limbs on the steps to the lower field and revitalized the appearance of the front exterior of the building with a thorough pressure wash.
This event attracted not only dads but also several moms and students, underscoring the strength of our supportive parent community. We are incredibly fortunate to have such dedicated individuals contributing to the betterment of River Eves.
Heartfelt gratitude to our PTA and all volunteers for their commitment to creating the best possible learning environment for our students. Your hard work and dedication do not go unnoticed, and your efforts truly make River Eves the exceptional school it is.
Thanks for all you do!
Georgia Milestones Testing
Greetings Families,
A detailed calendar of the days each grade level will be testing is attached below.
Testing will begin promptly at 8:00 on each day of testing. It is imperative that students arrive to school on time so that they are not rushed before their assessment begins.
Our staff has been working hard to ensure your student feels confident and prepared for these assessments. We will be reminding them to take their time and to do their best, and we encourage you to do the same. Ensuring students get a good night’s rest each evening and arrive to school with enough time to enjoy breakfast and get to class before 7:40 are other ways you can help your child feel prepared and confident on testing day.
If you have any questions, please feel free to send me an email.
Thank you!
Mrs. Lavoie, Assistant Principal

School Calendar Change for May 21
On May 21st, Fulton County Schools will be implementing a virtual learning day for all students. This decision has been made in response to the statewide election scheduled to take place on that day.
While our dedicated staff will be required to report to River Eves, all students will remain at home for the day. Our teachers will provide students with assignments and activities to complete from home. These assignments will be communicated through our usual channels. We encourage all students to engage actively with their assigned tasks and to reach out to their teachers should they require any assistance or clarification.
We understand that this change may disrupt your usual routine, and we sincerely appreciate your understanding. Should you have any questions or concerns regarding the virtual learning day on May 21st, please do not hesitate to contact me.

May is Mental Health Month
Attendance Matters ALL DAY, EVERY DAY
Please keep your child home if they are feeling sick (vomiting or running a fever), but don’t forget to email your child’s teacher to inform of their absence/provide a doctor’s note. If your child is missing a lot of school due to illness, check with the teacher about any work that needs to be completed. Also, check in with your child to ensure they're caught up on missed assignments, and to see if they need assistance and/or support to complete them. Reach out to your child's teacher for assistance when necessary.
