✅ TOP 5 THINGS TO KNOW
#1 Save the Spring dates! 🌺
Spring is here and so are the final months of the 2023-2024 school year. Can you believe it?! This means we have a lot of important dates to keep in mind, please visit this calendar of Spring events by visiting Spring at Four Rivers 2024. Please also keep referring back to the document as it will be updated as necessary. Thank you Four Riv Family! Let’s finish the year strong.
#2 4-Day School Week Survey Results
Thank you all for taking the time to provide your feedback regarding the potential transition to a 4-day school week next year. Your shared thoughts, suggestions, and questions are greatly appreciated.
The board and administration are still carefully considering this possibility. In this process we are really being thoughtful and intentional about the feedback and potential positive/negative impacts.
More information will come soon!
#3 Testing Month = Be Well-Rested 😴
Statewide testing will take place this month for grades 3rd-8th and 11th. Please make sure your student(s) is/are well-rested and eats a healthy breakfast on test days.
#4 Calling all sweet-toothed supporters for Dia del Niño 🍬
Every year at Four Riv, Mexican culture comes alive during Día del Niño where we celebrate the wonder of childhood! This celebration is just around the corner, April 26, and we need your help to make it a sugar-filled success! Please consider donating your favorite candies to delight the kids (we put them in piñatas). Donations can be dropped off at the front desk with Mercy. Thank you!
