Georgia Milestones Testing
Greetings Families,
As the window for the Georgia Milestones Assessment gets closer, I wanted to share an overview of our testing window that will last from April 29th-May 10th. 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

Our School Governance Council voting window is now open so please don’t wait to cast your vote! From April 17 – April 24, you will be able to vote for your preferred School Governance Council representative. This year we only had one parent declare candidacy. You can find Natalya Alpert’s candidate statement below.
I am proud to be the parent of Celia Adler, currently in third grade, and another child who will soon enter kindergarten. My professional background is in Retail Media Marketing. Over the years, I have been deeply engaged at River Eves, having served a two-year tenure on the PTA board as the Vice President of Academic Enrichment, and acted as a room parent for three years. Witnessing the passion and commitment of our faculty has consistently left me impressed. It would be a privilege for me to contribute to the School Governance Council.

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.

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.
Help Your Child Succeed in School: Build the Habit of Good Attendance! School success goes hand in hand with good attendance!
