New River Wildcat News-March 22nd
Third Quarter Awards this Monday, March 25th @ 9 a.m.
State testing is coming! Please be sure your student has a set of headphones.
Wow, it’s hard to believe that we are in the final quarter of the 2023-24 school year. Our major focus this month is AASA testing which will take place during the whole month of April, with the exception of 5th grade AZ Science testing on Tuesday & Wednesday, March 26 & 27, 2024. The teachers have worked hard to prepare the students for testing and we are confident that the students will do well on the tests. You can help during testing week by making sure your child is well-rested when they come to school. You can also assist us by making sure your child arrives to school on time and is not absent so they don’t miss any parts of the test. For your convenience, a copy of the testing schedule is included in this newsletter.
With allergy season in full swing, we are in need of Kleenex. If you would like to donate a box or two, please send them to the office, they are most appreciated! There's always a need in classrooms. Thank you kindly!
It is that time of year when we ask you to let us know if you will be returning to New River Elementary for the 2024-25 school year. We love having your child/children in our school, however, should you be moving, relocating or applying for special programs elsewhere, please email shanna.hall@dvusd.org or call 623-376-3505 with this information. If you know of any families who have students who will attend New River in the fall, let them know we will be happy to register them now. Registration can be done online at dvusd.org/enroll. Thank you for your help in this matter.
Hi families and friends,
Our school is participating in a creative fundraiser with Art to Remember that allows you to purchase keepsake products customized with your child's art. There are over 60 products and many are less than $15. These make great gifts and a percentage of every purchase goes right back to our school. Click on the link below and enter the online order code shown on your child's order form or to search for your child's artwork. Then, have fun shopping!
