The Colts Connection

Greetings Colts Families and Community,

Happy New Year to you and your loved ones! We are thrilled to welcome back our students this week and are determined to make the remainder of this academic year even more successful than 2024. The new year is a wonderful opportunity to reset, recharge, and reimagine how we can grow together as a school community.

As we begin this new chapter, I encourage you to check in with your student and help them set one academic intention for the year ahead. Whether it’s something simple like reviewing notes daily or attending weekly Lunch & Learn sessions, setting a clear goal can provide focus, motivation, and a sense of accomplishment.

I also want to take a moment to acknowledge the devastating fires affecting the Los Angeles area. Our hearts go out to those impacted, and we are deeply grateful for the courage and dedication of our first responders during this challenging time. Please know that our thoughts and support are with everyone in need.

Let’s make 2025 a year of growth, resilience, and success for our Colts family. Thank you for your continued partnership in making our school community shine!

Warm regards,

Eva Isett, Ed. D.

Principal

Students may now request schedule changes for electives only. For level changes, students must first speak with their teacher. Please note that elective classes are limited and dependent on availability.

To request a change, scan the QR code located by the back door of the front office. The request form will be available until Thursday at 3:30 PM.

Happy New Year and welcome back! We hope your winter break was filled with joy, relaxation, and quality time with your loved ones. As we step into this new year, we are excited to share what’s happening in our school community.

This week, our counselors will be delivering presentations on Anti-Bullying and the Importance of Being an Upstander. These sessions are designed to empower students to recognize bullying behaviors, intervene safely, and create a culture of kindness and respect. By encouraging our students to be upstanders, not bystanders, we can work together to ensure a safe and inclusive environment for everyone.

We encourage you to ask your children about what they learned during these presentations and have meaningful conversations at home about the role they can play in fostering a supportive community.

Thank you for your partnership and support as we continue to build a positive school culture.

Families, if your student is on an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) and you would like your student to receive additional academic support on Wednesdays, please reach out to your case carrier and encourage your Colt to stay after school in the library on Wednesdays to receive homework support from 1:30-2:30 PM.

At River Heights, the safety and well-being of our students, staff, and community are our top priority. Students, if you witness or experience bullying, threats, or suspicious behavior, report it to a trusted adult. Parents, stay engaged by talking to your children about their school experiences, monitoring online activities, and reporting concerns.

Together, we can ensure our school remains a safe, secure, and supportive environment for everyone. Thank you for your continued vigilance and partnership in this effort.

We take allegations of bullying and harassment seriously. Please have your student complete a witness statement if they have something to report. If it is an urgent matter, please call the front office at (951) 738-2155, if it is an emergency, please call 911.
