WIN: What's Important Now
September Edition
FROM THE DESK OF THE PRINCIPAL
We hope that the first month of school has been excellent for you and your children! It is very clear to me that Riverglen is a kind and supportive community. I have been in awe of the amazing students I interact with each and every day. One of our staff's main areas of emphasis this first month of the school year has been to ensure that every student feels valued, supported and connected while they are at Riverglen. If there is something extra that we can do to ensure this happens for your child, please reach out to me. You can check our school website for upcoming events and pertinant information, but you can always call or email me with questions.
Mr. McKenna

STAFF SPOTLIGHT
This month, we are spotlighting Mrs. Tyczka, Front Office Administrative Assistant, and Mrs. Werhner-Coffman, our AVID 8 and Earth Science Teacher. Please use the links below to learn more about them.
Who is that friendly face at the front desk? Who is the kind voice on the other end of the phone? For our spotlight, we are honoring the staff member that manages our front office to support students, staff, and families.
At Riverglen, we have a master teacher with 33 years of experience who has taught, not only in our community, but internationally! She cares about helping students develop skills as well-rounded individuals who are open-minded, curious, and always learning.
STUDENT CONNECTIONS SURVEY
We have school goals that our amazing teachers and staff work towards achieving during each school year. Our number one goal is to ensure that we have a welcoming and supportive school culture where each student feels welcomed and connected and our diversity is celebrated! We want each and every Grizzly to have a trusted adult at Riverglen who they can turn to for help, advice and support. We also want students to know what strategies they can implement to strengthen their own connection to our school. To make sure that no Grizzly feels disconnected or unsupported, we send out a survey at around the same time each school year to see how we are doing and who we need to make an extra effort with. Here is a copy of the survey we will send out to students during 4th period on September 19th. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
