Timber Talks
River Mill Elementary - September 22, 2023
Dear River Mill Families,
What an amazing week! We absolutely loved welcoming our families for both our Kindergarten Family Night as well as our Bingo event! We appreciate the opportunity to spend time with you, elicit feedback, and have fun! Thank you for choosing to engage with us in our school events and activities.
This year, in order to connect with you more, we are planning to hold special nights for targeted grade levels. This week we will welcome our 1st and 2nd grade families! On Tuesday, September 26th, we would love for you to join us from 5:00-6:00 to go over some details about how we operate and provide time for some questions and answers. Please see the link below to get your HomeTown Tickets for this event. Children are welcomed! Third, Fourth, and Fifth Grade's Family Night will be on Oct. 3rd and your HomeTown Tickets are available now!
One of our biggest fundraisers that puts money directly back into the classrooms is on the horizon. Please check your child's green Thursday folder for information about our upcoming Jog-a-Thon! We ask families who are willing to support their child to collect pledges. This is an extremely fun event and we would love volunteers to help as well. If you are interested, please be in touch with your child's teacher.
Sincerely,
Corinne Johnsen
Principal, River Mill Elementary

One School, One Book
This year, we will not be purchasing books for families, but we will be reading and sending you a video of a section of the story on weeknights. We want everyone to just enjoy this story as a family and as a school community. We hope this helps students to establish a routine of reading and enjoyment of books! If you want to explore checking the book out at your local library or purchase a copy yourself, we highly encourage you to do so.
All Smiles Community Oral Health
All Smiles Community Oral Health will be providing free dental screenings, sealants, and fluoride at your child’s school in the week of October 30th. Healthy teeth are important to your child’s overall health. A dental screening is a quick look inside your child’s mouth to check the overall health of their teeth. Dental sealants are protective coatings put on the back teeth to prevent cavities and fluoride is a vitamin that is brushed on the teeth to make teeth stronger and prevent cavities.

Weather Changes & Clothes
If your child gets super wet at recess or has a bathroom accident, we do not have extra clothes for them. For all students, Pre-K to 5th grade, please have a spare outfit (including socks) in your child's backpack. This will help make them more comfortable while they are at school.
