Parents & Students, we have spent Quarter 2 focusing on improving our positive behaviors for Respect and Empathy. Thank you for talking with your child about showing Respect and Empathy to all classmates, their friends, all teachers, and staff members. How we treat each other matters, and we consider our Riverwatch community an extended family.

We have been reading student names on our morning announcement shout-outs for earning Panther PRIDE Points during December. Your child will be able to spend those points in January when they return from break, so that is something to look forward to in 2024! Best wishes to you for a peaceful break.

After 16 rounds of words, we have our 2023 RMS Spelling Bee winner, 8th grader Cade Baker, and runner-up, 6th grader Mridula Rao. Congratulations to these two and all of our participants today who impressed us with their skills, composure, and word knowledge! You all are #RMSGoodAsGold.
