Good Morning River Hawk Families,

I hope this finds everyone well and that our 8th grade parents who were out late last night picking up their Universal trip students are getting to sleep in! While Universal's bus pick-up system was a bit of a mess, all the students we spoke to had a GREAT time and we hope your student did, too! We appreciate all of our patient parents waiting back at the school, especially those who had to wait for our very last bus. Our Rio kids were AMAZING at the park and were are so proud of them. A huge shout out to our ASB Advisor, Ms. Ng, and Mr. Flores for organizing a great trip. Everything they did ran smoothly and we appreciate them!

This week brings textbook return through science classes and late work deadlines for most of our classes. If your student needs to reach out to their teacher, I highly recommend you make sure they are sending that email today or Sunday, as this week will go by very quickly.

Finally, be sure to check out the sign-up genius link below for the 8th grade dance. We are in need of water bottles and chaperones.
