Well, ready or not October is here! We are winding down the first grading period. The students have been working hard at getting their AR goals! To be able to attend the Riverside Roster party students have to have their AR goal and have one of the following, perfect attendance, all 3's and 4's on their report card or all homework done this quarter. The roster parties are a fun time so we do not want anyone to miss out. AR deadline is October 19th.
My Big Campus is a place where some of us are posting things for our kids to access for our classes. This is not a "Facebook" for kids. We have been discussing this with our classes. Students need to make sure what they are posting is realavant to school. Things they are posting are filtered through Lightspeed and we also have a person on staff who is addressing these issues. We ask that you also talk to your student about making sure what they post is school related. Along that same line please as a parent check what social media your child is using. Students are posting on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter quite often. Most of the time they are innocent and fun but sometimes children of this age post things without thinking. Earlier in September we had a week of Digital Citizenship here at Riverside and we discussed these things with the students. We would just appreciate if you also have these discussions with your child.
Next week we will be starting our next PBL project dealing with the election process. Students will be either running or helping another student run for a class office. We are also having someone from our team run for Vice-President of Riverside. Today students put their names into a box if they were interested in running for this major office. Students will be learning about the three branches of government and about the election process. Look for more information to come!
Have a great weekend!
