Busy Short Week

    We hope you all survived Labor Day weekend (AKA Blueberry Weekend).  We had a busy week last week getting our first presentations ready to go.  The groups did a very nice job presenting their Blueberry Projects to their classmates.  We were very impressed with their final products.  They really did a wonderful job.
     This week we will be kicking off a new project that we hope the students will learn a lot from.  We hope they come home during the week talking about what we are doing here at school.
     Students received their September reading calendars last week and they need to make sure they are filling these out daily.  Also, Achieve 3000 is a weekly requirement for everyone al RIS.  This week we start counting Achieve towards our Riverside Roster party.  Students have to meet their weekly Achieve goal of 2 articles at 75% average and meet two of the other Roster requirements to be invited to the party at the end of the quarter.  Our staff really believes in the benefits of the Achieve program.  If your child is struggling encourage them to slow down and go back into the articles to find their answers.  It is not a race.  We want them to take their time and do their best.
     Have a great week.
