Welcome back to what's sure to be a very exciting year ahead, where each and every individual feels empowered to grow and learn in a place where they truly belong. It was so great to see so many of our learning community at our Back to School Night. Thank you for joining us! Our partnership with parents is critical to the success of our students. We truly value your input and support.
Things are in full swing here at Riverview as teachers are working to establish routines, structures, and clear expectations for students. We are so proud of all of the Riverview Rocket behavior that has been shown all around the school thus far. Students are encouraged to continue to show this outstanding behavior not only in their classrooms but also at lunch and recess, in their specials, on the bus, and beyond. It has been so wonderful to see their smiling faces each morning and hearing all of their excitement as they leave school each day.
Teachers have started with curriculum and students are moving right into Reading Workshop, Writing Workshop, Phonics, Math, Science, Social Studies, and countless other learning experiences that happen each day. We will continue to work towards providing the students with meaningful, engaging, and authentic learning experiences that foster deep understanding of content and application to real-world experiences.
We would like to remind everyone about the Foundation of Denville Golf Outing and Dinner on September 23. We look forward to seeing everyone at our Ice Cream Social on October 7 for a special night of sweet treats and "Reading Under the Stars!" We are also looking forward to our PTA Welcome Tea on October 16. Mr. Forte will be at this meeting as well and will be providing an information session regarding space concerns and the possibility of expanding to St. Marys. We are so thankful for the support of our amazing PTA and entire learning community for all their assistance in the positive start to the school year. We look forward to a great year ahead!
