Next week will mark an important signpost during a school year, as we will be hosting our first round of School Learning Conferences – an opportunity for parents/guardians, students, and teachers, to get together and discuss learning and achievement. If you are having any difficulty in booking these conferences, please reach out to your child’s homeroom teacher directly. They will be happy to help! We are looking to seeing everyone in the school and catching up with you.
Pedestrian bridge repair updates
Thank you to our students, their families, and our staff for their flexibility in managing the recent closure (and re-opening, with temporary fixes) of our pedestrian bridge over 1st Avenue. It truly takes a village to support our children, and I am very thankful for everyone’s support, whether in speaking with your children about pedestrian safety or in volunteering as a temporary crossing guard!
2025-26 Yearbook updates
School yearbooks are now available for advance purchase. They are delivered to students in June, but we need to know how many to print, so we sell them early. This year the K-9 hardcover colour book will be a “Through the Decades” theme! The price for yearbooks is $35. Please order on: https://jostensyearbooks.com/?REF=A01118549
School Council updates: November meeting, bottle drive, and more!
Our November School Council and Parent Society meetings will take place on Thursday, November 20 at 700PM in the Learning Commons. These meetings are a great opportunity to be involved in our school community and to engage in work to enhance learning opportunities for Riverside students. Joining our meetings does not obligate you to take on any work or join any committees! Our November meetings will also serve as the Annual General Meetings for each group.
