We are excited to start Lion's Pride, our before and after school program, on Monday August 15. We ask that you are patient and flexible with us as we learn and navigate our new software Procare. If you have not registered yet, please follow this link.

Welcome back everyone!

It was so wonderful to see our new and returning students and all the smiling waving parents in the carline! As exhausted as I was Friday evening, it was all worth it to be back for my 7th year at Riverwalk. I am so blessed to have added 6th grade to my guidance rotation and get to keep those students for one more year before passing them on to Mrs. Menges.

This coming week I will start my lessons in the classroom and begin working on my first bulletin board of the year. I hope we can post photos of these boards this year so all the parents can see them as well. I use the lesson work of some of the students to make up most of the board. Following our year of learning about the Energy Bus and being positive, I am going to incorporate mindfulness lessons and give the students more tools to stay calm, positive and mindful so they can work towards small and large, short term and long term goals.

Further, I will share more links to tools you can use at home to continue the students’ lessons and learning. In the next few weeks, I will be planning small groups as well. If you have a topic (anger management, social skills, organizational skills/executive functioning) that you would love your student to expand on in a small group setting with me, please reach out. As always, if you need anything for your family or your student, I am here for everyone.



Warm Regards,

Mrs. Carr

Hello PRIDE!!!

We are so excited to see everyone tomorrow night at Meet the Teacher. We are even more excited for school to start on Wednesday. If you are anything like me, you’re busy doing the last minute running around and it’s a mix of anxiety and excitement. However, when I slow down and think about it- it’s a brand new start. It’s also a chance for opportunities and growth for our staff and our students. If we all go into this with a mindset of opportunity and belief that we can overcome any obstacles, we can achieve anything. This year, our theme is PRIDE Believe. PRIDE Achieve. I strongly believe in our staff and our students, and I believe this is going to be a year filled with achievements and growth. I am absolutely honored and humbled to be a part of this PRIDE.

I look forward to seeing all of you tomorrow night. 

Warmly,

Christy Dempsey 

Welcome back everyone!

I have so enjoyed being reunited with all of our staff and students this week. I love getting to see all the growth and change that happened over the summer in your kiddos. I can’t wait for year 2 being a part of this Riverwalk Family. As we look forward to next week, here is what you need to know:

-8th and 10th grade will soon take home a form regarding the PSAT. Keep an eye out for that over the next couple of weeks!

-The course add/drop deadline is Wednesday, August 17th. Please submit course request forms by then. Remember these should be necessary changes, and they all cannot always be fulfilled. 

Quote of the week: “Change can be scary, but you know what’s scarier? Allowing fear to stop you from growing, evolving, and progressing.”

Sincerely,

Mrs. Menges
