Message from Mrs. Smith:

It is hard to believe that we are already ONE MONTH into our 2nd Semester! Thank you to all of our parents that attended our Honor's Day on Friday. It was so much fun to celebrate our students and their hard work. Thank you for your continued support with our Safety Procedures. Riverbend is partnering with the North Hall Cluster to raise money to buy new raincoats for our School Resource Officers. We will have a Hat Day on Friday February 3, 2023. If your child would like to participate, they can bring $2.00 on Friday to wear a hat! Thank you for supporting this great cause. You will be getting information about the Heart Challenge this week. We hope that all of our students will participate! This week we will have Early Release Day on February 2, 2023. If you would like to have a parent conference on that day or any other day, please contact your child's teacher. If you are interested in knowing more about Technology and how to help your child at home, please join me for our Coffee and Chat on February 6, 2023 @ 7:30 am in the Media Center. 

PTO is working hard to plan Teacher Appreciation Week. They are also working on planning a Family Movie Night in May. If you are interested in helping, please attend our next PTO meeting on  February 8th @ 7:30 a.m. in the Media Center. 

I look forward to partnering with our parents and community through Partners in Education and PTO in 2023. If you or  a local business you know would like more information about how they can help our school, please email keri.smith@hallco.org. 

Please remember that our school day begins at 7:50. If your student arrives at 7:50 or after, they are counted tardy and they are missing instructional time.

If you are not in line by 2:40, you must come to the front of the school to pick up your child. If you need additional tags, or have lost your tag, please contact the front office.
