to Mrs. Rivera's Class!

Wow!! Time flies when you're having fun! I cannot believe that we are already in the 4th 9-weeks of school!

Report cards went home and now we are back to the grind of working hard and mastering our Florida State Sunshine Standards!! FSA writing has come and gone and I know without a doubt that my kiddos were ready and well prepared for their writing test! They've worked so hard this year improving their writing skills.

FSA reading and math are just around the corner! We will be working hard the next few weeks reviewing everything we have learned this year!

Keep pushing your kids to show up on time, work hard, and do their best every. single. day. :)

Please read through all of the info on this page, as it changes frequently and contains very important details for you and your student.

As always, feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions. I am here for YOU and your student.
