Raging Waters

Reminder: Friday is our field trip to Raging Waters to celebrate the end of the school year. Please remember to bring a swimsuit, rash guard, beach towel, lots of sunscreen, and a sack lunch. A dry change of clothes for the ride home is a great idea as well.  We will most likely be getting back to Rio del Mar around 5:00 pm so be sure to make pick up arrangments. 

THANK YOU!

Thank you so much for all the wonderful gifts I've been receiving this week. I feel very appreciated!! My lunch today was super yummy : ) and I love the card from the class, especially because it's one of Nate Tall's cards.

Smarter Balanced CAASPP Testing

We did practice testing today. I had three students absent today, so I've decided to start testing tomorrow. Students should be well rested and have eaten a healthy breakfast to help them be as focused and comfortable as possible during testing. 

Please do your very best to ensure that your son/daughter is present every day for these next two weeks. 

Guitar Lessons

If anyone is interested in guitar lessons this summer, I'm available. Or if you know anyone who is looking for guitar lessons, please pass my name along.

Jr. High Field Trip is Cancelled / Volunteer Appreciation

Thursday's Field Trip is CANCELED.

We are canceling the field trip on Thursday because they have canceled the campus tour and the class visitations due to SBAC Testing. These are the best parts of the field trip, so it doesn't make any sense to go now. We've already received all the information we need from Mr. Moran's visit to our school and the 8th-grade presentations. It would be redundant at this point to listen to another speech in the gymnasium for and hour.


Volunteer Appreciation:

We are blessed at Rio to have so many wonderful volunteers serve our school throughout the year. I am so very thankful for all who have helped make this school year one of my best ever. Please join us Friday morning during drop-off for coffee and treats as a small token of our appreciation. We will also be honoring those 6th-grade volunteers who are serving for their final year at Rio at our all-school assembly from 8:00 am to 8:30 am.

End of Year Math Placement Study Guide

Here is a link to the Study Guide that the District is providing students to help prepare them for the End of the Year Big Ideas Math placement test. This "high stakes" test will be used to determine whether or not a student qualifies for accelerated math in 7th grade.
