Riverwood Graduates Walk

The Riverwood High School graduates, who attended High Point, will be walking the halls TODAY!!!! There were several students who had to take one last final exam so the walk has been changed from the afternoon to 10:00 am.

We will make an announcement a few minutes prior to the walk so that you can get your students settled in the hallway. Please don't have your students go into the hallway until the announcement has been made. 

We will play the graduation music and we encourage our students to stand and clap for these graduates. And realize that that will be them someday!!!! Thank you for supporting them and explaining what is occurring with your students.

Boss of the Toss Winners!

Congratulations to Team Toddy and Cornholibe for winning the 1st Annual Boss of the Toss Cornhole Competition!!!!

Social Studies Textbooks Discard Tomorrow

As a reminder, the county is coming to pick up all of our Social Studies textbooks so you will need to bring them to the 5th grade hallway (near the teacher's workroom) tomorrow!!!

*Bring all TEs and student editions(only) from your classrooms and book rooms and place neatly against the wall by grade level signs. 

*Send all SS consumables home with students.

Any questions, ask Hess

Returning Math Materials

If you are returning any Title I math materials to Long, please label your items with Post-it Notes.

Thank you!

Trash or Treasure

This Wednesday, teachers can place their own personal items that are gently used and might be wanted by others out in the hallway beginning at 2:45. All items left in the hallway will be THROWN AWAY by Derick and Harry Thursday morning.

If you are unsure about an item, please ask. We want to make sure we are making the right decision regarding school items!!

Please do not place unwanted items in book rooms or teacher lounges. Thank you!!!
