Thank you so much to our very own Clayton Police Department and SRO’s who delivered a huge donation of school supplies today. Not only do they keep us safe, they look out for all our needs to keep our teachers and students starting off the year ahead.

Johnston County Public Schools is committed to providing quality education to its students and professional learning environments for its staff, free of distractions, and supporting high-quality teaching and learning, enhancing student well-being, and maintaining a safe and focused school environment.
Recent studies indicate that cell phone use, particularly for social media and interaction, can interfere with students' ability to focus on learning and negatively impact students in many ways. Excessive use of cell phones and social media has been linked to lower academic performance, increased behavioral issues, and other conditions that hinder students' ability to excel.
In recent legislation, House Bill 959, Session Law 2025-38, revisions were made addressing clear guidelines for the use of cell phones to include educational purposes. The Johnston County Board of Education has adopted Policy Code: 4318 Use of Wireless Communication Devices.
Families are strongly encouraged to review the policy in its entirety.

Good evening Riverwood families.
This is Mrs. Pawlak and I am incredibly honored and humbled to serve as you Principal for the 2025-2026 school year. I know many of you already received the message from Mrs. White about her new position with Johnston County Schools and that I will be the next principal starting August 1st.
I am excited about this opportunity to serve RES students, staff and families, but first want to encourage you all to come out and celebrate Mrs. White on her last day at Riverwood with a Thank You drive-through Parade.
The drive through parade will follow along the carline route circling by the front of the school. Decorate your cars, have your kids make cards or just be present to give your thanks to Mrs. White for all that she has done for Riverwood Elementary and its families.
Please join me on Thursday, July 31st from 5:30 - 6:30 as we say farewell and best wishes on her next endeavor.
Thank you and I will be sharing more information in the coming weeks pertaining to the new school year.
Have a wonderful evening

Good morning Riverwood Elementary families. This is your principal, Mrs. White. I wanted to make you aware that I have accepted the position of Johnston County Public Schools Area Assistant Superintendent for Elementary Schools. Applying for and accepting this role at the district level has been one of the most difficult decisions I’ve ever made. I love this school, I love this Staff, I love our families, and I especially love our students. I have had the privilege and pleasure of serving as principal of this great school and community for 9 years. Our Staff, parents, and students have sustained me. Your support and trust over the years means so much to me and you and our students have had a deep and lasting impact in my life. However, I feel that I am being called at this time to serve our district in a different capacity. I am beyond excited to tell you that Mrs. Pawlak will be your new Principal effective August 1st. Mrs. Pawlak is more than ready to lead this school into its next chapter and wonderful things will happen under her leadership. She is incredibly equipped and prepared, and I know that you will give her your full support as you have given me. She and this top notch Staff will continue the incredible work we’ve done together. Please know that I will miss our students and our families more than words can express. I live in this community and am excited to still be a part of this community and school events. I also look forward to you and our students emailing me, calling me, and keeping me updated on your lives. Riverwood is a very special place and I'm leaving a piece of my heart here and I thank each of you for allowing me to serve for so many years. Have a wonderful summer and I will see you soon.

Good evening Riverwood Elementary families! This is your principal Mrs. White. We are continuing to prepare for and are very excited for the upcoming 2025-2026 school year. Mark your calendars for Back to School Orientation that is scheduled for Thursday, August 21st. Expect your child's teacher to reach out to you on August 14th with a welcome message back to school and with more Orientation details. As in years past, we are offering 2 different time slots for Orientation, either 4-5 pm or 5:30-6:30 pm. Also, Monday, August 25th is the first day of school for 1st-5th graders. Kindergarten staggered entry will begin on Wednesday, August 27th. If you know of any Kindergarten students who haven't registered for Kindergarten, please ask their families to register as soon as possible so we can get accurate numbers for the upcoming school year. For our Kindergarteners who are already registered, I sent an email with Kindergarten details this morning. Please reach out to me if you did not receive that email. Also, our School Supply List is posted on our website and social media. Thank you and I look forward to seeing everyone in August.

Good afternoon Riverwood Elementary Families and happy hot July! This is Mrs. White your principal calling with a few updates. We are excited for our new Kindergartners to begin their school journey with us. Kindergarten parents, I will be sending out information to you in the coming weeks via email. If you know of any families with an upcoming Kindergartner, please encourage them to finalize their enrollment as soon as possible. Also, we have posted our 2025-2026 School Supply List on our school website and have copies in the front office. We are working on finalizing Orientation details and will get that out to you soon. It has been really awesome to see our students coming in the office and swapping out their books for new books here at school. Keep marking off those Reading Bingo cards and I'm looking forward to enjoying a sweet treat with students who complete the Bingo challenge! As a reminder, students have access to Lexia all summer long. I look forward to seeing everyone in August and I hope you have a wonderful week.

Good evening Riverwood Elementary Families! This is your principal Mrs. White. I hope each of you are enjoying the start to our summer vacation. I wanted to remind families about the Summer Reading Incentive. All students should have received a Summer Reading Bingo Incentive Activity Card in their report card envelopes. The incentive began on June 1st and will go through August. Also, I encourage our students to bring in books they've read over the summer and swap the books out with new books that we have set up in our office. Several students have already come in to swap out their books! Also, the Town of Clayton library is currently closed due to renovations. They will be opening in July at a temporary site but they will continue to offer digital books for students to access while renovating. You can visit the Town of Clayton's Library for detailed information. 2025-2026 Supply Lists and Orientation information will be sent out in July. I hope everyone has a wonderful and safe summer!
