Did you know... JCPS is 1 of 12 districts to exceed pre-pandemic achievement? Not only that, six of our amazing schools exited low performing status. All student subgroups are above pre-pandemic achievement, and JCPS is closing the achievement gaps. #GreatThingsAreHappeningInJCPS

JCPs is 1 of 12 districts to exceed pre-pandemic growth

The next data highlight from the 2023-2024 school year data report is phenomenal! Twenty-three of our schools earned their way into the top 20% of the state for growth. This accomplishment is just one example of students, teachers, and parents working together to propel our district up! #GreatThingsAreHappeningInJCPS

Voters will have the opportunity on November 5, 2024, to vote for a bond that could provide $120 million to JCPS and continue to improve the quality of education we offer our community. It is imperative that all of our leadership and school stakeholders understand the projects that will be funded by this referendum. Join us on Tuesday, September 24, 2024, @ 7:00 PM in the Selma Elementary School auditorium at 311 W Richardson St, Selma, NC. We hope to see you there!

Based on the current weather forecast, Johnston County Public Schools will continue normal operations on Monday, September 16, 2024. However, all after-school and evening campus activities and events have been canceled due to the forecast. We understand that this decision will inconvenience many after-school events, however, student and staff safety is our primary concern. It is our district’s goal to make our school communities as prepared as possible for emergency situations, including inclement weather. This decision has been made out of an abundance of caution, per the guidance of local and state emergency service officials. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we navigate this storm event. We encourage everyone to follow the guidance of local weather officials, and have a safe evening!

Good evening Riverwood Elementary Families! This is your principal Mrs. White with a few updates. We are excited that our Fall Book Fair will be at our school from next Monday, September 16-Friday, September 20. Our Fall Open House and Book Fair Family Night is scheduled for next Thursday, September 19th. We will have floating Open House in classrooms from 4:30-5:30 pm and Book Fair Family Night is from 4-7 pm. We will also have several food trucks on site. Flyers went home with students today. We are also in need of parent volunteers for the Book Fair next week. Please go to our RES Facebook page and sign up to volunteer next week if you are able to do so! We are excited that our carpool sidewalk has been extended in the front of the school. The morning carpool drop off will be the same except this will allow more students to unload onto the extended sidewalk. For afternoon carpool, effective as of Monday, we will shift to students walking down the sidewalk to get into cars instead of down the yellow line to get to their cars. This will be a big change for our staff and students especially in the afternoons. I thank you in advance for your patience and for following the carpool staff's lead before moving your car in the morning and afternoons. Thank you for your continued support and have a great weekend.

Parents, we need your help! We know that Fall is an incredibly busy time for our Riverwood families. However, without enough volunteers for our Scholastic Book Fair, we may need to reduce the hours available for students and families to shop. Thanks in advance and we look forward to seeing you at the fair! https://linktr.ee/respta
