Half of our Kindergarteners will attend on Wednesday, August 28th, the other half on Thursday, August 29th, and then all Kindergarten students will attend Friday, August 30th. Our bell schedule remains the same this year with students entering the building at 8:25 am, tardy bell is 8:55 am, and we will dismiss at 3:50 pm.

Good evening Riverwood Elementary School This is Mrs. Pawlak, your Assistant Principal. Tonight's message is specifically for our new Kindergarten families. Johnston County Public Schools is closing all campuses and offices on Thursday, August 8th due to inclement weather. As a result, we will need to postpone our Kindergarten Assessments that were originally scheduled. We plan to reschedule these assessments for Monday, August 12th. You will receive a new sign-up option by tomorrow morning. Please feel free to contact the school tomorrow between 7am and 1pm if you have any questions or concerns. Although it is extremely helpful to have students assessed in advance, all students will be placed in a class if for some reason you are not able to attend the new date and time. Thank you so very much for your patience and understanding. We look forward to seeing you all soon. Please stay safe out there over the coming days. Have a great evening

As a reminder, our 3rd-5th graders will be taking the Reading EOG this Thursday, May 23 and the Math EOG Friday, May 24th. Our 5th graders will be taking the Science EOG on Wednesday, May 29th. We are excited for our students to be able to show what they know and have learned this year! We are super proud of how hard all of our students have worked this year. I realize many of you may have plans for Memorial Day weekend but I ask that you refrain from picking up any 3rd-5th graders until 1:30 pm or after this Friday as we cannot pull them from an active test session. Also, school will be closed on Monday, May 27th to honor the Memorial Day Holiday. All EOG score reports with EOG scores will be sent home with students on Friday, May 31st. We are looking forward to the end of the year events. Please reference the letter that was sent home last week for specific dates and times for events.
