River Dell Talks Safety
A school can never be too prepared because you never know when something could happen. That was the consensus after a crisis response training that River Dell Elementary had for their staff on a teacher work day at the end of the year. Principal Chad Jewett participated in an active shooter scenario organized by Johnston County Public Schools in May for all administrators, and afterwards he wanted to share out this important information with his staff. He worked with JCPS officials and professionals from emergency services to be able to provide this for stakeholders, including parent volunteers, at River Dell.

Back to School Open House
We will be hosting our Back to School Open House on Thursday, August 23rd from 4:30pm to 7:00pm. Due to the size of our school and limited parking we are asking that students with last names beginning with the letters A through L attend our Open House from 4:30pm to 5:30pm; and our students with last names beginning with the letters M through Z attend our Open House from 6:00pm to 7:00pm. We are hoping the 30 minute gap in time will help alleviate some parking issues. We are excited about this upcoming year and we can't wait to see all of you on August 23rd!

Missing or Damaged Library Books
Every summer many students go off on vacation before turning in all of their library books. We encourage students and their families to bring in missing library books over the summer as soon as the items are found to prevent possible loss or damage and to allow the media center to complete the end-of-the-year inventory.
